Detailed review: |
This is my first new/used car in 8 years! The affordability factor forced me to consider buying a compact SUV and I test drove 4 models. The ride was poor and noisy, plus I felt packed in the car. Very uncomfortable and the vehicles had zero power. The trailblazer I purchased had only 9,500 miles and it has lots of nice features. Plus, I could afford a nearly new model. The ride is very quiet and luxurious. I can accelerate down the freeway with ease. I am a mom with 4 nearly grown kids. We are all tall people, I am 5'10' and my sons are both over 6 feet tall and they are not finished growing. The TB has plenty of space and legroom even for our large sized family. My last vehicle was a 1997 Ford Aerostar van with a 4 cylinder engine. I know it's ugly but the price was right for a loaded vehicle. The van has over 95,ooo miles and is just now starting to have minor mechanical problems. The Chevy Trailblazer was a great purchase and I got it at a great price! |
