2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT 4dr SUV (1.2L 3cyl Turbo CVT)
105 of 107 people found this review helpful
Loved it when I got it about a month ago but now I’m having trouble with the engine not working right and it makes a nocking sound when I turn it on now. When I push the gas the RPM will go up to 4 or 5 but the car will move at like 2 mph. I was coming out my driveway one day and pushed the gas and it slowly started poking into the road and I pushed the pedal harder and had it all the way to the floor since a big truck was coming and when it finally caught up I drifted out the driveway because the car took off. It does not happen all the time but it is starting to become more frequent which is very dangerous. That’s my only complaints about the car. I have 3 kids. One in a booster, and infant car seat and one who is not in a booster and they all fit great.

Bought my new TB at the end of July in 2023. I was in the market for a new vehicle, the local dealer had this one coming in within a month (at MSRP), and they were also offering 36 months at 1.9% so I pretty much had to pull the trigger. After 6 months of ownership, I feel like I can give a fair review. Pros: This vehicle hit the things I wanted more than anything else: affordable, AWD, and heated seats (Wisconsin winters are the worst!). I did some research before buying this and there was a consensus that this vehicle is too slow. With the 1.3 and 9-speed, I feel like there is plenty of "go" for driving around town. You're not going to win a drag race with this vehicle, and I would like a little more power when passing on the highway, but overall, it's better than expected. Also having moved from a half-ton pickup- I love parking this vehicle. It's crazy how small this vehicle is. It has so much room for the passengers in the front and back, but it's so easy to park in a spot with ease. The storage is great as well- the rear seats fold flat, and the coolest feature is that the passenger front seat can actually fold down too if you want to haul anything larger like some boards or a kayak. Seat height is pretty good in my opinion, as is the clearance below the vehicle. The design is great. This is such a nice-looking vehicle! The tech is also really nice! Factory speakers aren't great, but they're fine for me. Also has the Wi-Fi which would probably be worth it for a family that goes on lots of trips. Satellite radio is nice. The touchscreen is a decent size- I see they put a huge one in the 2024. Lastly, the highway MPG is amazing! I have done a few trips where if I can set the cruise I have got as high as 38 mpg in a 50-mile range. Cons: While this vehicle is affordable, I still feel like all vehicles are so overpriced right now. I was fine paying what I paid due to everything being so expensive in comparison, but I still feel like this vehicle should be like $5K less or include even more features. The radio hasn't been perfect. 99% of the time it works just fine. I've had a couple times where the radio was super glitchy and slow. I tried Un-connecting my phone and that didn't help. I essentially had to turn my car off and wait a bit for it to go back to normal. I had this happen again where I was trying to use my phone GPS on the radio, and it just would not sync up at all. The satellite radio worked just fine, but I had to look at my actual phone to utilize the GPS- not fun when you're unfamiliar with where you're driving. While these aren't huge issues, they're very annoying when you invest in a new car- wanting and expecting things to work great shouldn't be an unrealistic expectation on a car that has been out a few years already. The AWD doesn't seem great to me. I haven't really had to test it yet, but I feel like it may be a little underwhelming. This could also be due to the tires or just having that really short wheelbase. I haven't really tested the capability of it yet but have had some noticeable sliding while turning on snowy roads. I had a 2010 Ford Escape, and I never had that similar sliding. Again, this could be due to other reasons as well. I haven't been stuck in the snow yet, which is my whole reason from wanting the AWD. I just feel like my confidence in slippery driving has decreased a little with the vehicle. Most of my other cons are due to what was available to buy when I bought. Like I had mentioned, I was able to get a really good rate for financing- 1.9%. I also put enough down to keep my monthly payment below $500/month for the 36-month financing period. While the LT trim is what I wanted, it literally only had one option on it- 18" wheels. While I don't have any problem with this option (I probably would have been fine with 17's), there are other options I wish would have been available. The biggest option I would have liked to have is the blind spot monitoring. The visibility by the C-pillars isn't great, and that's coming from someone who never has passengers in the back seat. I think this tied into an option that also replaces the shifter with a leather appointed shifter as well as the steering wheel. While those sound fine, they're not huge to me. I also would have liked the parking assist sensors. The rear camera is fine, but like others have said, it's not great at night or once it's obstructed by rain or snow. I think the location is fine, but it does feel like a pretty cheap quality camera. Things I did buy: The supplied carpeted floormats are terrible. I knew living in Wisconsin I would replace them right away anyways though. I did go with WeatherTech floormats in the front and back since I have had them with a few other vehicles and thought they did a good job. For the cargo area I bought the Chevrolet brand mat that also attaches to the seat backs of the rear seat. I thought this would be nice for when the seats are folded down. They're alright. My biggest issue is you have to punch holes into the seat back to anchor the mat to it. I had one hole that was not aligned very well, so it's anchored like a 1/4" from where it is designed to be. Again, I have expectations of buying something new and buying the accessories that are made by the same company. I'm still fine with that purchase though. The other purchase I made was a security blind for the rear cargo area. I would skip this. It's really expensive for what it is. I wish it had a traditional rolling cover. This is like a laundry hamper material. Yes, it does what it says, but it just feels so cheap. The windows are also tinted enough I think you can probably just cover anything back there with a blanket if you're that concerned. Overall: Overall, this has been a great vehicle so far! I think it has a great design and lots of functional add-ons. It's a comfortable ride for the most part (could be a little smoother over those potholes) and the cabin is pretty quiet for the most part. I think there are a few little things that could use some tweaking, but it seems to be a good vehicle overall so far. I have seen some complaints about the engine. It's a little engine! I am usually driving around by myself or with my girlfriend. If I was hauling a full load of people, I do feel like that could be a lot for this small of an engine. I also wouldn't really expect this to be good to pull anything (rated at 1,000 lbs.). I would probably stick to a bike rack on the back or a couple kayaks on top at most. Most of my issues are from having a limited number of options due to chip shortages at the time my vehicle was being built. I think if you can actually get everything you want on this vehicle, it will make a difference. I will update this review if there is anything drastic that changes over the next few months/years.

