    Looks great. I was impressed until you showed the sticker price. $53k? At that price I would think about looking at luxury brands. You know as soon as you drive that Blazer off the lot, it's worth 30k

    • @jakes5530

      The RS is literally just an appearance package. Can get basically the same thing for under $45k in non-RS trim.

      They raised them by 10k since last year thats why they aint selling

      We bought a RS last week. $45K out the door. With the 308HP motor. It's pretty badass.

      I was going to say after looking at that MSRP I would just better off buying a luxury SUV crossover

    I just bought mine a week ago and I absolutely LOVE this vehicle!!! Sticker was $51 and some change and totally worth it.

    The main disappointment in the Blazer is that it isn't an offroad SUV. If they are trying to make it a camaro-like sports crossover, they should offer a Blazer SS with a supercharged 3.6L

  • @jakes5530
    @jakes5530 Před rokem +8

    Naw the 3.6 is perfectly matched to the Blazer. I had one as a rental for 3 months and was consistently impressed by the performance it offered. Much quicker than you’d think and better than EPA rated mpg.

      @jakes5530 Před rokem

      @@Jennifer-in4us the one i had was super glitchy tech-wise. Apple carplay would constantly have issues and the infotainment screen even not on carplay had problems too. Also the LED lights were pretty unimpressive for being LED. The engine and powertrain were good and the ride was pretty comfortable, but you could tell the build quality was mediocre. So overall no Id pass.

    The Chevy blazer is one of the vehicles that I'm generally confused by. Even though it's well equipped it consistently gets ranked towards the bottom of most automotive journalist lists.

    Thinking that the Chevy blazer, Toyota Highlander, Subaru Forester/ Outback or Kia Telluride, Kia Sorento is going to be my car in the next 5 years. And I agree that the Blazer should be a performance SUV!

    Oh my. You are describing a rolling garbage can. The "piping" on the seats and the "red stitching" do not impress. Looks like a cheap imitation of a wannabe Japanese crossover. The Blazer in it's Full-Size and S-10 configuration was a Blazer. It is an abomination that Chevy violated the name of a great vehicle for a crossover.

    It's a really cool looking vehicle and I'm very impressed with how Chevrolet has updated their vehicles especially on the Chevy Blazer. But with that said they're not offering you anything that you couldn't get in a Kia. Of the almost the same type of platform. What I mean by that is all the ergonomics that you have in this Chevy you can find all the same thing in a Kia In fact it looks a lot like what Kia does which tells me something about Chevy Chevy has to because their market share is not as good as the key is that I see all over the road

      Would you consider Kia reliable?

    • @isakwilkinson2491
      @isakwilkinson2491 Před rokem +1

      @@jeromeseguin3530 I have a 2012 Kia soul Plus 2.0 . Has 130,000 mi on it. I have had some issues with it. I would say at this point it is an okay car does not get the MPG like a 4-cylinder of its size. In fact it only gets 21 mi to a gallon on the highway. Even with premium fuel. And it's never been revved it's never been raced around. It is garage has had all of its oil changes all of its maintenance just like what Kia wants from a Kia dealership. Has had some mechanical issues. But for the price of what I paid for it it's not a Honda. It's not a Toyota. It's a Kia. I would say that it has lasted longer than most other Kia's from the previous years before it. It's an okay car. It's motor has started making this weird ticking noise at 90,000 mi. And it has continued to get worse over time. Is it still running Yes. Reliable you can turn the key and go. But it has been in a shop like I said a few times for issues like transmission timing belts other things like that. But they got I had gotten the extended warranty and all this other stuff was paid so that was fine.
