    This happens to be the the finest vehicle I have owned (except for my 64 GTO) The comfort of this living room on wheels is unmatched. Critics might complain about the gas mileage, but when you realize that you are in a safe , comfortable, powerfull vehicle you will understand. Build quality is not an issue. I traded in an 02 Highlander Ltd. for my Tahoe, best move I could make.

    Since purchasing this vehicle a month ago and putting 2000 miles on it I can say that my wife and I both enjoy driving it. I would recomend anyone that is in the SUV market to consider the Tahoe.

    I have had the instrument pannel replaced due to a malfuction or defect. The vehicle has been very good for my family and the overall performance has been outstanding.

    We bought the car for winter use and for long trips. It is the best road car we have ever had. It is quiet and comfortable. We get to our destination far more rested than with our previous SUVs from another manufacturer. The commanding height of the driver always lets you know whats ahead. For the passenger, it is like watching from the window of a passenger train.

  • My Z71 review - 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle in October of 2004 and have been highly pleased with EVERYTHING! The first thing that attracted me to the Z71 was its exterior image...sharp! The looks between the plain Tahoe and the Z71 are significant. I have never felt so safe and secure with my SUV, compared to many SUVs. The lumbar seats are comforting and roomy...not to mention the 3rd row seats!! I got mine equipped with OnStar and XM which add to security and luxury. They come with 17 inch wheels that totally suit the look of the Z! Pure comfort, reliability, and pure style come along my very first Tahoe. Thanks!

    Smooth ride w/ excellent towing capacities. Hatch door better than barn door which obscures view. Leather appointments hold up well. Large mirrors which give good visual impacts. Steering is tight and a/c makes some noise....trying to cool down the big interior. Computer set- up not easy to learn and evaluate

  • Awesome SUV!!! - 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

    This is the 3rd Tahoe our family has owned and we love them. We have had a 2002 LT, a 2004 Z71, and our current purchase of 2005 Z71. Excellent comfort and ride. Love the DVD system for our 2 small children. Although it is a large SUV, ease of children in and out is great. Nothing "cheap" feeling about this car. Have look at many other competitors and certain interior features have been skimped on by manufacturer. Gas mileage is average and what to be expected from a V8 vehicle. Love this SUV and woud highly recommend to anyone-family or individual:)

    Picked up loaded Z71 on 02/17/05. We love the interior room and the smooth ride. Interior plastic is too cheap for a $40K+ vehicle - shame on GM! Gas mileage could be better but 16-17 isnt too bad for this size truck. Used 4x4 once and it seemed okay. Climate control makes a loud thump when energized - dealer says this is normal? Passenger side has a buzzing noise at 40-45 mph that cant be isolated - maybe wind noise? Had a major water leak on the rear hatch. Dealer claimed it was a faulty wiring harness compromising the gasket - well see if they were right. Overall still skeptical about truck - within 30 days of ownership its been in the shop 7 days.

  • I loved my friends Tahoe...I bought one - 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

    I cant say enough good things about our Tahoe. It is sturdy, safe, reliable, beautiful, roomy, handsome (male drivers or female), great in Ohio snowy weather, easy to drive (& I am a petite woman), classy and sporty all in one. My husband and I enjoyed our friends Tahoe so much, we vowed that we would also get one for our family. We are a family of 7...tired of driving the "mom mobile van" for many years, I now feel young and sporty in this SUV. It seats 8 people comfortably. A good buy if you are looking for an SUV.
