Great car

Bought new in 04 and in 2022 with 175k miles still running well. Original almost everything except tires and battery. Transmission might be starting to slip.

The Most Luxurious Car I Ever Owned

This car was purchased to haul children and an elderly parent. The back seat is roomy and the seats adjust. This was especially important because my mother needed the seat up straight (not recline) in order to get in and out of the car. The back seat had enough room that I was able to assist her in getting in and out. The rear hatch door has a tray table and a plug to use a slow cooker. etc. great tailgating features! The seats are soft and adjustable. Overall this is a great car, which is why I held on to it so long.

Leaking fuel

Bad purchase, leaking fuel, not safe. I have a 7 year old daughter that I have to transport to and from school. At the time of purchase, Ramon reiterated that this vehicle was safe.

Roomy and Sturdy - best of both worlds!

May not be much to look at, but it sure is handy to have! I like to refer to it as an SUV in car form because of all of the interior space. My husband and I can fit our two children in their carseats in the backseat and we all still have plenty of leg and "wiggle" room. This is a very reliable, family-friendly vehicle.

Chevy is the way to go!

I was so glad I purchase this vehicle in 2013, I absolutely love this car. It is very reliable and great on gas, I still have it and will continue to drive it until it won't run anymore.
