Next???

So, I sold the Evo....and I've planned to get into a Trailblazer SS next. Does anyone currently own one? Owned one in the past?

I only think I don't particularly care for is the gas mileage. It's roomy, it's an SUV, it can tow/haul, it's decently quick, and it's nice looking... all of which are things I am looking for in my next vehicle.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should look at or consider for a next vehicle? Or maybe give me some info on the SS if you've owned one before, or currently own one now? Keep in mind the things I am looking for in my next vehicle.

Thanks

I knew someone would bring these up, and I forgot to say my opinion. First off, the gas mileage is worse in the SRT8 than it is in the SS, and the SS is already bad enough. Secondly, they are way more expensive. Lastly, there are NO used ones within 150 miles of me that are in my price range.

Thanks though.

SRT-8 is also the biggest POS made, Only strong thing on mine is the motor... the rest of the Jeep falls apart around it. Very fast but not worth it.

My best friends parents have a SS. It's pretty sick, probably the only SUV I would consider getting if I was in the market for one. Super quick, really smooth ride, very nice interior.