Subcompact SUV? Not in my book.

2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS 4dr SUV AWD (1.3L 3cyl Turbo 9A)
38 of 39 people found this review helpful
So, I'll make this short and sweet. The new Trailblazer has gone above and beyond my expectations. I purchased and RS this past May and seem to find more and more to like about it as time goes on. I'm an old muscle car guy, and the TB is hardly that. But it has the old style accents my Camaro had. Fuel efficiency? Well for me, it is between 25-28 in the city which isn't bad at all. And as far as the ride is concerned it is what I expected smooth on the turns, stiff on the shocks, and with enough get up and go to keep me satisfied as an everyday driver. But the biggest and most salient plus, for me at least, is that this new Trailblazer does not in anyway resemble a subcompact vehicle. No cheap sheet metal veneer, not small bike like wheels. The Trailblazer is a little tank with cargo space, and I love it!

I really want to get detailed with my review because so far my owner experience has been a love/hate relationship. I have a 2023 RS and overall it's been a good vehicle so far but I'll give a list of pros and cons. PROS: Lots of space, tons of headroom for myself in the driver seat. The passengers have tons of foot and leg space in the back and cargo room is plentiful. I do not have the panoramic sunroof. The heated seats and steering wheel have to be the hottest I have ever felt. After about 5 minutes, I have to turn them down. The touch screen is responsive and has good resolution. Apple CarPlay is wireless and connects right away when you start the car. There are plenty of USB ports, cup holders, and different little storage areas. Acceleration is decent from the 1.3L, it isn't quick but it gets the job done and I've never thought it didn't have ENOUGH power. Now the CONS... SQUEAKS AND RATTLES ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY! I understand this isn't the most expensive vehicle but goodness it rattles. I've taken almost everything out of the car, checked screws, everything and it just always rattles. You have to turn the radio up so you don't hear it. The speakers are terrible, by the way. I've blown the tweeter on the passenger side and I don't turn the volume up all the way. Safety systems are annoying and not very good. The forward emergency breaking is always flashing that stupid red light at me and beeping because it thinks I'm going to hit something when nothing is near me. Mine personally has a terrible brake feel. Sometimes it feels like I can push them to the floor and I get no braking and other times I throw myself thru the windshield because it stops so hard. That could just be a problem with mine that I need to get checked. Window on the driver side has an annoying rattle when it's rolled down half way. The touch screen is good most of the time but do have times where it glitches and or restarts. I do not have the HD camera option but the standard back up camera is USELESS. It's the lowest quality camera ever and at night, it's seriously useless. FUEL ECONOMY ---- 21.6 MPG Lifetime average ---- 30 MPG Highway ---- 14 MPG City (I do lots of idling at my job and city driving) $40 to fill from empty with gas at $3.79/gallon Listen, for $30,000 or so, it's a pretty good little SUV. I'm happy it is on a lease because I'm not sure how reliable the little 1.3L Turbo is going to be but time will tell. I think if you can deal with some of the faults, it's going to do good for a small family or couple. You can load lots of items into it, I've thrown things up on the roof racks before. It does the job and overall you'll be happy. If any problems or things change, I'll update my review.

