Chevrolet Blazer S10 UK Spec

Advantages: Amazing comfort, load space, Towing Capacity LPG savings
Disadvantages: Parts can be costly, maintainence needs to be maticulous

...I bought a Blazer 6 months ago after owning Frontera's, Shoguns and numerous landrovers. By far the S10 UK spec Blazer leaves them in the dust, mines LPG converted making it supprisingly economic, drive it on a motorway run and you can return fantstic value for money, i took mine to France recently and drove from York to Dover at motorway speeds with 4 adults and luggage and cost was £40. I had heard reports that parts were expensive, my outlook on this is overall the cost of chevrolet parts is relative to owning a Range Rover. if your willing to wait parts are easily obtained from the USA at reasonable costs (just watch for the shipping fees) The comfort offered by the Chevrolet is amazing, you can spend a whole day behind the wheel and still get out feeling fresh, the drive is amazingly easy for such a big vehicle. Parking in...

Review of Chevrolet Blazer S-10

Small car, big name

Advantages: Cheap, cheap to run, equipment, easy to park
Disadvantages: Too small, lacks power outside the city

...Mention the name Chevrolet to any car enthusiast & it will conjure up an image of the huge American V8 saloons & SUVs that dominate the America car scene. Along with Ford, Chevrolet is among the best selling cars in America & famous for producing a number of classics such as the legendary Corvette sports car, the muscle cars of the 1960s & many more. It?s a true American brand, up there with Coca Cola & McDonalds, yet Louis Chevrolet who founded the company came from Switzerland. His family left Switzerland to live in France in the late 19th century & it was there where Louis developed his mechanical skills & interest in motor racing. At the turn of the century he emigrated to Canada to work as a chauffeur & mechanic, later he moved again to New York City where he worked briefly for a fellow Swiss immigrant's engineering company...

KING OF BIG CARS

Advantages: Greate design, comfortable

On such cars as "Suburban", "Tahoe", and "Ukon", the company earns on some thousand dollars of net profit, and machines of hundreds thousand are sold.

Review of Chevrolet Suburban

Forget the ride, steering and interior build quality and love it!

Advantages: Sounds better than the Beatles!
Disadvantages: 75% of the population hate you.

...I've had a love/hate relationship with my 1989 Chevrolet Silverado for around 8 years now. It's undergone a rebuild and respray, has a typical crazy Yanky wallow to the ride, the steering is fragile and at worst lethal, the interior trim quality is poor and you have to keep all the joints greased or it sounds like a seriously squeaky bed ... it smokes on start up and the engine service light comes on if the fluid level slops on a corner. The model I drive is the 5.7 V8 and it is ... when all considered ... a petrol heads dream! I drove this car to Hamburg a couple of years ago and stuffed every Merc and BMW I came across. Mid range acceleration is 'awesome' and the top speed is scary! It will do 140mph with an eagerness to do considerably more. OK, so I tweaked the box and suspension and brakes, but it's reasonably stock ... it turns...

Review of Chevrolet Silverado

Corvette ZO6 is passionate Americana engineering

Advantages: 505 hp, immense brakes and great handling qualities
Disadvantages: gives you awestruckness !

...The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6..is a passionate piece of American Engineering. In fact as I drive past, everybody in the street has got to look at it. Its not so passionate as it is technologically advanced. This vehicle has an Aluminium frame. The roof is made of magnesium. It has a great power to weight ratio. The Chevrolet Corvette is an icon. In 1953 when the car was introduced only 300 were made and even given to people like John Wayne to look good to drive around in. 1954 came and the car had hard sales..it almost died. Its amazing that this car has made it through 6 incarnations to become the ZO6 in the 2007 model year. To me this car is the epitome everything Chevrolet can take and form into a performance car. It has 505hp, incredible brakes, incredible suspension and on top of all that..it has a head-up display, great leather...

