Pros: Smooth ride, seating capacity, fuel tank, safety
Cons: trips to the dealer
I purchased this vehicle for my wife and, at the time, 2 children (now 3)in 1997. I was 26 years old and had only owned foreign cars. I have to say this is the greatest vehicle on the road for traveling, shopping, or just pooling kids around. The gas...

Pros: Space-comfort-large gas tank
Cons: Brakes-Brakes-Brakes
The Suburban has a lot of good qualities, the 42 gallon gas tank was great, not having to worry about fill ups
on long trips, the space was great and comfort was exceptional.
However we traded this vehicle in after only putting 34,000 miles on...

Pros: Roomy with 4 doors, smooth ride
Cons: eats the gas
There are now 6 people in our family. My husband and I are big people and the Suburban was the most comfortable to drive. We had room in the Suburban, but not in a mini-van. Yes, it has a big tank and it eats up a little more gas than the average car,...

Pros: Great Car all around
Cons: Very large, hard to park
This one really tops the charts of all SUV'S. This car is one of the best Chevrolet vehicles made. The standard, 3 row V8 vortec engine has the most pick-up i have even felt. The Lincoln Navigator does not even have this kinda' pick up. You...

Pros: Safety, Comfort, Lots of Room, Great Vehicle for Towing
Cons: Reliability, Gas mileage, Parking
The Bottom Line: Buy a newer model; GM has worked the bugs out. We've had more problems with this vehicle than any other--had to replace the rear differential at 65,000 miles--that's unacceptable.
I purchased a 1997 Suburban for my wife and two young kids right after my Dad was killed in an automobile accident in June 1997. A large truck swerved across the centerline of a two lane highway on a rainy, low visibility day to avoid hitting an RV...

Pros: all and all a great SUV
Cons: parking
This SUV may look like an over kill but it is not. This SUV is very comfortable and has a great ride. The gas mileage is good as well. The Suburban also has good handling for its size. This is also a great family car. It belts 6 with shoulder belts...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: interior comfort, strong motor, good looks, size, versatility
Cons: gas mileage in city, maneuverability, reliability
Over the last 3 years I have had a chance to get familiar with the 1997 Suburban. I like most of the things about it especially the interior comfort and the venerable 350 V8. It comes with plenty of power to move the giant down the road, and even to...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Size, versatility, resale value, comfort
Cons: Cost, handling, parking, gas mileage
The first thing you notice about the new Suburban is its size. It's big. It's very big. Okay, it's huge. But if you've got teenagers in soccer and drama class like we do, it's the perfect vehicle. I went with the 2 wheel drive version. It's fully...

Pros: Roomy, rides well, dependable
Cons: big gas tank!
I have been a Chevy man since my first 4x4, but I fell in love with my Suburban on the first test drive. I was needing a vehicle that I could hunt in, but also big enough to take my friends out in. The Chevy Suburban was the perfect vehicle.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Big, safe, looks nice, gets through snow and ice with no problem.
Cons: gas mileage, does not actually brake very well.
The Bottom Line: I like it very much. Buy, but first check to make sure some of the regular problems have been already replaced as they are very costly ones.
I purchased my Suburban practically new late in 1997 from a guy who had purchased it off the lot for his wife and many children. They didn't like it because it isn't easy to regularly get the kids in and out of the third seat. I use the third seat on ...

Pros: LOTS
Cons: not much
I know the first two words that are going to come out of MY kids' mouths...CHEVROLET SUBURBAN-- cuz I will be ranting and raving about it ALL the time. The Suburban is BY far the best deal on the road. If you need space...the Suburban's got it. If you...

Pros: amazing comfort, stereo, and power
Cons: expensive, gas hog
I'm a sports car guy. I like low, wide, and whiplash when I touch the accelerator. As much as I generally dislike the SUV trend, our Suburban is easily the nicest car we own, and MAN is it nice! Though it obviously lacks in the touring area compared to...

Pros: Big, Lots of Room, Safe, Reliable
Cons: Bigger Vehicle: parking, wide turns, etc.
The Bottom Line: If you need to carry alot of cargo/people, and you can afford it, this is your best option.
We bought a 1997 Chevrolet Suburban right at the beginning of the year. We have 56,000 miles on it and we have rarely taken it in to be fixed. It is an extremely reliable vehicle. Parking is a problem in the beginning but after a while you just get...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy, low depreciation, low maintenance.
Cons: Initial Cost
The Chevy Suburban definitely has the most room of any of the Sport Utilities available. A recent cross country trip with four adults and 2 teenage children proved this point dramatically as no one felt crowded in addition to ample space for gear and...
