Pros

Fast grocery getter

Cons

gas mileage

55

Love My Tbss — I love my TBSS, the ride, the handling, the appearance... I have been happy with all of it. The gas mileage is not that great but not bad for V8 SUV that is as fast as it is. Always fun to pull up beside a car that does not know what it is and blow by it. I have gone thru a lot of cars and this one I have kept the longest and have been the happiest with.

It's big.

Cons

Gas expense, engine light won't turn off, acceleration.

55

My Stupid Trailblazer. — Eh, not a fan of it. It's a ridiculously huge vehicle. The sound system is nice though. It takes forever to accelerate, but the brakes are good. :P It's an SUV so obviously its a gas guzzler, with around 15mpg.

Sick. — best purchase ever. i got a steal on this truck. it only had 18K on it when i bought it used. Great buy would recommend to anyone who needs room and also the power that comes with the corvette motor. it has 400 hp and 400 lbs. of torque. this is one of the best suvs out on the market right now.

Loves the sunroof.

Not wide enough.  Not enough leg room in the back.

I Love My Truck. I Wished It Was A Little Wider On The Interior. — Car has a lot of acceleration speed. There is an addition performance chip. If a new exhaust and air intake system is placed on the vehicle - it has great speed. The trailblazer is good on gas - I specifically use it for driving the hilly areas of Pennsylvania. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that wants style for an economic price.

Pros

A rarity in the market of performance sport SUVs. With some mechanical aptitude, this vehicle is very fun to own and drive daily. You can smoke just about everyone off the line! A large online community of owners will help anyone maintain these vehicles with very little out of pocket expense.

Cons

Nickel and dime maintenance repairs required; modification from stock components is a necessity. Careful attention to engine, transmission, gear oils needed. Best case gas mileage is 17 on the highway.

A Really Unique Head-turner — The 2006 Superior Blue model is a 1-year production. You will not find many of these on the road, so people notice the uniqueness of the ride. Comes stock with 20" rims, air ride suspension, and AWD option makes this vehicle feel like you are driving a fighter jet and riding on rails around the corners!

Nice — the ride could be smoother due to the fact it sits up higher but this is my first SUV. I really dont like the color of my car either, but i get alot of compliments on it becuase they like the 2 tone colors.

Sounds good, looks good, can have 5 people in it

Cons

if you dont need something to tow

Love The Truck — Sounds good, hauls very well, but needs the LS2 from the TBSS ;) Pulls trailer very easily and its got just about 300HP. Need an exhaust, short ram intake and a throttle body spacer to make it have a little more punch.

4x4, pretty good on gas

Trailblazer — Handles great in the snow and muck. Most times you don't even need the 4x4. When you do it gets you unstuck in a hurry. Pretty good on gas but we should've ponied up a little more cash and gotten a Suburban. With a kid, a dog, all the crap it makes road trips really tight! Thank goodness for roof top carries

Idk What This Is So Im Just Going To Type Something Random. — what i love most about my car is how fast it is and how sexy it looks.. 390 hp that will whip the passengers neck back.. soooo niiiiceeeee mmmmmmm. I use to have a saab 93 which was also quick.. but nothing compared to the ss. also the look of the ss is very sexy i have black headlight and tail light covers so its completely black and i covered the chevy symbol on the front so the whole front grill is black