Leased this car for my daughter. With 210 miles we noticed the car making a loud, whining noise. Brought it back to the dealer. They have no idea what is wrong with the car, nor how to fix it. 9 days into owning and now we are without the car until GM engineering can inform the dealer on how to proceed. Ridiculous!

First, it's a looker inside and out. Great cargo space; fold flat passenger seat and cargo rack (antenna removable)...very useful. Much better performance than expected. The 1.3 turbo matched to the 9 speed does the job. I'm in mountainous terrain and travel highways without any issue even at higher speeds. The awd and safety features work well. Can't review the sport mode as haven't tried it yet. Ride is very comfortable.Overall handles all rough roads well but if both rear wheels catch depression at same time jostles for a second but in control.Gas mileage is great ; at 31.4 avg.A great buy overall

So surprised at the power of the Turbo. Traded in my 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport after test driving the Trailblazer. Like the ease of getting in, the very comfortable interior, and the safety features without having to pay for them. We are retired , in our 70's and this may be our last vehicle. We are getting 28 & 29 MPG in the city. Haven't taken it for a trip yet, but I bet we get 30 - 31 MPH.Very pleased for a vehicle like this that we didn't have to pay a bunch for.

i was looking for a new vehicle under $25k, no one had any make or model on their lot for me to test drive. last saturday i got lucky and found a lot that had a 2023 trailblazer, a little more than i had wanted to pay but it was a front wheel drive not awd (i dont drive in bad weather anyway and i particularly dont really like to drive at all). my hubby had no problems getting in or comfortable in the passenger seat (knee and hip problems), so we took it for a drive after figuring out how to start it (a push button). i loved driving it!!! i purchased the vehicle not even knowing about all the features (i am very basic in my needs) but it was loaded when the tech adviser kept going on what was in it. needless to say, when i got home and found out it was a 3 cylinder i was amazed with the power it had ( i travel windy mountain roads to and from work); it took the mountain at 45mpr with no problems or pushing the motor - the speed limit is 30mph. the things i love most about the trailblazer are: the visibility - large windshield, the fog lights, the roominess in the front and especially in the back seating area and what really surprised and pleased me was the dial for the volume on the radio (now if only someone would bring back the floor high beam switch), it does have volume and station controls on the steering wheel also. i ended up shutting off most of the features such as the automatic high beams, the alarm for the back seat, the lane alert (i drive in all lanes to avoid wild animals so it is annoying). dont know how it handles the snow yet since we have yet to have any this year. Just try it and you will like it for the price point.

We are very pleased with the 2023 Trailblazer. It is fun to drive, and meets all our practical needs. The turbocharger doesn't lag like some brands. It makes plenty of power for us out of its little 3 cylindrrs

