My 2003 Chevy Blazer has served me well for 12 years. I bought her used (one owner) in 2005 when she only had 30,000 miles on her. Since then, the only major issues I've had have been with the starter and having had to replace the water pump twice. Now, she has about 130,000 miles. She runs great and still looks good. The interior is pretty cheap, but has held up well over the years. She starts every time and uses no oil. With a 2.2 liter 4 cylinder, she is no speed demons and steep inclines can be challenging. Gas mileage is decent (around 22 miles/gallon on the highway). The back seat is fairly roomy and she can hold four to five adults comfortably. By today's standards, her styling is a little dated, but I still think she's sexy. She came standard with a CD player which is a major plus in my book. She has no USB ports, but that wasn't common in 2003. Cost of ownership has been pretty low - mostly just basic maintenance with no major issues. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the purchase. She always gets me home and has never left me stranded. P.S. She will hold a 11 foot kayak on her roof.

I like how the Chevrolet Blazer is durable, with lots of space for family and friends. I love how the back seat turns into more space for moving or other activities. The only thing I did not like is that all the neat features inside the car, like cab cubby and lights, broke and are not durable. Adjustable seat handles broke.
