The 2008 Chevy Equinox is Rated by Forbes as one of the Best Used Cars for the Money

Drivers searching for used vehicles in Bradenton should visit Cox Chevrolet, home of one of the widest selections of new and pre-owned vehicles in Florida. While we’ve long known that Chevrolet makes some of the best, most affordable vehicles in their respective classes, the 2008 Equinox has received praise by Forbes, making their list of “Best Used Cars for the Money.”

Let’s take a look at what makes this compact SUV a solid pre-owned vehicle choice.

The Equinox Offers Power, Comfort, and Affordability

2008 Chevy Equinox

Despite making that Forbes list, the 2008 Chevy Equinox was an excellent auto when it debuted, and it has only maintained that reputation as a pre-owned vehicle.

Drivers can choose between a 3.4L V6 engine capable of 185 hp or a 3.6L V6 that can get up to 264 hp, but there’s more going on here than what’s under the hood. You’ll get comfort in the form of a sliding rear seat that can increase legroom or cargo space as you need it. The base engine will net drivers savings at the pump too, as this used Equinox can achieve 24 mpg on the highway.

Features include a center console with an industrial-looking design and large clear gauges with faux-aluminum accents. Drivers of the LT level trim will get imitation wood for an extra touch of class. There’s also a movable rear shelf to store cargo, provide a security cover for your storage area, or serve as a picnic table. Versatile doesn’t even begin to describe the Equinox.

It’s also an incredibly safe vehicle, earning excellent scores in crash testing by the NHTSA and IIHS, with the highest ratings both have to offer. These ratings likely come from the anti-lock disc brakes, stability and traction control, and OnStar that were made standard with the 2008 model year.
