Used 2005 Chevrolet Equinox for Sale

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.

I like that the car is roomy inside, big enough for all 4 of my kids to fit comfortably. The overall look of the vehicle is very appeasing. There is a feature that allows the back seat to slide forward or backwards about 12 inches for either more trunk space or more leg room. The power of the vehicle is good and efficient as well as the handling. It feels quite safe to drive. I also love that is an AWD but still gets decent gas mileage for the type and year of vehicle. The interior is a bit unusual in that the front seat drink holder (while in use) collides with the emergency brake if engaged. Interior is not very durable and cosmetic features have broken easily. The entire top end of the engine needed to be replaced due to the orange coolant used in the system. This was considered a factory default in which many of these vehicles suffered blown head gaskets, among other issues within the cooling system. The transmission had to be replaced at 74,000 miles. Many other mechanical issues continued to arise after the 75,000 mile point. I have almost replaced everything under the hood including the computer on this vehicle.
