My Blazer is a 1997 model but it is still reliable and very comfortable for long trips as well as short trips around town. It is a 6 cylinder vehicle that uses regular gas and has good mileage both in town and on trips. This is a smaller version of the more recent Chevy Trailblazer and it has held up quite well over time. Having the smaller profile, good gas mileage and still all the space and versatility of a SUV makes this vehicle an especially valued one.
