2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LTZ review from North America
"This car does everything I need it to, and then some"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown tail light fixed under warranty.
General comments?
This has been a truly good vehicle. Smooth and responsive inline 6 has V8 performance, and then some. Towing performance is awesome, even on long steep gradients. Handling takes a bit of getting used to, if you are going through some twisty sections of road at speed. The car dives a little too much for my comfort, and although it never felt unsafe, it was a quirk. This is a big vehicle, and one should not try to have it perform like a sports car. Bose stereo is nice, good sound. OnStar is a good feature, and on this vehicle it has all the bells and whistles.
Great dashboard, seating and AC/climatre control make living with the car an easy task. Long road trips are accomplished with little if any discomfort. The leather seats are still good as new.
Buy one, but do check out the history if buying used, and ensure all those recalls are taken care of.
