2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Pros: Smoothest ride in an SUV, beautiful interior and exterior.

Cons: Gas mileage.

Review: I was not in the market for a used SUV and had no experience with a TrailBlazer, but I found the newer SUVs in the "value" package were not meeting my expectations. I tested the TrailBlazer and was amazingly surprised at all the options (heated leather ...

Pros: Build quality, solid feel, reasonable gas mileage.

Cons: Stock radio speakers need are lacking.

Review: I traded my 2005 turbocharged Subaru Outback for the Trailblazer. The Chevy doesn't "scoot" like the Outback, but it has the room I need. Plus, it doesn't have the "dinky" feel of the Subaru. This vehicle has plenty of power with the 4.2-litre six, ...

Pros: runs very quietly, lots of "get-up-and-go", great turning radius, beautiful vehicle

Cons: bad gas mileage, Proximity of gas pedal to console,

The Bottom Line: The 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a great vehicle for a small family, or someone just looking for a great Sport Utility Vehicle.

Review: Having had a 1991 Subaru Justy as my primary mode of transportation for quite a while, it was a great opportunity to slide behind the wheel of our new 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. I knew right away that there were going to be marked differences in ...

Pros: Strong, reliable, good looks and decent build quality. Fair gas mileage.

Cons: Poor workmanship in door moldings and wiring, awkward rear entry, no hood supports

The Bottom Line: Plenty of power and comfort in a mid-size SUV. It does what it's designed to do in style and without complaint.

Review: Why buy an SUV? In September of 2005, I was in a position to change my transportation options, primarily involving how I got myself to work. Due to company cutbacks, I would have to foot the entire parking bill in downtown Portland, if I were ...

Pros: Fast, Head-turning looks, affordable, Fun to drive.

Cons: Rougher ride over bumps than a regular Trailblazer.

The Bottom Line: This truck is great for those who love sports cars and need the flexibility of an SUV for kids and hauling.

Review: This truck has caused fights in my family! My husband and I both love this truck and fight over who gets to drive it. My husband had a 2002 Trailblazer that he loved but wanted something new. We took one look at the Trailblazer SS and had to have it. ...

Pros: Highs: available options, power, appearance (black or blue), DUBS (20 in wheels)

Cons: Lows: 4 speed transmission

Review: This SUV is a sure head turner (and approving nods) when viewed by other motorist. Great vehicle and pricing is not bad especially w/ incentives. You have the ability to configure the vehicle the way you want, bare bone or options galore. I recommend ...

Pros: Power, can order just the features you want, price, towing

Cons: Jeep performs better and is more sophisticated

The Bottom Line: A good value for those seeking a quick yet functional SUV, and don't mind a few rough edges.

Review: Time was Detroit wouldn't even make a performance version of anything with more than two doors. The idea of a sport sedan just didn't compute. Even now you cannot get a Cobalt SS Supercharged in sedan form. But if you want a high-performance SUV, which ...
