I like my car, and I mainly like all of the features about it. I especially like the amount of car and trunk room that I have, and this has been very useful to me. I wish it was slightly more economical on gas, but I can get about a half tank for $15, which is usually good enough for me. My car does have a lot of problems with rusting and the frame, which resulted in me having to get both of my rear wheels welded back to the frame. Additionally, my key does not work to unlock the door. My hood is very hard to open, and one of the electrical plugs does not work. Although I had these issues, I believe they were the fault of the people I purchased my car from, and not a direct problem of the car itself.

The Equinox is a small SUV/crossover. While it is not a full-sized SUV it is convenient for transporting large items. It sits higher off of the ground than a car, yet not as high as a full-sized SUV. It rides comfortably for the most part and includes a nice sunroof for those cool sunny days. The seating area is not as spacious as I would like it to be though. There is a good amount of trunk space and the back seats lie down to provide more trunk space if needed. It gets reasonable gas mileage and has all wheel drive. It has a convenient rear windshield wiper and also has the OnStar option on the rear-view mirror. It is a great car for a small family, but if I were to recommend the vehicle I would recommend the newer models to the 2005 model as they are more comfortable and have better, newer features. If I were to upgrade to a newer vehicle I don't think I would choose another Equinox unless I didn't find anything else reasonable enough for me. It's not my vehicle of choice but it gets the job done.
