Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
The power under the hood. The height of the vehicle. Comfort of the cloth seating. Easy access to all buttons. The braking. The design looks mean .

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
The boat like feeling while going over bumps. The gas mileage. The steering wheel needs more padding . 3rd row seat would be nice . If you can't afford the rain guards all the water runs down on your lap when the window is open while braking. The rear wiper makes a loud banging noise when it parks .

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
Driving my 2005 Chevy Trailblazer LS is like going from night to day , comparing driving the vehicles iIve had in the past . There's hardly any if any road noise , a quiet engine , powerful 275 horsepower straight 6 engine . Showed my truck to co-workers and they were amazed on how Chevy has the inline 6 again and so was I . And with OnStar was a huge plus I will have that option when it expires in 2006 . It comes one year free , with also 30 minutes of phone useage also . It's very fun to drive and can accelerate quickly when needed . Down side even though you get use to it , it has a feeling of as if you're on a boat sometimes . That's my only complaint and also the gas mileage .

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Strong engine (V8 5.3L)for its size for towing or cargo. Roomy interior. The dual climate controls are excellent

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Front seats definitely need to be more confortable. Too much wind noise. Interior looks a little cheap, needs more upgrades

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
I love this SUV, and the looks and performance on the V8 engine. It's roomy. A perfect vehicle for family trips or vacations, and well designed.

I do like the interior. The navigation system is great to have. The stereo with the Bose is nice, it sounds very good..

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Gas mileage!

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
I bought this just before the $3.00 gas rush. I am sorry to say it's a nice SUV, but around town it's horrible. 8 miles to a gallon and it's killing me already. Thank God I bought it with a GMAC Smart Buy because I am most definitely going to give it back on the 36th month. That's unless gas should ever happen to go below a buck a gallon!

Better mileage.

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
Great on family trips. Plenty of room for people, pets, baggage. GPS wonderful addition. Throw your maps away! Enjoy the scenery while you drive. Gas mileage of 22-25 on highway. 17 in town.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Easy-Out-Seat feature helps shorter drivers get in and out while still being able to sit high while driving. My dream come true!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Better gas mileage, of course. But small things, like overhead sunglass compartment or a bigger cell phone cubby would be nice. Maybe deeper cupholders too.

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
If you don't drive a lot of miles, the low MPG won't make too much difference. (This was actually cheaper for me to lease than a less expensive vehicle because of special GM rebates, even with the high gas prices.) Comfortable ride and lots of options and cool little features with the Info Center! The wind noise is noticeable, but the nice sound system will make you forget about it. Drives more like a car than a truck. Has lots of room for people and stuff. The dash controls have more knobs than buttons, so you can turn to your choice directly, instead of pushing a button 10 times to get there. Subtle, but nice. Overall, a great car/truck.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Handsfree and voice activated cell phone, unfortunately minutes are to expensive. Comfortable seating. 4x4 for northeast winters.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Better gas mileage, overhead sunglass compartment, dual trip odometer, and rear door cupholder for kids, coin holder, easier access to oil filter (unbelievably difficult to access w/another special tool...)

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
Very comfortable ride. Very noticable exterior noise, low gas mileage (don't believe the sticker MPG for city and highway). I get 12-16 MPG. I should have spent the extra grand and got the EXT version. Not much truck room for visits to the grocery or building supply store and carrying young family of 4. GM should consider developing a plug on your stereo for your cellphone to be used with your radio speakers.
