I love how big my car is, I cannot stress that enough! Three kids all I car seats plus my husband and myself and we all fit with room. Perfect for those with a family who just aren't ready to jump into the van mom life. It surprised me to see that it actually is a huge gas hog, like others of its size. Does not lack in power, yet drives smooth. We feel very safe in the car, it has a nice strong, stable build to it. It is a sexy car, the body and the curves of it make it stand out and to be appreciated. But like any GM made car there is a list of repairs that are always needed. I have owned the car 1 year, placed 7k miles on it and well 2,000 in to repairs and then extra cost for upkeep like tune up, oil changes. The lines, (oil, trans, power steering) all of them had to be replaced because they broke Fan clutch broke left me and the kids stranded in 90 degree weather for 2 hours. Water pump gone. Brakes replaced. This is my 4th GM car and my Grandpa worked at GM until he died, but I am really starting to question their cars.

This vehicle has done a lot for me and my family. I have had this truck for about 4 years now. We have been on many trips across states. To Michigan and Florida from TN multiples times. I do the work on it myself and its holding up pretty well. We have the third row seating which is good for long trips having kids in the back as well as luggage. Car runs very well never gave me any major problems.

The Chevy Trailblazer EXT is a good midsize SUV that drives like a car but has the room and height of an SUV.
