BOB47 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 As I stated, my sister is looking to replace her trailblazer soon. Needs some ideas about what vehicle and motor combinations to look at. Her requirements: Must be able to seat 6 adults. Comfortably Must be GM vehicle since she can get employee pricing Mid 20's to $35,000 max Best possible mileage with moderate power. No slugs but not SS or VHO power NOT diesel or premium fuel Flex fuel ok if the cost /mileage ratio is worth it. Displacement on demand? Worth it? They aren't making the extended TB anymore so that's out. Tahoe is too big/expensive. She's looking at a Z71 Quadcab Silverado. She likes it but isn't sure what size engine to get. I haven't looked at the new stuff for a while so I'm not much help. Any suggestions? Even a car that seats six would be considered. Thanks for any ideas.

KissMySilvSS Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 GMC Acadia or Buick Enclave. Also '09 Chevy Traverse will replace the TB. They are getting pretty high reviews and you can get one very nicely equipped for low 30's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB47 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The Traverse isn't coming out soon enough for her. She has to turn in her current TB by June. I'll have to look at the other 2. Not familiar with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JF-03-SS Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 She could get into a 1 LT Tahoe for under $35k, just a bone model though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Silv Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The new Malibu's are REALLY nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The new Malibu's are REALLY nice...That was what I was thinking. Don't know how comfortable it would be for 6, though. The GMC Acadia is pretty nice, and has a third row seat. Buick Enclave is a bit more expensive, although it has some more features/options. DOD does save some fuel if you're not in constant stop and go traffic. Maybe 2-3 MPG, but every little bit helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superredss Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 what about the saturn VUE? Cheap, decent on gas, GM, midsize SUV (I think), and doesn't look all bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT13 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 The Acadia isn't a bad looking vehicle at all. looks like its bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
