2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LS review from North America

I purchased this vehicle 1 month ago. The only problems noted so far is an electrical short somewhere that disabled all of the window switches and power lock on the drivers door. The power mirror switch still works (?). The radio get very, very hot, but no problems (yet). The paint has cracked off of the radio knobs. I wish it had more storage on the console for sunglasses instead of 3 cup holders (?).

I love this vehicle. I sold my Grand Cherokee the minute after I test drove the Trailblazer. The ride is awesome- very smooth, more powerful (275hp) and solid feel. The interior is nice and not too cluttered. The seats are far more superior than the Jeep or Explorer. I have the LS version fewer bells and whistles (no outside thermometer, no trip computer, no sunglasses storage, no overhead console, a lever-sliding switch vs digital pushbutton controls on AC, and no sunroof: all which I can live without. It feels like much more room (leg, storage and seat) than the Cherokee or Explorer. Lots of power accessories and outlets (front, middle and rear).
