I've owned my Chevy Trailblazer for 10 years, and it's been incredibly reliable throughout the decade. For the past four summers, I have driven it between Vermont and Georgia with no problems. Just the expected normal wear and tear. It handles exceptionally well in the snowy north and hot, humid south. Even the time my tire blew while driving on a two-lane highway, the car kept under control.

I loved this car the minute I laid eyes on it. Yes, it was 3 years old, but looked brand new with only had 18,000 miles on it. It had been a lease car only. A beautiful blue color with silver trim over the wheel wells and along the front and back bumpers. I'd never had a moon roof before (it's a moon roof because I only open it for looking at the moon). The interior condition was pristine with like-new leather front seats and seat warmers to boot! It also has 2 auto driver positions that you can set if you have two people who drive it on a regular basis. Very handy as you don't have to keep adjusting every time you get in. It's only a 5 passenger which is too bad. But it has a pull down TV monitor in the ceiling with a CD player so on long road trips, the kids can watch any movies they bring. Believe me, that's a huge bonus! The trunk door has two openings: either just unlatch the rear window and lift it up for smaller items to put in the trunk or open the entire back which flips up. A very spacious trunk -- 4 golf bags will lie flat on the floor. It also has a retractable trunk cover for when you don't want strangers peering into the back windows to see what you're transporting.