So I think some people rate the Trailblazer (and other vehicles) on what it IS NOT, not on what IT IS. I am also not going to compare it to the Trailblazers of yesteryear, because this is a totally different vehicle. A little background about myself. Originally, I owned a 2021 Trailblazer RS. I really liked the vehicle but decided to sell it; not so much because of an issue with the vehicle but in an attempt to not have a monthly payment. I have come to the conclusion that if I want a dependable vehicle, I will just have to have a payment. :) Last year I ended up purchasing a 2023 Equinox, a nice and competent vehicle, but I still missed my Trailblazer. I had attempted to find a new TB, but there were no Trailblazers in the area at the time of purchase. Well, the boatload came in at the end of December 2022 and I was contacted by a dealership saying they had a TB Activ arriving in two hours. I did not think it would be possible to trade and not be way upside down, but surprisingly they offered me what I paid for the Equinox, and made me a good deal on the Trailblazer. So now, I have a 2023 Trailblazer Activ and I LOVE it! To me, the Trailblazer is a sharp-looking, fun-to-drive, unique vehicle. I have had more than one person approach me and inquire about it because it caught their eye. It is more comfortable to me than the 23 Equinox was to me although the Trailblazer is slightly smaller. I know some complain about the small armrest, but I like its size. I like having the extra pocket to put stuff that is between the cup holder and the armrest itself. If the armrest was bigger, it would not allow for the extra pocket. The door pockets are larger than some other vehicles, and there are a couple of other handy storage areas. Not huge, but handy. Do some of the interior feel a little cheap? What vehicle (in the price bracket) doesn’t have some parts that are cheap feeling? Overall though I really like the styling of the Trailblazer interior; it is very nice. I do not expect to win races with the Trailblazer. However, the speed and performance are adequate for my daily needs. I do not need to pull a large trailer, I do not need to go 0-60 mph in 3 seconds, and I do not need to haul 8 people. Yes, it is a small compact SUV. It is no secret. I am surprised honestly at how much room I have. My wife and I just took it on a round trip of about 600 miles and we were comfortable. I average 30-33 miles to the gallon depending on how much highway driving I do. Sometimes I would look down and be going 80 – 85 mph and not even realize it! Having both the RS and Activ, I do feel the Activ ride is a little better than the RS. There is supposed to be a difference in the suspension from what I read. Both are adequate though and I was not able to do a comparison one right after the other. There is some road noise, but nothing that is deafening or aggravating. My Activ is loaded with all the features I need. I love the wireless Apple Carplay. It has great safety features. Are there other competent vehicles? Sure! However, I am very happy with my Chevy Trailblazer! I recommend you check one out and if you are in the Nashville, TN area, I recommend seeing Torrie at Freeland Chevy! She was a great help! Tell her I sent you!

I bought a 2023 chevy trailblazer in the beginning of October 2022. In December the first engine blew up. In February the 2nd engine blew up. Waited 60 days and never got reimbursed for car payment or anything from GM. They're a pain to deal with and now the 2nd engine is burning oil and a cam sensor went out with only 2500 miles on this motor. DO NOT BUY!!!

I bought my Trailblazer in October of 2022. Since that time I have actually had the car in my possession for 6 total weeks the rest of the time it has been in the shop at the Dealership. The car brakes and stops no matter where you are. Can be driving 70 mph on interstate and the car stops! It is dangerous and they do not know how to fix the problem. After hiring an attorney GM acknowledged that it falls under the Lemon Law. I am out thousands; they did not make this right.

Leased a 2023 Trailblazer last summer. Noticed a rattling noise from right side interior of vehicle. Service department was unable to locate source of noise and even replaced the panel. The GM Field Engineer stated that noise was characteristic of vehicle. Unacceptable response. Never had a new vehicle with this issue.
Disappointed is an understatement.

