General Comments:

As you can see I had this car for only 50000 km, even so I had to do a lot of maintenance and spend a lot of money on it. Also, you need your own gas station.

The car is comfortable and I really liked how it looks, also it's reliable and stable when driving at 70MPH or more. But even so, I spent too much money on the car and it never was 100% OK, always had something to fix. After 2 years I decided to sell it and now I am happy with my Honda Accord.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

General Comments:

TERRIBLE AWFUL CAR. It should be illegal to manufacture a car this bad. I have nothing good to say about the 1999 Blazer other than I really like having the digital thermometer.
