I LOVE MY TRAILBLAZER. I ENJOY THE SIZE THE MOST. IT IS NOT BIG AND BULKY, YET IT COMFORTABLY SEATS MY ENTIRE FAMILY. I LIKE THE FACT THAT THE BACK SEATS FOLD DOWN SO THAT I CAN FIT MY GROCERIES AND LARGE ITEMS IN THE BACK. ALSO, I AM ABLE TO MOUNT AND DISMOUNT OUT OF THE VEHICLE EASILY. I MOVED FROM THE WEST COAST TO THE EAST COAST. NOT ONLY DOES IT DRIVE WELL IN THE SAND AND HOT TERRAIN OF THE DESERT, BUT IT DRIVES EXCEPTIONALLY WELL IN THE SNOW AND ICE ON THE EAST COAST. I FEEL VERY SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT IS PRETTY GOOD ON GAS AND I HAVE HAD NO MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASING IT OVER 5 YEARS AGO. OVERALL, I AM VERY WITH THE VEHICLE AND WOULD RECOMMEND THE MAKE AND MODEL TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
