Poor drivability. Engine has great top- end, but low-end power is short and has noticable dead spots. A/c performance is poor, steering very sluggish. Dashboard looks cheep. Front door armrests are too low to be of much use. Distorted windshield.

03 Trailblazer -- Great Ride

Great highway ride!!! Wintertime fuel MPG of 14-15...MPG in summer is 16 around town and 18+ on highway. Had to have a sensor in the A/C replaced within first 5000 miles...no questions - fixed - FANTASTIC. This truck replaced a 94 Toyota 4-Runner(232k miles), unless something drastic happens I will get another Trailblazer to replace this one. Only complaints are poor body seal around license plate housing on lift gate (will need to be replaced), trailblazer door emblem fell off, and wind noise from passenger side front door when on highway in cross-wind.

The transmission went out in the first 400 miles. The engine has a ticking sound dealer said it was normal with this engine.The rear window washer had a kink in the hose and was told for it to work must keep reservior must be half full.Plus other problems. Worst car I ever owned.

I own a 2003 Trailblazer. Started out great, until about a year ago when the ring and pinion gears went out. Had that replaced and now its in the shop and won't start. Thinking it has something to do with the theft deterrent system, even though I'm no thief, I'm the owner. I have put more money in this vehicle in a weeks time than what one months payment amounted up to. No wonder chevy claims to be like a rock, if you don't have them towed they seem to sit in the same spot like a rock. Will be the last I ever buy, if you don't believe me just google chevy trailblazer starting problems and see for yourself. Soon as it is up and running its getting traded for a Nissan/Toyota!

Always dreamed of the Tahoe-like vehicle,especially with four growing kids. It is nice alternative to the expensive,gas guzzling family of SUV's. Looks great,came with a lot of standards, i.e. tow hitch, full size spare tire,CD&Cassette player.Love the sound system features,the front/rear air controls, auto rear windows,easy folding seats and more importantly, roomy rear seating that "real size" adults can appreciate when going out with friends without feeling cramped.The DVD player is ‘a must’ for long trips with the kids, but does get in the way for rear viewing.Sharp looking,fun driving, graceful, practical.Perfect for a family who has outgrown the van.