We purchased a '23 Trailblazer RS in the Spring of 2023. I loved the sporty appearance, compact SUV style, but mostly the suggested EPA. After leaving the dealership and traveling by Interstate, I immediately noticed the windows are tempered and not laminated, therefore, road noise was present. Not a deal breaker. The fuel economy IS phenomenal. I average 34mpg and I travel 40 miles round trip to work daily, plus a lot of city commute during the day. Received lots of compliments on the sporty appearance. In November 2023, my car began acting sluggish. Check engine light came on. Computer checked - it was faulty fuel injection system. Had vehicle towed to certified service center. Had to wait 5 days to get a rental and no loaners were available. Went ahead & advised of other issues I had noticed while vehicle was in shop: Rear left brake light didn't work (located on trunk), heated seats had left white markings on seat outlining the heat strips in the driver seat (was told GM would not replace because this was cosmetic), made them aware that the brakes have always squealed. After several weeks, was told me car was ready. Picked up on Wednesday or a Thursday. Friday morning all the coolant leaked out and the vehicle overheated and stalled out on top of a busy bridge. Towed back to service center. Was told yet again, there is not a loaner available and you have to wait 5 business days to get a rental. Therefore, I was without a vehicle AGAIN for multiple days. They called on day 5ish to let me know my car had been repaired and it was ready for pickup. Since then, I have had the following issues: BRAKE LIGHT STILL DOESN'T WORK (they said they replaced the assembly) Still have the white outline of heater strips in my black cloth driver seat. Apple Carplay and Radio randomly glitch out. Sometimes, when I go to crank vehicle, brake pedal gets so firm - you can't push it down to start vehicle - after a few tries, the brake pedal releases and then you can press it down. Screeching sound occasionally on cold starts. This week - the transmission began making a whining noise (assuming it's the transmission). The backglass sprayer stopped spraying - made sure it had fluid. Service Power Steering light popped up randomly one morning and went away about 5 minutes later. Randomly, the car will flash red dot lights on windshield and make a loud warning sound as if you are about to hit someone or something - I was traveling on interstate both times this happened with no vehicle in front of me or beside me. And yes, it will frighten you because it is so loud and sudden and unexpected. Vehicle is sluggish on inclines, including multi-level parking garages. When parked on a slight incline or slope, I will place vehicle in park, set parking brake, after setting brake and releasing foot from brake pedal, car will violently rock back & forth. The exposed styrofoam in the grille is pretty noticeable and looks odd. GM never reimbursed me on my two towing expenses as promised.

I’m coming from a v8 camaro and stepped down to a 1.3L turbo 3. I honestly can say it doesn’t feel it’s lacking so much power. If you let the accelerator down easy the turbo has enough to get you up and going but not out you back into your seat. The steering is excellent in sport mode for what it is. I got the activ trim and it rides comfortably enough, which again coming from a sports car it doesn’t take much to have a softer ride. It’s not blow you away in anyone catergory but has plenty of power, turns well, lots of tech, lots of safety features and nice styling at a relatively cheap price point. I love my 2023 trailblazer!

I purchased my first SUV and it was a 2023 Chevy Trailblazer. Honestly, I am NOT too amused with it. I have had electrical, and mechanical issues with this vehicle. I am NOT happy!!! I should have stick with Honda or Nissan.. I purchased this vehicle because of the price range, but if I have to keep taking it to the dealership. I would rather trade it in. It drives good on the roads/highways. It good in weather? It is good on gas.

Purchased 23 Trailblazer right before we were expected to get a very cold snap I got a survey from Chevy asking me how the heat was I see why they sent a survey when we had our frigid temperatures and the temperature got below 20 and 10° and snow the front windshield defrost does not work it kept about six to eight inches of the windshield thawed out the rest was all ice 2000 miles on the car and the windshield wiper blades are destroyed had to pull over where I can find a spot during the snow and keep taking the ice off the windshield blades because the window could not stay hot enough finally got home let the car run for 2 hours and still could not get the windshield hot enough to melt the ice on the window my wife has a new SUV on encore we started that up once that car warmed up it was blowing hot air the Chevy Trailblazer lukewarm if you're lucky

My wife aid I were shopping for a larger SUV than this, but after we laid eyes on the Trailblazer with it's unusual features we wanted a test drive and came back so impressed that we bought it. We liked the sporty handling and well thought out design, and after owning it for a few days we're even more impressed. There's a little more road noise than larger cars but not objectionable, and the Bose radio in the technology package will drown that out. Ours also has the moon roof package, double the size of most sunroof openings. The 1.2 liter engine didn't feel sluggish, it has adequate torque to do what we wanted. If you get all-wheel drive and expect to do off road exploring then the 1.3 engine with 9-speed automatic is probably the combination for you.

I have a 2023 Chevy Trailblazer RS front wheel drive and new. Lots of noise on the highway and bumpy on normal roads. The color is the crimson red which looks real nice under the lights of a dealership but outside the appearance of color is darker and like oxblood color which to me is not to good. The 1.3 engine is fine. There is room in this car for the The interior is ok. The looks of the vehicle is decent. Since I have only had this for a short time things could change. If you ride it easy and steady you should get around 35 mpg. Theres alot of rubber like and plastic in the interior. The car is not overpriced and not underpriced. I would recommend a different color. The ad colors plus on Chevy site seem to glorify the colors they are different looking in person and not so nice looking.

