"The LTZ model is well equipped but pricey. Lots of room and storage. Plenty of power, with good gas mileage. Very comfortable to drive. Doesn't have the turning radius a Trailblazer had. This is to replace the Trailblazer which I believe was the best Chevy had put out. Passengers stated it was a very smooth ride and comfortable. 3rd row is tight for an adult but perfect for younger/smaller children. Still plenty of room behind 3rd row for groceries, etc. I would recommend for anyone needing a vehicle transport 5 or more persons."

"We bought this vehicle because I rented one to drive from Indiana to Atlanta and it was very comfortable to drive. It had plenty of power and good gas mileage for the 4 adults that were in it."

"I just got a 2013 and it is amazing for the snow, kids, and all around running. I am constantly impressed with how it handles and how much room we all have."

"Had this vehicle for 2 weeks now. We have the base front wheel drive. My wife and kids love the vehicle. We like how quite and comfortable it is. It is hard to see out the back, but we can live with that. Overall happy with it, only 2 complaints. 1) gas milage, I was not expecting an avg of 24 mpg but I would like more that 16-17 mpg. 2) It did not come with a spare tire.... 850 to add..really? I picked up all the parts including the spare for under 250 from salvage yards. come on gm you make a great vehicle and then you dont put a spare on it. We like the sliding second row, each row has an outlet. Overall happy with it, hope it lasts."

"I bought this vehicle 2 months ago after a year of searching. This is my second Chevrolet and my last. My first stayed in the shop more than it stayed on the road. This one has blind spots everywhere which is dangerous for a family vehicle. Does not get the gas mileage as stated on sticker. Can not see out of the back window when backing up. I know there is a backup camera but not always useful. Had to turn headrest around backwards to keep from hurting my neck. I called the dealership and complained about all the blind spots and they know about the bilnd spots and do not tell customers while they are test driving. So to me Chevrolet does not really care if your family is safe or not. No wonder they put so many more air bags in this vehicle."

"This car is a perfect meeting point between convience of a minivan with the styling of an SUV. The sliding 2nd row allows for an adult to have leg room when in the 3rd row. We opted for the 2nd row bucket seats so 3rd row can be easily accessed with 2 car seats in the 2nd row. Even with 3rd row in use we are able to fit a double stroller (fold flat umbrella) behind the 3rd row. I am the primary driver, although my husband likes that it is not a minivan. There is also a lot of headroom when getting in & out of the vehicle. It doesn't accelerate super fast, but I'm fine with that since I'm not a very aggressive driver and usually have little kids with me."

"It rides very nice. I use the arm rest between the seats alot. It is at a very comforable height. The seats are soft. Steering is right on, be careful not to over steer. MPG is about 19.6 most of the time. I have the DVD so there is only 1 Cd at a time. All seats work for an average adult."

"The ride is exceptionally smooth. Just be careful, you could be speeding before you know it. The variable power steering makes it easy to park and smooths out the wiggle on the open road. I really like this feature! Even at high speeds, we got over 20 miles per gallon on a recent trip. There is plenty of room for luggage or cargo or passengers and it is easy to configure the seats to meet your requirements. Controls are at your fingertips and easy to use. This is just a great ride and I am enjoying every minute of it."
