Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Under the hood
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Room inside
Being a car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the C7 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
