1997 Chevrolet Blazer LS 4-DR 4WD review from North America
"It's a tough, reliable Chevy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side seat lever was broken when purchased.
Wipers act weird occasionally.
General comments?
After reading a lot of reviews, I have noticed that some people have problems with having to replace all kinds of things with their engines. These are the same people who probably drive the hell out of their cars and wonder "what happened?". I also have a 94' Crown Vic with the 4.6L V8. Plenty of power, so you have to figure the stress put on a motor that is almost just as big, but in a V6. Of course things are going to go wrong if you drive like a ticked-off teenager. Anyway, all that has been done to it so far has been an oil change and it still runs great. It was funny when the mechanic said my coolant would freeze and crack the block. Well, it's seven degrees out, not counting the wind chill, and I just got back from a little play time in the snow.