I started seeing this body style around, and thought I had to get one. Purchased the 23 RS in October of 22, with several parts on back order. After a year of ownership, all the back ordered parts are installed. It’s pretty fun to drive, the size and gas mileage are great. I’ve had no mechanical issues so far. The heated seats and steering wheel get warm quickly, and the seat heat starts up when it’s remote started. The bad: It absolutely sucks in the snow. A few inches of snow on the ground and this vehicle is pulled all over the road. The speakers are so crappy, I never turn it on. It lacks proper insulation. In below zero temperatures, you’d think you left a window cracked for as much cold air that comes in through the console. Air filter doesn’t filter, I get to enjoy exhaust from surrounding vehicles, even on the interstate. The seats are not comfortable, I can handle about one hour before I'm squirming around. Road noise is loud at Highway speeds. The suspension is stiff, you feel every bump in the road. The trailblazer might be a good fit for younger couples or a good college car, but personally, I plan to trade it soon for a more comfortable ride.

Great Looking & Spacious

This is my first SUV in the last several years, but I really like it. It's very spacious for a small SUV and has a ton of headroom. It's a great looking vehicle inside and out. I especially like the front grill area on my RS model. I think it has a good amount of features in most departments, but definitely lacks in the modern safety features. Despite having the top trim model, my vehicle does not have adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, or automatic breaking while in reverse. I think all of these things should be standard in 2023. Additionally, the collision alert is very sensitive and even faulty. It typically does multiple collision alerts each time I commute, and I haven't found a way to adjust the sensitivity of it. The main display and Chevy infotainment is terrific. The audio system in the vehicle is satisfactory. The daytime running LED lights and LED fog lights are cool looking, along with the LED taillights. I only wish the headlights themselves were LED. My main complaint with the vehicle's electronics is the display of the odometer/tachometer area is highly outdated. I'm talking like 10 years behind current technology. It consists of a tiny little black and white screen with limited and unhelpful information. I cannot believe Chevy has made no effort to update this. Other than that, the vehicle drives pretty good. It's zippy and accelerates relatively quickly from stop but has very poor acceleration once you're already at speed. As other commenters have noted, the road noise of the vehicle is somewhat bad, but hasn't bothered me much. All in all, it's definitely a vehicle that I'm going to enjoy leasing but do not plan on buying it.

Worst Car I’ve Ever Owned

The seats are horrendous. Not only is it uncomfortable for me, but for all my passengers, and trust me they’ll complain about it. Uncomfortable all the way around, feeling every bump on the road. But the seats were so unbearable that even my 5 minute drive to work was a nightmare for my back. This SUV is not meant for tall people. My legs were too long and the steering wheel didn’t come out far enough. You feel like you’re on top of the next person. The inside is small and not practical. Barely any cupholders or places to put your belongings. The audio system sucks. Limited features. After the first year I ended up trading it in. The only thing I’ll give the trailblazer is that it’s a cute looking car. It also does good in the snow with AWD. I’m far more happier with my Traverse.

The new 2023 Chevy Trailblazer AWD RS is sleek and sexy on the outside with a smooth and desirable interior. The mid size SUV has amazing features including a digital dash display, Apple Car Play, Android Play, premium sound system, back-up camera, and internal Wi-Fi on the tech side. On the prefirmance side, the vehicle handles great, has 18" rims/tires, fog lights, auto Bright lghts, and power with the 1.3L Turbo. This vehicle features a 9 speed automatic transmition with the auto off feature when stopped at lights or in traffic. The interior is comfortable, sleek and modern design, incredible accents and roomy.

