I have owned quite a few cars in my lifetime and I am sad to say most of them have been foreign. I was a Honda or Mitsubishi kind of girl because I just didn't know any better. I am a mother of two small boys and I recently found myself needing an SUV. My husband did all of the research, and for whatever reason he recommended the Chevrolet Equinox. My only criteria in our car buying search was the size of the vehicle. I didn't want the SUV to be too big for me. I definitely wanted to go with a pre-owned certified vehicle and, boy, the Chevrolet Equinox did not disappoint!

The 2008 Chevrolet Equinox has proved to be a very reliable vehicle even at high mileage. Its performance is amazing for an SUV. It easily squalls the tires if you punch the gas and handles extremely well on tight turns and winding roads. The vehicle is comfortable and sporty with very few maintenance issues. The few problems I have are related to design flaws - the cup holders pop out of the center console and break easily and the mass of wires that pass through a rubber boot from the dash to the doors are too tight or too short with the door fully open and can become damaged or pinched which in my case affected the passenger side power window.
