  • I love this car! - 2003 Chevrolet Suburban

    We have four kids and this is an awesome vehicle for us because it is so comfortable, drives great & has plenty of extra room for all our "stuff". We drove all the other large SUVs & the Suburban drives the absolute best. Great vehicle!

    I had a need to tow the big boat, haul the family and two dogs between the main house and the lake house, and the old truck was dying. As a lifelong Honda and Toyota guy, I cant believe that I bought a Suburban instead of a Pilot or Sequoia. I have had it three months and have been pleasantly surprised with the build quality. Gas mileage has been 18-19 MPG and is better than I expected.... The family took it on a 20 hour, 1000 mile round trip on a three day weekend, and it was great. Overall, the Suburban has been a very comfortable hauler.

    I drive the Suburban daily! I cant imagine hauling groceries, kids, backpacks, sports equipment, etc. in anything else! In the winter, with icy roads, I feel safe and secure taking the family where ever they need to go! Great Auto!

    We love our Suburban. It is the perfect family vehicle. With four kids, the space is ideal. Weve made a number of long distance road trips and the ability to move 6 people with alot of luggage and gear is a real plus. I love the fact that I can fit a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood etc... in the rear cargo area. If your a weekend project person, this vehicle is ideal. All around its the most practical and comfortable vehicle in its class.

  • Disappointed - 2003 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    I use my Chevy to puck up friends from the airport and to take trips to neighboring states. The dealership tells me that it is normal to burn 1 1/2 quarts of oil between oil changes (every 3500 miles) Chevy says it sent out letters saying this was normal.???
