I bought a 2005 TrailBlazer when they had the GM employee price thingy going on, & I thought it was a big POS

! It was at the chevy dealer like 20 times in 1 1/2 years. If i could do it over again i would have traded my Grand Cherokee Overland for the H3 & NEVER got the Trail Blazer!
It was slow, cheaply made, really bad steering feedback , but i did have the EXT version so the short one might be better!!!!

the jeep srt8 might be my favorite vehicle on the road today, i just had an srt10 that i traded in on the hummer and have had the experience of getting the srt8 jeep as a loaner car and wow does that thing launch!!!!!!..........its not an offroad vehicle in any sense, its a suv race car....would be a nice complimentary vehicle to the hummer

I own a 2006 Trailblazer and a 2007 H3. Both are good vehicles. You will not be disappointed in either. Personally, I love the H3. In the current market, you can get a tremendous deal for a used low mileage 2007 or 2008 H3. I paid recently $25,000 for the used 2007 H3 with less than 15,000 miles.

haven't decided yet - this week. Price will be a factor. TB with very similar sticker price, just has so many more options (sunroof, 6-CD, power seats, etc.). Is it inappropriate to ask here what a reasonable payment per month (39 month lease, nothing down) would be? The vehicle is a pretty basic one - not bottom of the line (automatic transmission) but with relatively no luxury options.

Not at all. Lots of people are leasing. I have never leased but see ads for $299.99 per month. Not sure what the details are. people will chime in and let you know.

Thank you. I would hope that $299 a month is with that 3K down at lease signing, cause I was quoted a payment $100/month higher! - (with nothing down at signing)

I put NOTHING down...got a base h3 (early 06..prices were still jacked up back then) got chrome appearance package..aut and side nerf bars...I pay $419 a month on a 39 month lease. Next time I will finance but I didn't want to get stuck with a first year truck that would have bugs to work out...glad I did it that way

IMO there should be no debate over the two....if your looking for a practical drive the family around SUV then get the trailblazer...more comfy,more power, more features. If you want an suv that performs off road like every other SUV can only dream of and get looks and stares like no TB EVER will...then get the hummer. That's the choice in teh end...do you want to stand out...or blend in with the crowd?
