Here Are Our 5 Favorite Used Chevy Models

If you’re in the market for a pre-owned vehicle that will bring you years of problem-free driving enjoyment, we recommend heading down to our own Coyle Chevy GMC; your . Within the diverse Chevrolet model lineup at our dealership, there’s a vehicle for every buyer’s taste and budget, from subcompact hatchbacks to massive, heavy-duty pickups. But this still leaves us with one nagging question: which vehicle is right for you?

As diverse as Chevy’s lineup of cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs might be, they all have a few things in common: they’re safe, reliable, and fun to drive. Reliability means fewer unexpected repairs and less lost time driving to and from the service center. Chevy offers years of experience building some of the most reliable cars on the road today.

In this age of environmental stewardship, it’s good to know that Chevy is constantly shrinking its engines of excess bulk while finding ways to increase output. It’s not uncommon to find a V6 engine under the hood of a full-size pickup that can tow just as impressively as it sips gas. The common thread is innovation, and Chevrolet vehicles are full of it in every category.

If it’s been a while since you’ve checked out the Chevy lineup, now is the perfect time, especially if you’re seeking a high-quality used car. Here are our five favorites.

#1 The Iconic Chevy Suburban

Sometimes big just won’t do, and you need to supersize instead. If that sounds like you, it’s time to reacquaint yourself with the venerable Chevy Suburban. This beast of a people mover is designed for utility. It’s a favorite among busy families seeking carpool-ready space with room to spare for sports gear and other cargo. The Suburban doubles as a weekend errand all-star, offering bottomless cargo space for everything from sheets of drywall to rare finds at the antique store. It’s more than ready to move people, stuff, or both.

If your plans include a big – and we mean big – SUV with all the bells and whistles, add the Chevy Suburban to your list of must-see vehicles. You’ll find luxury features at the high end of the trim range that rival those found on high-end European imports. Plush leather seating and 10-speaker premium audio systems are just the beginning. How about heated and ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel for chilly winter mornings? The Suburban can be as fancy as you need it to be while still offering durability and utility.

#2 America’s Favorite Pickup, the Silverado

No full-size pickup truck shopping experience is complete without a test drive of the Silverado. The legendary Silverado pickup delivers in all the most important categories, including towing capacity and off-roading capability. Truck buyers flock to the Silverado brand because they know it’s a rig that’s designed to get the job done, no matter how much mud or payload is involved. And because these trucks are built for the long haul, it’s not unusual for buyers to hit six digits on the odometer without ever experiencing a maintenance issue.

Today’s Silverado also has a softer side for buyers that want a little comfort to go along with a hard day’s work. Look for trims like the High Country to deliver high-end infotainment and connectivity technology, as well as luxurious features, including supple leather seating and comfortable rear legroom dimensions for passengers. Buying a truck doesn’t require abandoning luxury, especially if you decide on a Silverado.

#3 Compact and Cute: the Trax

When oversized just won’t do, and your driving style is more urban city streets or long commutes, the Trax is made for you. This little subcompact crossover leads the category in nimble peppy performance, with a diminutive size designed to easily navigate congested downtowns and slip easily into tight parking spots. If you’re a commuter, you’ll love the Trax’s fuel-sipping efficiency, as well as its many infotainment features to keep you entertained. Newer models even offer smartphone connectivity, so streaming a playlist is simple.

Don’t let the size fool you, though, because the Trax offers plenty of cargo space and room for rear seat passengers. Don’t be surprised if you’re the go-to driver for weekend road trips with your buddies. The Trax offers comfortable seating for five passengers with room left over to stow your luggage. A set of the available roof rails are perfect for transporting skis and snowboards, and the Trax’s available all-wheel drive will get everyone to the base of the mountain safely and with style.

#4 The Colorado Delivers Style and Utility

We recommend the Chevy Colorado if you love the pickup body style but don’t want to commit to the bulk of a full-size truck. This just-right-sized little sibling to the Silverado offers all the utility and style of a pickup in a slightly smaller mid-size package. It’s available in a rainbow of fun exterior colors for buyers to choose from, including everything from bright orange to more subdued classic hues, like black and gray. Inside, you can add luxury and convenience features for even more driving enjoyment.

Colorado buyers can choose from a variety of powertrains and equipment configurations, too, so whether you plan to go off-roading or you tend to stick to paved roads, the Colorado is easily adaptable for your specific lifestyle needs. The Colorado is ideal for so many different buyers specifically because it’s designed for a variety of uses and sized in a way that everyday drivers will still enjoy. Sometimes a full-size pickup is just too big; if you love pickup trucks but like the feel of driving something a little less bulky, put the Colorado at the top of your list.

#5 Experience Thrilling Performance with the Camaro

The name Camaro carries a lot of street credibility. As one of the original pony cars, it’s a sports coupe with a reputation for muscle car power and pure speed. Today’s Camaros still echo the original, offering aggressive, muscular exterior styling and plenty of horsepower for track-ready thrills; however, nowadays, they offer something else: a great value. If you love sports coupes but can’t part with thousands of dollars, the Camaro lineup is worth a closer look.

Reintroduced to the Chevy lineup in 2010, the newest Camaro lineup features trims at a range of price points, including highly affordable entry options for budget buyers who still like a sports coupe driving experience. These less expensive versions are also fuel-efficient, making them a great choice for daily commuters. For some buyers, the ubiquitous crossover/SUV just won’t cut it: they want that one-with-the-road driving experience that can only be found in a sports coupe.

It’s Easy to Find the Perfect Used Chevy

These five vehicles represent just a small part of Chevy’s diverse model lineup. SUV buyers will find plenty of models and sizes to choose from, and what’s better is that each model features a range of trims across a broad spectrum of prices, so sizing up won’t break the bank. Even if you’re undecided and just getting started on stage one of the used car hunt, stopping by Coyle Chevy GMC will give you a good idea of your options.

Like a fine wine, the planet’s largest automobile manufacturer just gets better with age. If you’re buying used, consider a Chevy car, truck, van, or SUV. Whether you go with an older used model with an affordable price tag or set your sights on a like-new Certified Pre-Owned model complete with a factory warranty and free scheduled maintenance, you’re buying a vehicle that’s infused with over 100 years of automotive engineering expertise and backed by a network of dealers committed to serving all your driving needs.
