So Close!
Loved my LTZ! But I think the check engine light came on at least 3 times a month... Between the dealership and my local repair shop I had many rental cars.
Lots of Problems
Already had in for service 6 times. Rear differential seized requiring entire backend to be replaced. Mileage is maliciously overstated topping out at only 14MPG. Vehicle unstable and steering to sensitive for higher speeds. Nearly flipped vehicle on interstate avoiding road debris. Interior cheap quality, seat does not go back far enough. Shifting lags. Wants to stall if vehicle sits to long or takeoff is uphill/not straight line. Tilt steering positions block instruments at all angles. Chevy has bottomed out on this model and their unaccomidating resolutions to my concerns.

Our Trailblazer
Purchaced for my wife. Gas mileage for this type of vehicle is not bad, she gets about 18.5 average, high 20.5 low 16.9. The ride and power for this SUV is great. We would recommend this to others comfortable, easy to see out of. Gives one a secure feeling. We tried out many different vehicles in this class and this was best in our opinion.
after 12 years, I don't want to sell it.
Purchased this vehichle in June 2007 with 42,000 miles on it. Since then the only repairs have been a thermostat, temperature control sensor, and a passenger window switch. Total cost of repairs is under $200 over 12 years. At 107,000 miles I installed a 2.5" lift kit, 17" wheels and mud tires. We have used it as a camping vehichle, towing toys, daily driver, family hauler etc. We live in Utah and have 4 wheeled it everywhere in the mountains and the desert. It has NEVER let us down or broken on the trails. My friends with Jeeps laughed at me when I lifted it, I laughed at them when they broke axles, had transmission issues, and I pulled them out on the harder trails. Snow has never been a problem with it at all even with street tires. At 189,000 miles it still runs strong with no problems. Gets 24 MPG highway and 14 city. Before the larger tires it was 18 city and 22 highway. I don't plan on selling until it dies. Even then I may replace the engine or transmission and keep on going. I love this little SUV, so does my wife.

Best I've Ever Had
Bought a new one in 2001 (one of the first ones on the road). Traded it in and regretted it ever since. Finally got back into a Trailblazer. I've had them all - Durango, Passport, Grand Cherokee, Land Rover. I enjoy the Trailblazer far better than any of them! Gas mileage is fine. (18.9 avg.) What do you expect from an SUV? Much better than the Durango gas hog!
