If your considering this vehicle don't listen to all the hate go for it! I almost let that change my opinion on buying mine two weeks ago and other than my vehicle not having some of the upgrades like the technology package the car is awesome. I have the panoramic sunroof with full leatherette seats. It seriously doesn't feel underpowered like many people claim. It's a comfortable ride. The only advice I would give is make sure the one you pick has all the upgrades you really want but at the end of the day I went with the one I got because it was 5k less than the fully loaded one I had been looking at and I couldn't justify 5k more for adaptive cruise control and the bose sound system. It's really spacious especially in the rear seats while being small enough for easy parking. So If your like me and want something that has all wheel drive but enough room for one child it's a solid choice.

[@ElricX]

My daughter just bought one of these. She didn't listen to anyone else including her dad lol! She loves it! If you take these at face value I think they're a great buy. If you're looking for an off-road monster or a race car you'll be disappointed.

Joe...where alot of us live this white stuff falls from the sky and when the snow gets high you sometimes get stuck and to get unstuck you MUST turn OFF the traction control to get momentum.

I agree. On an LT with rubber steering wheel, the basic driver info screen is disappointing. You look at this stuff every day and it really diminishes the experience. I don’t like 3 cyl but if you compare power to the competition with the 1.3 this is not too bad.

You asked why anyone would want to turn off the traction control. Well you probably wouldn't while you are driving. But if you are parked and get stuck in deep snow, to the point where you gotta have a buddy push you, traction control hinders your ability to get unstuck. It's much easier with it off.

[@RaitisRides]

[@Princessmmviii]

I thought (I had three Chevrolet Trax) and I would have said the Trailblazer is an Equinox with a couple of feet cut off its little butt. It is bigger than my Traxes were, but smaller than an Equinox. Some days I miss the smaller Trax and I may go back to it, but I really love my trailblazer. I had three Azteks and when they stopped making them I KEPT the last one for nine years and a lady came on to I-40 the wrong way one night just west of Amarillo and she TOTALLY KILLED MY 2004 AZTEK. I never really liked the SMALL sunroof of the Trax. I had two diesel VW Jetta Sportwagens and then got a TRAX. I still have not forgiven the 9th District COURT for their DESTRUCTION OF THE VW Jetta Sportwagen. IT WAS A WONDERFUL CAR...and the recall of them was TOTALLY UNNECESSARY I loved mine. I really didn't care about CALIFORNIA and their stupid narrow-minded air problem that is ONLY IN LA!!! And I have been all over CA and only LA has an inversion and problem with cars. THE WHOLE USA has had to suffer because of NOT CALIFORNIA but LA AND THE 9th District Court. THE WESTERN SCOTUS!!!!! Mine was a solid Metalic gray and I didn't like the two-tone.

[@redthinks7047]

As someone who could care less about engines... cause, what? I go around the city or town I'm in going 50-60kph or on highways, I could care less if it's not zooming by and it's got similar power to many compact SUVs/compact sedans - I really enjoy this car and its sister (Buick Encore GX). I can understand some would be disappointed that the TrailBlazer name isn't up to it's old early-mid 2000s name. I would get the AWD simply for the 9-speed transmission - I honestly don't know if I could trust a GM CVT at this time. I love the styling, size, etc. and I do find it weird as I was looking into the car (Canadian version) that if you get the AWD version you get a better speaker system with an amplifier + active noise cancellation vs. the FWD models. I definitely think the shark fin antenna would help however with the external styling. In Canada (I don't know about the US?) it has packages to get leather steering, adaptive cruise, colour 4.2" gauge display, etc. in the LT model for ~$1,300 CAD total. I look forward to test-driving this, I think I may be getting one of these but gotta go through the motions first. I mostly would take it camping in parks, so the boost in storage compared to my Cruze hatch would be great. Also the Trailblazer is ~9" shorter than the Cruze, same wheelbase length - what?! I also am looking forward to having the higher seating position compared to the Cruze - I'm not an old man, but I sure feel like one trying to get in and out of a sedan nowadays!

[@chrisa2223]

This has nothing to do with the old school trailblazer. People need to get over the name. It also isn’t for off road. This is the new small family car. Instead of a Cruze, this is what someone would buy. It is easier, and less cost to re use an old name, and does bring some recognition, but it doesn’t mean there is any connection with the new vehicle and what it used to be. Same with the Blazer. Same with Honda Passport, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Chrysler Pacifica.
