| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
Power, accelerates well.
Styling.
Decent sound system.
Overall I like the Equinox. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
Better turning radius.
Better gas mileage.
Better seat covers, (stain easily with only water).
Relocate the window controls to the doors.
Move the parking brake to the floor where it belongs.
Redesign the center console. 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Review:
Overall I like the Equinox. However, Chevrolet has much work to do. The center light in the rear hatch visor was falling out so I removed the visor to reinstall the screws that were laying in the visor. Now, the weatherstrip hangs up on the body when you try to open the hatch. The visor screw holes are not such that you can adjust the visor position. The weather striping on the door windows does not adhere well nor does it even make contact with the glass. Poorly designed center console. Parking brake should be on the floor. Window buttons should be on the doors. Gas mileage not good for a vehicle of it's size. 36,000 miles and the alternator bearings are making noise. Ventilation controls do not always work correctly; when you select dash vents, air continues to blow through the defroster. Sometimes starter continues to runs briefly, after you release the key. Seats stain easily even if all that gets on them is water. Noisy brakes. Excessive road noise. Poor turning radius.
We had to have some minor body work done after it was hit while parked. While in the body shop, we were provided with a Hyundai Santa Fe. The Hyundai, with the exception of the sound system was a far superior vehicle.
We have also been provided with a Nissan Pathfinder Armada when we had to return to the body shop. Again, the Nissan was a much better vehicle.
I have said that I like the Equinox, but I would not buy another if Chevrolet did not make the changes I thought it needed to. Also if you want an Equinox LT (ours is the LS) I strongly suggest you look at the Nissans, Toyotas and Hyundais. Now that GM is owned by the government, I won't buy another GM period. I've alway been a GM person. Now? I'd buy a Ford first! However, if I want an American car, (our Equinox was built in Ontario, Canada while my Dad's '05 Nissan Titan was built in Tennessee) I'll buy a Nissan, Honda or Toyota. |

I loved this car. It had tons of room inside and I really liked the body style. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
Fix the blind spots and make the turning radius better. 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Review:
I had this car for four and a half months. When I got it it had 86K. We put about 3500 miles on it and it caught on fire in the middle of the night. It had been sitting for over 5 hrs.!!! The fire investigators say the fire started in the engine compartment. Beware of this car. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
Nice size, handles well, looks good, lots of power, good visibility, great A/C and heater, great on long trips, super seating and fold down options, love the sun roof. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
Emergency brake almost impossible to use, could be more room in trunk (those 2 side panels block much space) there are NO assist/grab handles to enter the car--these are a must! Try cleaning snow off windshield with those 2 side panels on each side, 3 different size windshield wipers, awful wind noise from roof rack, could be more room in trunk, should be undercoated. 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Review:
A good vehicle, sort of fun to drive, will know this winter with 14'' of snow at 40 below, needs a running board and grab handles for sure, pleased with it so far, time will tell. |

At first I loved it, begged my husband for it.
Not much I am thrilled with after 3 years of leasing. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
Cheap interior, lots of mechanical issues.
Have to replace the transmission. It was defect and the warranty expired. 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Review:
HATE IT !!! I will never buy another GMC car again. I now know why people buy foreign cars now. They hold the value and are reliable. It is horrible in the snow and the car has given us nothing but problems. |

Rear side of the truck makes it hard to reverse and to back up. I had several major mechanical problems including in 2 year I have owned the vehicle, I have replaced the battery, alternator, starter, catalytic converter, a/c compressor and valve. 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Review:
I have had the a horrible experience with the vehicle, it is 2-years old and it is worthless, I would NEVER recommend you to purchase this vehicle. I purchased it brand new and GMC has done nothing but make excuses. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
I love the exterior styling of this vehicle. It looks very sleek and upbeat. I also love the AWD that came with mine. I've not had any problems with my Equinox at all and it has 54000+ miles at the moment. As for my Equinox which is AWD, I don't get bad gas mileage, especially not in comparison to my Blazer I had before it. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
Put more features on the base LS. Also improve the interior quality, I don't see how this could last a long while. Also the P235/65-R16 tires on this vehicle make it hard to find a variety of tire, eek! 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Review:
Good vehicle and I would recommend it to anyone. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
It's a nice looking car.
Not too small, not to big.
Easy to handle, easy to park. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
Better placed controls.
Back window would be longer.
Have ash trays.
More comfortable driver seat.
Get rid of blind spots on drivers and passengers front side.
Better gas mileage. 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Review:
Nice size for a single person, plenty of leg space. It steers and handles nicely. Gas mileage could be better. There are some blind spots. The controls are not in a very convenient place. Would I buy another one yes but this time it would have power seating and I would not pick black as the color. I've owned a Chevy Blazer for years and this is the closest thing to it. I love my Chevy's. |

I get terrable gas mileage! Ive had it in the shop a fiew times trying to figure out what's wrong but they cant seem to find what's wrong with it. They do not hold there value at all. I have tryed to get rid of mine and they will only give me $9,000 and I owe almost $17,000 there is nothing wrong with my car, now I'm stuck with it. 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Review:
I'm not happy with this car! I will not buy another one and if I could get rid of it without being totally upside down in the next car I would. |
