1994 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Review (continued)
Add your own review or comments

Summary

We admit to approaching the S-Blazer with a feeling that here is a vehicle past its prime, in need of major overhauling. But our test changed our mind-not completely, but a lot. The power train really is worthy and does a lot to keep S-Blazer in the hunt. If you never drive off-road but want the security of 4WD for weather and road conditions, this vehicle merits strong consideration. If you do go off-road, the S-Blazer lacks refinement but does perform well.

The power train is only part of the S-Blazer's success. The suspension, steering and brakes also play important roles. The styling, though, is outdated, as are the tailgate system, the load-carrying capabilities and the seating.

The bottom line is an S-Blazer asset. Our 1994 four-door S-Blazer 4x4, with LT trim and enhanced engine packages, priced out at $24,686 MSRR As we mentioned, this is substantially lower than the Ford Explorer Limited or the jeep Grand Cherokee. Even loaded, this was the second lowest price for any midsize sport utility we tested. The only one lower was the jeep Cherokee Sport at $20,768.
