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.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
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.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
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.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
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.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
For being a suv it accelerates quickly. It also is very practical for everyday living.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?
Now that I have seen some interiors of the '08's I think that they could have used higher quality materials in enhancing the appearance of the inside.

2006 Chevrolet Equinox Review:
I usually regret my buys as far as cars but I still love my car to this day. I even convinced my mom to get one.
