2005 Chevrolet Equinox LT review from North America
"Best blend of car minivan and suv"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
I have had this car for 4 1/2 weeks and have loved every moment of it. I have the LT FWD fully loaded with every availble option. Most people say that the car has a cheap look about it inside and out, but I strongly disagree.
The seats are very comfortable the dash is well layed out.
The padding on the doors is soft.
The 7 speaker sound system is great.
The back seats have more leg room than my mother's Tahoe.
Head room is not a problem for me in front or back and I am tall, 6'2".
It has lots of cargo space.
The ride is more like a sport sedan than an SUV.
Chevy claims 19mpg in town, but by keeping the rpms at or below 2000 you can squeeze 21 out of it.
Don't let anyone tell you that it is a family car I'm only 20 and get lots of looks in it. My girl friend loves it, but it would make a OK family car, too.
For those of you out there looking for a mid-size suv I highly recommend this one. When I was looking I drove every thing from a Land Rover Freelander to a Kia Sportage and none of them come close to the car. As a last word "GET THE LEATHER HEATED SEATS!!!"
