It is good in snow and it will get you unstuck if you put it into four wheel drive
It is a car I have always wanted. The transmission is not very good for this model. I have had to have it changed twice.

No, I don't want to sell it to you!
I've owed my Chevy Blazer for 15 years and I love it. It fits me in every way - physically; my personality; my needs. Sometimes I wish it was 4 door instead 2 door. Other than that, I'm happy with it.

That it is very comfortable to drive and it is roomy.
I love the Chevy Blazer. It is comfortable to drive. There is room for large loads of lumber or groceries.

Paid for and easy to maintain and drive..gas mileage is really good
I love the 4 wheel drive and the gas mileage..drives well..Low mileage..no complaints as of yet
accountCircle Ray W
Is not that bad on gas and road like a car.
I've never really had any problems with my vehicle. I love everything about my Chevy blazer. It's been a very dependable ride, it's always rode smooth and with the 4.3 vortec motor had plenty of power. The 4wd has always worked and got me out of some rough places. The off road package is second to none.

Drivable but not a mess on the monitoring.
The main was lost and the second key makes the driver seat moving to the original position. The brake warning lights on the board are on. The FM radio does not work and the washer fluid disappears. The handling is not tight and the car bounces. The gas monitor and the speedometer are off.
accountCircle Kara H
Not the most reliable of vehicles.
It has the worst gas mileage. If you are short the seats do not move up far enough in a comfortable position so you have to deal with a sore back if you drive on long car trips. I travel a lot and this is so unreliable I get so nervous driving my blazer where I need to go.
accountCircle Harley K
It sit high so it's easy to see the road.
Bad gas mileage poor performance it's loud it's big tires are hard to find the transmission leaks the brakes need replaced more often than normal.
accountCircle April D
It has sensors that tell me if an object is too close.
I like that its mobile. It get a me from point a to point b. I like that its a Chevy. I dislike that its air doesn't work. I dislike that its a piece of junk. I like that I own it.
accountCircle Casey O
It has a lot of seats in it .
It overheats a lot have to repair it the gas tank light doesn't work have to replace that as well .
accountCircle Amanda M
It is great for snow. 4 wheel drive is a must if you live in mountains and it snows.
In the mountains, you need a 4 wheel drive vehicle when it begins to snow. For me, as long as I am able to get out and around, I approve
accountCircle Tra S
There's a lot of small storage spots that are very useful.
It's pretty good on gas. When gas is cheap it usually takes 20-25 dollars to fill the tank up. When the truck is up to date on mechanics, its reliable, until then, it's a hassle of a car. When it comes to the seating it's decent, I would prefer the back seats be more angled because the are sitting at a 90 degree which isn't very comfortable for the back.
accountCircle Arlene F
It has lasted quite a long time.
It is reliable to an extent. It has high miles and I would not drive it on a long trip. A this point it is not worth putting more money into it.

Comfortable, rides well. Looks good.
Runs great, was kept well, used with one owner. Chevy's are good vehicles but I don't approve of the Government Buy out so I will be trading with Ford from now on because they bailed themselves out & protected their employees as well.
