1997 Chevrolet Suburban LX review from North America
"The best family vehicle!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that we had to have done to this car is that in the transfer case (it's four wheel drive), a snap ring broke and I (being a mechanic) was able to fix it, all that it did was rumble sometimes, so it was still drive-able.
General comments?
This is an excellent vehicle, it is very roomy and confortable, it has all the storage you'll need for normal use, plenty of cup holders, an excellent top of the line CD player that has never skipped once, and it has excellent sound quality.
There is low road noise.
This truck is also excellent in the snow or rain, you could play with this thing if you needed to, never been stuck even in northern Pennsylvania.
The air conditioning is pretty darn cold, front and back, but it seems to lose its charge in about two years.
The acceleration for a truck this size is excellent and it has plenty of power when it comes to passing going up hills, or getting there in time.
It is not a slot-car in the corners, but it does what a huge sport ute should. I really like it a lot and think that it is the best family vehicle.