I've had this car for a year now. I drive a lot of highway miles, thus I just turned over 30K. I have had zero issues with anything going awry. However, I promised myself I'd never buy another black car. Guess what I did. I still don't understand why some reviewers complain about the power, I drive through WV a great deal and haven't had any issues going up and down the hills. Maybe because they are in and out of a lot of cars? It gets out of its own way just fine. I don't like the brakes -- I find them a bit touchy and grabby. Mine came with halogen headlights. That is a cheap out on Chevy's part. LEDs above and below with dim yellow light in the middle. Whatever. Highly recommend installing LEDs (hi and lo), you will be amazed at the difference in illumination (also looks way better from the front with the fogs on). Cost about 80-100 bucks and 20 minutes of your time. A cargo basket with a bag on top is a MPG killer for those with the inclination. 32 to 26 over 600 miles. I still do it if we're going to be loaded up. So, one year, 30,000 miles and nothing but oil changes and tire rotation (those tires will need replacement soon). Is my experience unique? Who knows. Has it been pleasant so far? Yes.

when we go to to the store or any of theses traffic bumps so you cant go fast , it shakes the whole car like a earth quake. At the grocery store with groceries in the back it shifts all bags all over. We put WEATHER TECH floor mats in the front and the back. factory ones didnt work out for us.

In general I like this car . My major problem encountered is in the electrical, specifically with the phone pairing. At times the on screen hookup goes haywireand ANYTHING can happen on the screen this also affects theaux port. One time i drive 5 minutes with the rear view camera on. There is also a 2 inch area of the rear window that cant be cleaned as a standard windshield squeegee doesn't fit in the area. I have been given a new radio ( and know ine has figured out i now get sirius for free by accident. Same problems. While i like the car in most other topics, i will likely trade in car before warranty expires due to screen issues and associated cost for repair after warranty period And, how do you make an upgraded car (lt) and dont even have a button for back lift gate. That's like so 20th century, dude.

Have had my 2023 RS Trailblazer for 2 months and so far I love it. The AWD turbo has all the power I need for my city and highway driving. If you are looking for a 0 to 60 i 4 seconds this is not the vehicle but if you are a normal driver it is all you will need. Totally agree with the great reviews on styling and interior comfort and convivence . The engine stop feature has taken some time in getting used to but I have become familiar with it. Remote start is fantastic. When it comes to road noise I find it acceptable but I must point out I exchanged the dealer tires for a set of Michelin Cross climate all weather tires. Living in a condo I got tired of paying twice a year for removal and storage of tires. Compared to my Tucson with normal tires this is very comparable noise wise. So far so good, will update in the spring The feature that I love the most (and didn't realize I had ) is the automatic high beamer dimmer. The first time it was used caught me off guard but it is fantastic and has worked perfectly. All cars should be equipped with this feature. Still only have 6000 KM on the vehicle but so satisfied with it. My only complaint so far is the price of add ons such as floor mats, cargo covers etc My model is pretty well equipped with almost all the feature but for some reason GM or my dealer did not install the lane change warning system or the rear traffic warning for vehicles crossing behind you while you are backing up. These features should be mandatory. As a city driver (90% of the time ) I would also like to mention my Micheline Cross Climate tires. I drove in slush, rain, snow and ice and I am very pleased with the tires.

Great price point! Only a three year warranty. Nice smaller SUV. The complaint I have is that the first year of owning the car, I had a lot of glitches with the technology. Sometimes the light indicator inside the SUV would come on and sometimes it wouldn't, key fob would work at times, and high beams had a mind of their own. Not impressed with the technology in the SUV. Very frustrating when you just bought your car. Do your research.
Great car

I haven't had any serious problems or any problems. In general, the only thing that concerns me is the low reviews. I have read personally, the vehicle runs great smooth. Has great, look, nice interior. But but if anything changes, I would definitely leave another review. But right now, vehicle is 100% running with no problems. And for those who do own This vehicle, you should definitely use 87 grade field. not premium 91 or Unleaded 85.

I am very happy with my Trailblazer RS. I didn’t have a bunch more gadgets added on and no sunroof. It came in at 34000 in Canada. Gas mileage after 1000 km is 9.8 per litres per 100 km. In the city. 8.5 per litre on the highway. I like the motor much better than the 1.5 in the equinox. It has enough room to put things in. I think for a young family starting out it is perfect and economical to run. Great car!

I test drove a trailblazer because I loved the price, the appearance, and I liked the idea of buying American. It drove well at least with the exception of the touchy brakes. The engine was strong and quiet and the driving responsive. It handled well. The trailblazer, however, couldn't compare with excellent responsiveness and superb visibility and safety features of Subaru, but where it really seemed inadequate was in the exterior and interior materials. Everything felt flimsy and the back doors didn't close smoothly. I'm not a mechanic, but my intuition was telling me "this is not made well.'
