  Better Safe Than Sorry - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Scott - August 1 - 7:04 pm

  Figured it time to upgrade from our 1994 Burb w/ 208k miles. Has been a true workhorse and reliable at that. Waited for second year of new model and were completely satisfied with our LTZ, professional reviews spot on. The only option we didnt get was retractable steps. The engineering is solid, materials first rate and quality no longer an issue. As for the mpg, I work in a trauma center (ER) and suffice to say those in larger, late model vehilces with all the latest safety features predictably do much better. When one considers the cargo (family), the mpg becomes, at least of us, a distant secondary concern! Better safe, than sorry.

  Awesome Truck, with room for improvement - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By TXlnghrn - July 22 - 10:59 pm

  Had a 99 Burb but stuff kept going wrong so ended up with a new 08 LTZ. Overall great truck and I love to drive it. Average about 14mpg city (0.7-1 mpg less than onboard pc states) and around 10mpg towing my boat. In 3.5 months I have put over 5K miles on it. Personally, I think it looks awesome inside and out, and the materials seem top notch except for one thing (and this is why I wanted to leave a review). In less than 4 months, my passenger side headlamp is already starting to cloud up. I live in TX and where I park it gets full sun from noon to dusk, but for a $50K vehicle, this is absolutely unacceptable!

  The Suburban Rocks! - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By F-Rod - July 5 - 4:20 pm

  I had a 2002, so I can vouch for all the additions. When they said completely redesigned they meant it. I find the fuel economy extremely good for a beast of this nature. I drive for a living and in less than a year have put 30000 miles on my truck (mostly city miles) and it still drives like new, its a work horse. I shopped the Escalade (overpriced), Denali (not as good looking), Expedition (not a better ride), Navigator (overpriced) and the Suburban seemed to me, the better buy . Great power, fun to drive, nice look and reliable. I would buy it again.

  Outstanding quality - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Bill F - June 15 - 10:22 pm

  I bought this car because I love my 2003 Tahoe Z71 so much. Phenominal truck. You cant break it with a baseball bat. I gave my wife the Tahoe and traded her Ford Windstar in for the Suburban, which I now drive. Excellent ride, nice power, good braking. I bought the LTZ, so it has all of the creature comforts. Very comfortable. You could drive this car for days without tiring. Personally, I think it is the nicest looking truck on the street, with my Tahoe a close runner up. For city or combo driving I average 16 mpg. I tend to go 75 - 80 mph on the highway, which gives me slightly less than 16 mpg. The Windstar would give me 20 plus on the highway, so that is a disappointment.

  Family loves it! - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By tlkimble - April 28 - 9:14 pm

  My family loves this Suburban. The space is comfortable and they love the DVD player and the radio. The fact that we can listen to different things at the same time.

  Second Suburban and running - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Keith R - April 28 - 9:47 am

  I love this vehicle. I traded my 2003 burb in on this 08 and I love it. The ride is much better and the gas mileage isnt bad for a truck this size especially with the deactivation mode. It changes smooth w/o notice. I love the seating refinements, I drove all the way to Ga (about 8 hrs) and I was not tired, it was great. Keep up the good work Chevy, I love ya.

  $50,000 later & I will keep it forever. - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By 08LT-z71 - April 3 - 11:58 am

  Purchased in Feb 08. Currently have about 1700 miles on it and love it. We opted for the Z71 model, because of the ability to go on moderate off road trails. I will probably look into putting a small lift on it eventually as ground clearence isnt what it should be for 4x4...my 99 Silverado z71 has more ground clearence than this, but for a family vehicle, we will love it and keep it for well over 200,000 miles. Also like the fact we can put e85 in it, though I will confess, in Denver traffic, we only get about 11 miles to the gallon. But at $2.19 a gallon, it only costs $65 to fill instead of $95 w/91 octane. The e85 gets us about 300mpg vs 450mpg with 91. No 6spd tranny for 1500.

  Rides like a luxury vehicle - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By geo - March 10 - 7:50 am

  Purchased in January 08. Vehicle rides very good. My wife is impressed with the purchase, she even likes to drive it. The GPS, backup camera is a excellent feature. We utilize the GPS most of the time. The vehicles performance is exceptional with the active fuel management, getting 19.5 mph at 70 mph.

  Excellent vehicle for the price - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By yarom - February 25 - 6:48 pm

  Without a doubt, the best bang for the buck in todays market. I purchased a 4WD LTZ with all the options. This car looks good, is wel built and perform extremely well for the size. Build quality is fine and there are no issues I can find so far. For ski trip of hauling kids and stuff, there is very little competition.

  Love the Suburban - 2008 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Thorsen - February 18 - 10:30 pm

  Just traded our 2005 Nissan Armada for an LTZ Suburban. The Suburban is so much better built than the Armada. I love the rock solid feel and ride of this car. The new interior is great. I highly recommend this car!
