Thread: Is this true about Chevrolet Cars and SUVs?

I am looking into getting the 2010 Chevy Equinox for my birthday and someone told me chevys are good for the first couple of years and after that they aren't very reliable.

Is this true???

No, it's not true for all the vehicles they make.

Your friend is very simple minded.

No its not true.

good choice! i love the 2010 Equinox. but back to the question. that is just a perception. The past few decades it was true because GM wasn't trying, but now that they are in trouble they are trying extremely hard. The new chevy malibu actually has better than average reliability raitings. Pretty much all new GM products are just as reliable as any other automaker. Plus they look better, drive better and in some cases have better quality. The equinox is the new class leader in fuel economy, quality and surpasses the rav4 or CRV in just about everyway. I say go ahead, buy american and be confident that your equinox will work well for a long time. Not to mention that if it does start to crap out after 2 or 3 years you have a 5yr/100000 mil warrenty on that puppy so no worries. GO FOR IT!!!!!

I have a 1992 Chevy Astro that has 244,000 miles on it, and still going strong. I would drive it any where. I also have a 1989 Chevy S-10 that has 234,000 miles on it. It uses a little oil, but I still get 26 miles per gallon. I think Chevys are great vehicles.
