Pretty good for a first car...

Pros — lots of room, solid
Cons — 20 mpg... not too bad, but could be better

We bought it 1 or 2 yrs. used green paint. leather interior, fully loaded. Worth nothing now we got 2000 for it with trade in for 2008 caddy CTS DI. they sent it off for scrap metal.

Pros — take it almost anywhere
Cons — had to fill it up with gas about 100 times a day!

My ride for most of my college years, this was one of those "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" situations. I wasn't too terribly impressed with the gas mileage, but I do tend to push my rides quite a bit. With this ride I discovered just what POS's the Sony Xplod line of stereos are, and that I'll never trust a car stereo shop's work again (they left the 4wd controls disconnected). It was a comfortable ride, though, and served us well for the few years we had it.

Pros — Comfortable and spacious
Cons — Pretty poor gas mileage on the V6, granted I did drive the thing pretty hard. Trunk space couldn't properly fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood or drywall.

i am very happy with my blazer. although, i don't like the o2 censors and all of the electronicks. its fun to drive, small enough that i can park in compact parking spots.easy to drive and stylish. it also seems to run for ever if you keep it up

Pros — size, looks drivability
Cons — electronics.

I purchased new the 97 LT, 2wd, 4.3 engine.  I have 135000 miles and plan on keeping it for 3 more years.  I have been lucky and purchased one of the most relable vehicles I owned. (Come-on don't choke) I read a few blogs and some have not had the luck I have had.  I started using Lucas oil with my oil changes.
These are the repairs I have made
Brakes (fronts twice)
Tires (at 80K miles)
Water Pump
Master Cylinder
Water Hoses
Alternator
Battery
Fuel Filter
Serpinten Belt
I do my own work on the car; however, I follow the maintance manual recommendations provided by GM.  I drive the car, however, I don't beat it up.
For California Smog I slap in a new Air Filter and Platum Plugs - and I pass. I drive mostly freeway miles in SoCal.  I don't live in the mountains, Snow, or where there are dirt roads and hills to climb to beat up the undercarrage.
Handling can be a little wishy washy and not percise and nymble like a sports car.  You really need to hang on (concentrate) if you want to drive agressive in curvy areas.  Straight line does not prove me as much confidence as I would like for I like a vehicle that is firmly planted.  The Blazer is a family cruser, not a road warrior.
I would purchase it again.  It is a nice vehicle.
