good in 4 wheel drive/bad weather

Interior noise is very bad. Shakes and rattles all the time.

Has been an alright suv. Now after 10 years we are having problems with the transmission. Have had the 4 wheel drive motor replaced once. Other small problems. It has a very noisey interior. I would not buy another blazer. This is our 3rd and last blazer.

Room, even in the 2-door model; comfort; reliability

rear-mounted spare tire gets tedious to open every time you put something in the back, parking brake used to stick (fixed now)

I LOVE my Blazer. It is extremely reliable, sure-footed and fun to drive. Mileage not great, but to be expected for an SUV, especially a 4-wheel drive. I haul our boat with it, great as a tow vehicle. It is roomy and comfortable. I have the motorized seat adjustment. I thought that was over-the-top when I bought Blazer 5+ years ago, but it makes it an exact for the driver.

No major problems, strong engine, ample cargo room, easy hauling and smooth ride. Perfect for a single person or couple who likes to road trip and camp.

Little things: hatch back, flex fuel line, power window on R. side went out. All in all not bad, with preventitive maintence and repairs I have spent less then 2k

I've had my Blazer since 03, it's been a great lil SUV.

Cadalidic converter was messed up
Transmisson went out at 82,000 miles
Poor gas mileage goin down hill with the wind behind you

To be honest the only thing that it was good for was hauling friends around and hauling stuff when we moved. Other then that it was a piece of JUNK!

good engine,great 4x4,can't feel our boat behind it

i love the blazers. i had a 93 for a long time that never did me wrong until i totaled it when i hit a deer. i would recomend a blazer to every one and deffinetly buy anther one.

everything

none

Purchased at 164,000 and now it has 301,000 plus and still going strong. I love my 89 Blazer. It pulls my two horse trailer carrying one horse great. A little slow going up a steep hill and that is to be expected. Other than that it has been a great vehicle. Did rebuild the transmission a few years ago. I'm getting ready to purchase a 98 LS Blazer with 47,000. I'm reading all the reviews I can find on the web. It's a real mixed bag. I am counting on this next Blazer to be a charm like my 89.

Torquey engine, refined ride and handling, cool storage compartments, lumbar support

See above! Reliability, reliability, reliability!

This was definitely a love/ hate relationship. I loved the ride, the seating position and comfort, the torquey power from the 4.3 V6, and *in particular* the lumbar support. That was the first time I owned a vehicle with that feature. Great to relax the lower back after a stressful day at work.
Nice seating aside, it didn't relieve the stress of being stranded, overheated, in a church parking lot with 38,000 miles. come to find out, some 4 door Blazers from that year seemed to have this problem of untraceable electrolysis in the cooling system. In layman's terms, the coolant turned to chalk. I was told later that a mechanic stuck a screwdriver into the open radiator cap, and it stood straight up in the goo. The entire cooling system had to be replaced. Only things that were flushed rather than replaced were the radiator, and of course the water jackets in the engine block.
Since it was out of factory warranty, did the General help? No, indeed. I had purchased an extended warranty through the dealer, and they didn't want to cover it, due to "contamination." (of coolant designed to be left alone for 150,000 miles!) I was staring $3,692 in the face. I knew the dealer from church, so he twisted the arm of the warranty company, and I only paid $200.
After that repair, everything seemed to go downhill. Something about having the dash pulled to replace the heater core and associated plumbing seemed to mess it up. The lights stopped blinking when keyless was used, A/C started blowing weak, wiper motor started malfunctioning, etc, etc. Just a litany of small things. I finally traded it, taking a serious loss that I carried into my next vehicle, simply because I felt that I could not trust it.

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET!!

4X4 in the snow is great! almost Always started! Comfy seats.

Integrity of the parts and things broke very often. Tires are expensive for this vechile. Gas milage very poor.

This SUV and I had a love relationship that after 2 years turned to love hate. I still loved the vechile but began to hate all the work it needed starting at about 50,000. That doesn't seem like many miles for a car to start falling apart. I finally sold it at 70,000 miles because of the laundry list of work it needed. It is a great SUV to drive and awesome in the snow but, not good enough to keep with all the problems it had:
ball joints
gas leak
fuel gague broke (at very low miles, around 40,000)
front and rear difs leaking
rear main seal
cv boots
various oil leaks
something related to battery (relay switch= wouldn't start)
check engine light came on about 20 times and no mechanic could ever figure out why, something to do with emissions
alternator
Horrible resale value
Horrible integrity of trim (flaking...)
Some interior plastic pieces inside (handles) just broke off with little or no force.......
Those are just the main things. So, yeah its a great beefy truck in a small package but, be careful when purchasing this vechile!!
