Mar 21 '05 - Updated Apr 18 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Everything except the missing head rests for the back seat and the large turn radius
Cons: No head rest for the back seat. Needs lots of room to turn around.
The Bottom Line: Good buy for someone who neither needs nor wants all the bells and whistles.

by mountainhigh Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50
May 07 '02 - Updated Sep 29 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Sporty Looking, Easy to Maneuver, Dark Tinted Privacy Windows
Cons: Nothing
The Bottom Line: Our entire family loves this Blazer for its easy maneuverability, sporty looks, and better than average gas mileage for a SUV.

We bought our 2-door 4 wheel drive 1997 Chevy Blazer new in February of 1997. It currently has 87,000 miles on it. If you are researching for a used sport utility vehicle, I am sure you are wanting to find out about the reliability,...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfortable, spacious, fast
Cons: Brakes, Transmission Hump, Right side mirror

I bought the Blazer because my Jeep Wrangler was old and I blew up it's engine. Jeep wanted to charge me about $5000 for a new motor, after telling me that it would be $2000. You can't just buy an engine, they have to MAKE you one. So, I decided I would...

Average SUV at best

by blank22
Dec 13 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Decent engine and 4x4 system
Cons: Overpriced, Cheap Interior (too much plastic),Terrible seats

This vehicle (97 model year) is/was overpriced. A family member bought one brand new in 97 for approx $25k (it was the 2door 4x4).

The interior is very insipid. I have yet to see a GM automobile that didn't have very dull looking interior.Way...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: nearly everything for the money

I purchased this car virtually new and after a short time was involved in an accident. After the accident I have had many problems with it. The most irritating of the problems was that the engine managed to overheat and warp the heads thus destroying the...

Jan 25 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Has many options
Cons: small gas tank

I have a '97 4 door LT s-10 Blazer and I love it. The leather seats are so easy to clean, since my 2 pugs travel with us and I have an infant (no spoiled milk smells.) It is sporty and the perfect size. I especially appreciate the room it has around...

My 1st good Vehicle Purchase

by MFrazell
Nov 26 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: lots of extras, insurance reasonable, comfy seats & roomy
Cons: gas mileage

I first want to start of by noting the first two vehicles I've owned. A 1986 Ford Mustang and a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am. What two hunks of junk! So, I'm sure you can imagine my delight at buying an almost brand new 4 door LE 4x4 Blazer! I haven't had the...

First SUV - Blazer

by ted_e_bear
Jan 27 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Excellent in Snow
Cons: Not as roomy as expected

My first experience of owning a SUV has been a positive one. I really like to ride up high and when there is snowy weather the convenience of just pushing a button to put it into 4-wheel drive is great. It handles very well in 4-wheel drive and I feel...

Pros: Sturdy, takes a lot of punishment, handles well and pretty, to boot!
Cons: she DOES eat the gas!!!!

Well, after living in NYC for over 15 years, I decided to head for the wilds of Maine (well, okay, Bangor, but compared to NYC, it IS the wilds!) ... and of course, I'd need a car or some sort of automobile. Not having owned a car for 15 years, I...

by Jacqlin82
Jan 29 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Handsome vehicle, POWER, so many options
Cons: I wasn't used to a vehicle quite this big, but I learned to love it.

This is one awesome sports utility vehicle! My first car was a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire. It was such a great little car, but when it came winter-time, it seemed like my little 'fire got no playing time. I live on a long back road and when my area got all...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfortable ride

I just bought this 97 blazer and so far it's a great suv. Can't really give much of an opinion cause I'm fairly new to suv's. But what I can say is that this suv is so far everything that I expected and more. It's snowing up here in the northeast and...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Nice price and perfect size
Cons: Doesn't corner as well as I would like

I realize that I'm only 21, and my true ideas are just now forming, but if someone would have told me 2 years ago that I would have bought an SUV, I would have laughed. I always kind of cringed at those people driving their expensive cars, talking on...

Pros: Great ride for all
Cons: It can be tricky to get in if you are wearing a short skirt.

I purchased a 1997 Chevy Blazer LS this past winter. I knew right away when I went to buy a new car that I wanted an SUV. I has power steering, tilt and cruise control. Bucket seats with adjustable lumbar support and powered adjustable seats.
