Toyota and is the best vehicle to ever have
It can move good and is really fast and capable of going at full speeds when on the road. The car can take a fast way to get to places. The problem is that it could stop going at full speed when reaching the light. It can take a real long time to get heat of it at time when in needs fixing

Negative Owner Reviews

accountCircle Oscar F
Very expensive vehicle - great customer service at dealerships.
It is not big enough for my family, as it is only a two door blazer, also it needs a lot of cosmetic and interior work.
accountCircle Mariah S
It could be better. It's a used car that breaks down a lot.
I like that it gets me where I need to be. I dislike that it breaks down and needs repairs constantly.
accountCircle Michael C
The safety features with side airbags.
It's really old and is garbage. I always need to repair the vehicles parts which are costly. I've had it for a while but it has always given me problems.
accountCircle Michael R
Chevrolet Blazer that is a piece of junk
It's a piece of junk. Really slow. The interior is not very nice. The windows roll down very slowly and stick a lot.
accountCircle Gale m
Air conditioning no longer works
It is a very old car, but has low mileage and runs quite good for the age... However, would love to afford a newer car.. The ac does not work anymore, but everything else runs.
accountCircle Laura S
Small backseat - even feels small for me to be putting my son in the backseat
Back seat is to small- you feel cramped up and has same mechanical issues that many complain about online. The very back is very roomy is a plus
accountCircle michael t
Very reliable and comfortable
Vehicle is reliable and comfortable. Able to use it to get to and from work. A small family fits inside
accountCircle Roxanne M
My Chevy blazer is a beautiful blue color and a lot of people admire it.
My Chevy blazer has a 4. 0 liter engine so I go through a lot of gas I have had some transmission problems. I also don't find the truck comfortable at all. My check engine light is always on and even after I get it fixed it comes right back on it has power everything even the seats and a cool sunglasses holder built in it also has a great stereo system.

Wouldn't trade it for the world
I bought my red 05 Blazer 2 years ago and I'm the third owner. I've had to fix some things (so far regular use items;nothing major).I've been a backyard mechanic for years so some wrenching here and there don't bother me. Mine has the 4.3 V6,5 speed manual and pretty much no options other than 4 wheel drive.She's so far been dependable, good on gas and fun and enjoyable to drive.This is my second 4.3;I Scrapped the1st one at320000km because of wiring problems. This one has 346000km and counting and still runs great. I love it!

That Chevy is a good manufacturing company, they make good cars
Vehicle very dependable, lost of room from kids and plenty of space to haul big items. Gas is ok. Never had a real major problem.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled John H.

Helps me move around tables and chairs and other furniture around houses, I highly suggest it to anyone that moves big projects around long distance areas. Has not fallen apart, holds steady and reliable.

likeFilled Brennon D.

Good gas mileage very comfortable hugs the road drives nice very specious. All around good car. Looks good. Steering wheel position good craft cup holders armrest the ac in it is phenomenal great for extended amount of time when taking road trips.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled John H.

Consumes gas quite fast while transporting furniture it can get slow like it cannot completely hold all of it, I don't really see any cons to my car because in my opinion I really like and rely on this vehicle.

dislikeFilled Brennon D.

Coil packs go out fast sandwiches it real quick tires where it is hard to change anything in the motor could be a little bigger but oh well nice would have been nice for leather seats. Does not have cup holders all the way to the back.

Is The 2005 Chevrolet Blazer A Good Car?

Yes, it is a little SUV that gets around and trudges through the snow very well. I can tow with it, off road, do basically everything with it.
Alex S.
Yes it is a good vehicle has not done me wrong yet luckily. Has got me to where I need to go to and from.
Matalica J.
Yes it is a fantastic car. I am not sure why you need 100 words to say yes. It is a very simple question and you want us to overthink things.
Raymond C.
Yes it still drives for me. It drives smooth yet also has four-wheel-drive and it is it’s a nice vehicle to have good on the ice
Kate V.

How Reliable Is The 2005 Chevrolet Blazer?

Yes it is reliable, the only problems are maintenance related things. Although it does burn through oil, but they may be old age.
Alex S.
Yes very reliable sense I have had it for 2 years now. . Haven't had any major problems with it.Knock on wood. Lol.
Matalica J.
It does not have wings or a turbine engine. But then it would be my batmobile. Oh, wait, I have said too much.
Raymond C.
I've never had a problem with my Chevrolet Trailblazer he never broke down on me maybe a couple tires brakes but that’s about it
Adam J.

Is The 2005 Chevrolet Blazer A Good Value?

I bought it used for 2000, I wish it was a little less because it is rusty, and there are plenty more that are cheaper and cleaner.
Alex S.
Cost 2000. Not a good value too old of a year. But it is what it is. Don't always have to coat a lot. As long as it gets you there.
Matalica J.
The cost of about $3,500. But the value is higher than that with the additions I have made to upgrade the base model.
Raymond C.
6700 That’s how much it cost it’s good value I bought it used it’s probably one is brand new it’s probably toward 27,000 but I paid $6700
