2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LTZ 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Review
Comfortable vehicle to drive. After 28,000 miles, we have noticed a few squeaks and rattles inside. There has also been a noticable loss of power from the engine. The front end also feels loose especially on rough pavement. Cargo room is good. Mileage isn't too bad for the class of vehicle. 14mpg city, 20 - 22 highway.
Favorite Features
Heated leather seats
Suggested Improvements
Better quality in design. Squeaks and rattles are unacceptable in a $35,000+ vehicle.

Review
I purchased this vehicle with every option available. Very nice vehicle overall with alot of toys to keep everyone busy. Reasonable comfort & space. Good ride on the highway & decently quiet. V8 is smooth & actually not that bad on gas. Definately a nice step up for Chevy, though they are still needing BIG improvements in quality.
Favorite Features
V8 power. Good sounding Bose system. Northface option makes you stand out from the rest. Drivers info. center keeps you informed. Rear cargo bin in floor. Rear radio for kids. Reclining rear seats.
Suggested Improvements
QUALITY! 5spd auto w/ displacement on demand for better MPG. Rear window latch is hard to close. Underhood light. Sliding rear seat like the Equinox! Rear heat/air is worthless! More storage areas!

My 2003 Trailblazer has not had any problems whatsoever. We had a lot of snow in February and whenever I needed my four wheel drive it was quick to respond and made it through the deep snow without any problems.

Review
The ride is good, the 6-cyl has power and quickness, even in the mountains, and I have found it to handle well. There is only one usefull cup holder in the front. The cup holders in back are awkward, and cannot be used with a third person in the seat, or with any cargo. There is almost no storage behind the third seat. When the third seat is in the down position you do not have a nice smooth storage area as in the normal Blazer. Gas mileage is 14 and 19---at $ 1.75/ gal that is not good. In addition, I have been back for repairs 4 times in three months, all covered under warranty---but...

Nice ride.

The ride is smooth. However, I 've had many problems. The problems include: *skipping or hesitation upon acceleration *tail/brake lights unknowingly going out * A/C going out twice * A tick noise under the engine *The radio gets extremely hot, especially on long trips *Clicking on left turns, aloud thump during hard braking, and spilling from the gas tank after automatic shutoff.

Review
the trailblazer was the first suv we have ever purchased, we used to have a car then we moved to the country and we needed a 4x4 and the trailblazer is so reliable, it works great in the snow. the feul economy needs a little work but also we have to keep in mind that suvs do eat a lot of gas. overall i would reccomend this vehicle to anyone,trailblazers are very popular we have 6 in our neighborhood. trailblazers shouldn't get the bad review for the cheap inside look because its not a luxury vehicle its a down to earth vehice.
Favorite Features
the 6 disk cd player, the power seats, the 270hp engine, the desgn, everything
Suggested Improvements
well a little bigger gas tank would do fine but leave everthing else the way it is.
Like it more than I thought I would!

Review
We bought our Trailblazer used in December 2003 with @16,500 miles on it. It's loaded with all the toys, leather, etc. So far I've enjoyed this car even more than I thought I would. Hard to beat on long trips with the kids. Plenty of room, smooth ride. Not great gas mileage around town, but can get @20 miles per gallon on highway.
Favorite Features
Plenty of room and comfort.
Suggested Improvements
Improve gas mileage without sacrificing power.
