I have a 2011 Chevy Equinox with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. A few days ago, I heard a clunking noise near the front of the car ONLY when I went in reverse. I made a mental note and drove like normal. Today, I shifted into reverse again, the car made the same clunking noise and then grinder to a halt. I had to put my car in neutral and push it back. I think it might be a transmission issue, any thoughts?
Would a 2004 Toyota Corolla with a 1.8L in-line 4 engine and manual transmission (less than 70,000 miles, 1 owner) be a good car to replace the Equinox?

Almost anything is going to be a better choice than an Equinox.
A Corolla is a great choice especially with standard transmission. However that one is 20 years old. As @gew said be sure to verify the mileage (one of the few things Carfax is good for) and have a good mechanic give it a thorough inspection before purchase.
- How many miles do you have on the Chevy
- Bring it to transmission specialist
- It's pretty low mileage for an almost 20 year old car make sure everything is legit and also don't be too much it is almost 20 years old
Under 90,000 miles on the Chevy. Thanks for your help!
