I own a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox. I love that it is roomy and has the space of a small SUV, yet it still maneuvers like a car. The exterior paint has remained very shiny and has not chipped when the car has been dinged in the 10+ years I have owned it. The interior is easy to care for and has held up well to two children. I have had very few parts need replaced, and the parts I have had to replace from regular wear and tear have been under $500. It has never broken down on the road, even after a fairly even mix of highway and city driving. I bought the vehicle used in 2008, so it was only two years old, and paid less than $10,000 for it. Overall, it has been an extremely reliable car. I feel like it still looks like a fairly "new" car, despite its age and the miles I have put on it. I would absolutely buy this make and model of vehicle again. It has over 115,000 miles on it, and the ride remains smooth. There is no noise when I drive -- a problem I have had with vehicles when they get past five or ten years old in the past -- and I feel extremely safe on the road when I am driving or riding in it.

The Equinox that I purchased was used. It was still in somewhat good condition. For starters, the gentleman that I bought it from was the sweetest with helping me chose a vehicle. He gave me scenarios on where this car could take me. I love how spacious the Equinox is. I can fold both sides or just the back seat for hauling things. Well, the only flaw that I have about it is that when I go over 30 MPH, there's a clicking sound. When I push on the brake, it does not make a sound. I have purchased three of these vehicles. One for my eldest son and one for my husband. They all have the same noise. But overall, I love this car and so does the rest of my family.
