Used 2005 Chevrolet Equinox Consumer Reviews
Fun to Drive ! Great to look at!
Great car. Easy to handle, nice looking exterior cool features. Only thing I dont like is the plastic on the rear and front bumpers, easy to scratch, must be careful parallel parking, leave a lot of room between cars. Otherwise a great choice. Much better looking and easier to handle than other SUV's in its class.
Very good overall but lacks performance
I love my Equinox, it's very good looking and comfortable as well as spacious but I think we can do with a little more horsepower and torque. It looks fast and sporty but looks its all it has in performance. Overall, I'm very happy with my SUV.

Backfiring Problem
We purchased our Equinox in April '05. I fell in love with the look of this SUV. Reminded me of the Lexus SUV. We traded in our Dodge Ram for it. About 6 weeks after purchase, it started to make a loud backfiring, or popping noise as I would slow down or come to a stop. Also does it when I first start it. Taken it back to the dealership several times. They don't know what is wrong with it. Really emabarrasing when someone at the gas station is complimenting the look of my car & I start it up & it backfires. Very close to trading it in for another Dodge. Engine wants to stall sometimes too when I go to start it. I was very dissapointed in such a pretty car.
Great look sucky engine
I bought my nox almost 8 months ago. How its not running at all. I bout it with 50k miles, I have never beat my car nor let the antifreeze go low, some how a headgasket is broke. That after it wouldn't start. We replaced the battery and the starter. The starter was smoking so we thought it would be that, nope. So the headgasket is supposedly broke. I hope we get that fixed and its perfect. Also the seats do stain really easy. I bought seat covers the first week I owned it
Fun for Trip
We first saw the car at the LA Auto Show. Both my husband and I loved it! We both automatically agreed on the Lazer Blue Metallic as this is a very unusual color. We drove it over Easter weekend up to Northern California and were very impressed with its long distance fuel economy and its very smooth ride. We get a lot of stares because of the color, but we don't mind. We enjoy the car and our son thinks this SUV "Rocks".
