After a while, pure disappointment

We purchased this vehicle used in 2011 with about 35000 miles on it. In the years we've owned it, the transmission went out (in less than two years), the fuel sensor broke (which we fixed under the recall), the oil pressure sensor broke (we fixed on our own), the led brake light in the back went out and we had to replace it for $150, the cup holder that pops out near the radio broke...plus it was the worst cup holder that was every designed because you can only hold a small can of soda or a small fountain drink in there, other wise the drink constantly spills over on the floor, the check tire pressure comes on every now and then when the tires are perfectly fine, the service tire monitor comes on a few times a month and that's annoying, especially when there's nothing wrong with it, and sometimes the traction control will take affect in the middle of summer. Also with the power seats, sometimes the seat fails to move back or forward....we finally figured out that if you hit the front of the seat hard, it will start working again. Then back to the cup holders, there are two in the front and two in the back. I already talked about the one, but the other in the front is in a horrible spot. You can only put a small soda can there and that's it. As soon as you put the vehicle in park, the gear shifter covers the spot of the cup holder. So a larger drink, you have to take out of the cup holder in order to put the car into park. The cup holders in the back were also poorly designed (they are near the floor in the middle). Any type of vibration or turn makes the drinks fall over from the holders and spill all over the floor. Don't even get me started on fuel economy. They also designed it that the jack is located underneath the middle seats....which if you have a car seat back there, you have to take the car seat out first then fold it up to get to it. should have built it in the back cargo area. The only pros about this vehicle was the power of the engine, memory seats, great cargo area, built in air compressor, and the towing. We still have this vehicle even though we are switching over to a van, but we do feel like the transmission is about to go out again.

This is a Trailblazer SS in SAAB Suit! The Performance and ability to hide in a crowd is Great! Push down on the GO PEDAL and life changes in 5.5 sec's flat. Gas Mileage is 13-15 at best, but this isn't for the faint of heart. The Seats don't hold you in the corners like an SS and that would have been an EASY fix (JCI-GM) The Cup holder in the dash was totally a waste of time and money, but SAAB Wanted that. (I wonder why) The Auto AC is a TOTAL JOKE! No feed back loop to confirm real air temp in cabin. (Duh, I guess they didn't have enough engineer's that day at GM-HVAC)

This car drives and handles well. When I bought it, it was my 4th SUV. It has been the best. I hate to part with it, just time for newer vehicle. SAAB let us down when they went out of business.
What a waste! The opposite of an intelligent build

Perfect Combination of Lux and Fun

This is our second Saab and it has proven to be as much fun as the 9-3 it's parked next to. An excellent combination of luxury (OnStar, XM radio, leather, high-intensity headlamps, Bose sound, sun roof, heated seats, rear climate control, dual-zone climate control - all standard), fun, capability (V8, easy cruising in the mountains, up to 6500 lbs towing), and support (free 1 yr. OnStar, free 36 mo. scheduled maintenance, 100,000 mile power train warranty). Don't listen to the 'expert' reviewers - some of them have not even driven it. You have to drive it to appreciate that it is performance tuned by Saab and outfitted with more luxury than it's GM cousins.
