Use the test drive to answer a specific question
If your regular driving includes longer stretches of highway, check seat support, sight lines and how easily you can use the controls. For town driving, check step-in height and rear visibility. Bring the person who normally rides in the back or the gear you need to fit so you can check both before deciding.
- Equinox and Traverse: compare how much usable cargo room is left after you seat your usual passengers.
- Colorado and Silverado 1500: check bed access, parking fit and the actual truck’s equipment if you carry tools or tow.
Compare used and CarBravo choices
Look through used vehicles alongside new inventory. Check the condition, maintenance history, tire wear and equipment on each used vehicle. If a CarBravo vehicle is on the list, ask what coverage applies to that VIN and review the written terms.
