2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LS review from North America
"Nice Affordable Smoothe Riding SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My rear defrost cable became unhooked-took it in and they soldered it back for free under warranty work.
My radio gets really hot while playing a CD.
General comments?
I would say that I will NEVER own another Ford. I had a 1998 Eddie Bauer Explorer loaded to the top. No matter how luxurious they made the inside, it did not mask the fact that it rode like a rough truck.
The seats are roomy and are not made for the skinny minney drivers.
The ride in my trailblazer is like that of a car, not a truck.
The suspension is great on it.
The cornering is amazing-and I have tested its limits. If these were really top heavy, it would have been flipped by now.
I had a V8 in my Explorer, and was scared going to a V6, but it has ample power.
I am getting 14 miles to the gallon, so you can tell I use the power when needed.
I was afraid of getting another vehicle with all the bells and whistles as my Explorer nickel and dimed me to death with them. So I opted for the LS. It has power windows and door locks with a CD player and that's it.
I would definetely buy another one. Maybe next time if things are still going well with it, I will opt for the LTZ package.
