The TrailBlazer’s strong point is its comfortable, roomy and relatively well-equipped cabin, but that can’t make up for sub-par handling and cheap interior materials. For a smoother ride and higher fuel economy, consider crossovers such as the Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Flex or Mazda CX-7.
The 2009 Trailblazer continues to fall short of top competitors in reliability, interior materials and — unless you’re talking about the powerful SS model — performance. “After factoring in the inevitable incentives that accompany the TrailBlazer, it has a decent amount of equipment and is somewhat of a good value, but the interior and the driving experience place it at the bottom of its class,” says Car and Driver. “The SS model transcends its plebeian roots, however, and will provide some serious acceleration, handling, and grins.” Due to poor sales and plant closings, the TrailBlazer is expected to be discontinued after this model year.
Be sure to check for current Chevrolet Deals that may be available on a new TrailBlazer. Also note that Chevy’s parent company, General Motors, is giving consumers a great incentive by taking the risk out of buying. The automaker’s 60-day money-back guarantee allows buyers of 2009 and 2010 vehicles to return them between 31 and 60 days of purchase — just as long as there are less than 4,000 miles on the odometer and the buyer is current on payments.
