"This car is really nice if your into the outdoors and doing stuff outside. Ive had a lot fun doing things and it climbs hills like nobodys business. I haven't done a bunch of work on mine yet it continues to get me where I want to go. The maintenance on mine isn't anymore than any 4x4 Ive had. I'm not sure on some of the other reviews when it talks about not being able to pass and one said the car shook when the brakes are pushed. When I go to pass I punch it and it flat moves. I did a K&N filter set up to mine which adds HP right out of the box. I love the S10 series trucks I had 95 at one time too."

"I have owned a 2004 Chevy Blazer now for almost 6 years. The only reason I've kept it that long is because I purchased used and have to pay it off because their trade in value is horrible. I purchased a one owner 4WD, 4 door LS with 25k miles on it. Since that time I have had to put brakes on almost every year, oil cooling lines, thermostat, upper/lower ball joints, check engine light on numerous times, electronic 4WD out, etc. I would estimate that I have averaged about $800 a year in repairs. All that with driving responsibly and getting oil changes, transmission, etc. at regularly scheduled intervals. Aside from the mechanical aspects of the vehicle; it is underpowered with 195 HP for the weight. It is actually dangerous to attempt a highway pass in the summer with the AC on as it takes forever to kick into overdrive. The body style remains unchanged for ages. It is almost impossible to tell a 2004 from a 1999. I purchased because I needed 4WD and towing and it was low mileage and inexpensive. In hindsight I would have been better off paying more money to purchase a better make and model then dumping money in year after year on it. I am paid off in about 4 months and I will be going to trade it the second the title is in my hand. Not that I expect any return value. The 2004 Chevy Blazer - You Get What You Pay For"

"I got a 2004 Blazer for my first car. I love it, except for the fact that it shakes! At a red light or any kind of stop, the car just rattles like crazy! My car engine is clean, had a tune-up, clean oil, basically runs like new. But oh my is the shaking embarassing! I've read it on a few other reviews as well. And as for gas mileage, it's okay. Gets you from A to B, but a little costly! I use this car for trips to the mountains and it's perfect for that, gas is just expensive $$$"

"There are some neat features on this vehicle that I can't find in SUV's these days. I love how the back seat folds down...so simple, one-step! And I love the clam-shell design of the tailgate, makes shopping with an arm full easy to load (you don't have to open the entire back when just the window will do). I actually think my Blazer gets pretty good gas mileage, especially in the summer. With the push-button 4x4/2x2, makes it easy to save on gas by not having to have it in 4WD all the time. I get close to 25 mpg in the summer and 22 in the winter...not bad for a SUV these days."

"So this is not the typical car that a female in her 20's would drive. I purchased the car new and I have not had one problem with this vehicle since the purchase date in March 2005. This SUV is reliable and great in the snow. The only downfall is the gas mileage, it's not so great. I would recommend this car to anyone that is not on a tight gas budget that wants a good reliable American car."

"I have had my 2004 Z 2 door 4x4 top of the line for 4 years now. Since the first week I have had little annoying problems. When the weather gets hot the car has a problem with pick up when the airconditioner is turned on. There is a pause between stepping on the gas and the transmission engaging. They have reprogrammed the chip twice and it works for about 3 weeks then starts messing up again. The dealership refused to replace the computer. They have had to replace the radiator cap 3 times in 4 years, thermastat problems."
