2004 Chevrolet Blazer
Summary:
SUV period
Faults:
Seats and steering wheel are wearing quite a bit.
In the winter, snow builds up underneath the SUV, putting pressure on the E-brake, resulting in my having to pull over on the side of the road numerous times, because I am driving with the brake on.
Brakes have been replaced, rear brake has a terrible design, which is a pain in the a** to get off; it has a drum system for the E-brake and disc for regular brake.
Other than the above, nothing has gone wrong the car.
General Comments:
It is a very solid feeling SUV. It doesn't have too many fancy bells and whistles, but has been fairly reliable. It is a very comfortable vehicle to drive long distance, but isn't the greatest on gas.
The 4x4 is awesome, this thing is a beast in the snow.
If you are looking for a practical SUV for a decent price, you should definitely consider the Chev Blazer.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I agree with what you say. My 2wd '97 just turned 210k miles. 2 wheel drive Blazers are far more simpler & superior, lacking only if a 4 wheel drive system is needed. Chevy got this series dialed in pretty good, with all '95-'04 Blazers being a nice ride if in good shape.
