    After test driving just about everything out there (seven make and models). I purchased the Trailblazer Activ in White with the Pano roof for my wife. No other CUV on the market offers Selectable AWD, 9sp auto and turbocharging or the sophisticated feature other than the Jeep Compass but the Compass with pano roof and top trim was 18 000 (15000us) Canadian more than the Trailblazer which I got for 1575cnd under MSRP (1200us). Even better I got 5200 trade in on her Trax LS fwd 6m that I purchased in 2016 for 15 700cnd (12 500us). I have zero concern with reliability as the Trax made in the same factory and designed by the same engineers was absolutely bulletproof over 180 000km (112k miles). These small GM CUV are also a dream to work on if you like to wrench. Being a manual car the Trax only required one set of front brakes at 90 000 miles ! and one set of expensive spark plugs and coil pack at 120 000 miles, all very easy to do myself. Rust resistance was surprisingly excellent, the Trax still looked practically new after seven years of living on the salty coast and travelling to the north of Canada every winter to snowmobile. So if you can find one, get it, you will not regret your choice. If you have questions just ask. I will do my best to answer. I've tried them all.

      The brakes are very grabby when cold, helps to lightly ride the brakes to get a little heat in the rotors and the brakes get less grabby. Wondering if changing to a semi metallic or organic brake pads will be a better solution when original brake pads ware out.

    I bought a 2024 Trailblazer a few weeks back. I really like it. It's very good on gas. I changed the oil after just ONE thousand miles. Gas mileage seemed to improve after the 1000 mile oil change. I will say however, that I've never seen oil that black with such few miles on the odometer. (I showed it to my neighbor who owns a 2023 Trailblazer and he literally got down on his hands and knees to see if it smelled burnt because he said it didn't look right. He said it didn't.)
    I will be changing the oil in 4000 miles at the 5000 mile mark and then every 5000 miles thereafter. It'll be interesting to see how the oil will appear at the 5000 mile mark. I don't suppose that it can be any worse than what it looked like after just 1000 miles. We'll see. After my experience, I would recommend to anyone a relatively early first oil change and not wait till 10,000 miles.

    I’ve owned my for a year, I enjoy the vehicle. The only issues I’ve had is changing the headlights since the drivers side likes to eat them, changed twice since I’ve owned it. The second issue is with the cruise control, likes to kick off when you hit a bump. I was told GM was aware of this issue. My dealer ordered the parts required to fix this issue. It will be repaired hopefully Friday of the coming week. Otherwise I like it

    Once a seller knows you are not financing from them, they tend to steer quite a bit like some of the real estate agents when they see no money in the game. You won't get the help like you should. I personally found the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer RS two tone black top with crimson red. The best part was, it's the AWD 9 speed automatic transmission, 1.3 liters-155 hp and without the over-priced sunroof. A needle in a haystack, but I found it. When you find the one you're looking for don't wait like the customer did. Otherwise my car would have been his. You snooze you lose and got it all just a little over 32k. I freaking love it!

    I originaly wanted a Trailblazer but couldn't find one late 2022 early 2023 they ones dealers were getting were already presold or customer orders. I ended up with a 2022 Buick encore gx select slightly used with 6K miles on it. Wasn't thrilled about the 3 cyl engine but after owning this since January it's much quicker than expected and runs great with good gas mileage. I have a friend who is a service advisor for Buick and he said these 3 cyl engines have been around in europe and asia for many years and they are now seeing some of the higher mileage ones and so far no major issues. His advice was keep the oil changed as required and you really don't have trouble...anyone he has found with turbo problems are the ones to who drive with their foot to the floor at every stoplight and fail to do normal maintenance...I agree as some people just don't take care of their cars. I traded a 2016 Cruze with the 1.4 4 cyl and had no trouble either...the Buick seems to be quicker off the line than the Cruze was and the gas mileage seems to be equal with the Buick being larger. One other reason I didn't get the Trailblazer as the dealers here in central Indiana were adding $2k to the sticker as a market adjustment and wouldn't deal on them.

    Lack of parts to fix issues is also a huge problem. At least that's what we have had on a new car. Developed a turbo issue at around 20,000 miles. Have a 2022 been waiting for a month for a part. Turbo needs replacement. Still no estimate when it will come to dealer. Parts stores don't seem to have common parts like brake pads. Came missing parts even like the back up sensors and the seat heater parts due to shortage of parts. Like it otherwise. Bought with 4 miles on it.