Review of Chevrolet Corvette Z06

The Corvette is too fast and too ferocious

Advantages: Good 6-speed automatic transmission. Good ride quality, pure Americana
Disadvantages: Might ruin your hairstyle, causes wind-blown hair !

...The Chevrolet Convertible, is a pure American emotional drive. If there is one car in the world that is absolutely 100% Americana...I believe its the Chevrolet Corvette. Back in the 50s a group of core engineers at Chevrolet were designated to create an American sports-car...and "bish-bash-bosh"...6 generations later...you have the C6 Chevrolet Convertible being reviewed. I'm going to take a peek inside, and yes it does actually have a boot as well. But lets start by looking under the bonnet. Okay "hood" open. I can see it has the LS2 engine, and you better believe it, its a big piece of American iron. Call it 6 litres if you want. I'm going to call it 364 cubic inches, I don't know when and where exactly the litres came in, long ago it was all about cubic inches. This motor has 400 hp and 400 lbs-ft (542 Nm) of torque...which in my...

Review of Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

A great little runaround & good first car

Advantages: Responsive, roomy, lots of storage places etc etc!
Disadvantages: The boot isnt large, if alot travelling then engine may struggle, steams up easily

...In this review I will explain what I do and don't like about the Chevrolet Matiz 1.0 SE, as a newly qualified driver (I passed the practical driving test in October 2006) and will put in as much detail as I can. Now to start with, it was under sad circumstances that I got this car, for my first car which I got second hand last November (2006) was the original Matiz, the Daewoo model. However, back in March I unfortunately had an accident driving home from work along a narrow country road, it was pretty scary but I walked away from it fine at least, its a shame I couldn't say the same for the car though! It got sent to a garage and as I feared, it was going to cost more than it was worth to fix it, so I had to get a new car. I remember one of the guys that came to my help commenting on how well the car had managed to take the impact...

Review of Chevrolet Matiz 1.0

AMERICAN DREAM

Advantages: TOP MARQUES
Disadvantages: NONE

...the "STINGRAY", with the two words now being spelled out as one. From this period body stylings altered little, with engine options from 350ci (5.7ltr) 350 BHP up to a 454ci (7.4ltr) option producing an incredible 460 BHP. The early 1970's saw a dramatic change, not only for the Corvette, but for other makes and models as well. With changing policies within American law, emission controls were introduced for the so called gas guzzlers. We now see catalytic convertors required by law, engine out put lowered, meaning that a 350ci 350 BHP was de-tuned to 210 BHP. The brakes so to speak were put on by Government, but the "Vette" still drives on. The biggest influential change however came within 1979, the Chevrolet Corvette STINGRAY is dropped altogether, but not forgotten. The "STING RAY" or the "STINGRAY" remains in peoples hearts. I don...

Review of Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

So you want to know about Corvettes - right...

Advantages: same as before only windier
Disadvantages: same as before only windier

...to keep costs down. The Corvette would have been produced with a conventional steel body, but for the fact that the tooling required to press the body panels would have been too expensive so Earl and his team turned to the (then) relatively new process of moulding the panels from glass fibre. As a result, every Corvette ever produced has had a plastic body shell and this is one of the reasons why so many have survived. Glass fibre doesn?t rust. Earl wanted a V8 motor for his new baby but only Cadillac, Buick and Oldsmobile produced them at the time and since the new car would appear under the Chevrolet soubriquet he had to make do with the ageing ?Blue Flame? in-line six cylinder Chevy unit. It had originally been designed in 1941 as a truck engine and quite frankly, it was a shit motor. In standard trim the 235 cubic inch unit (about...

Review of Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

On The Open Road We Go

Advantages: Great Family Car
Disadvantages: None

...This was the greatest investment I have ever made. The 2004 model Chevrolet Cavalier is a great family car. Before the purchase of the four door sedan, we had a ninety eight model Cavalier. However it was a two door car, and with three kids that was a little cramped. Not only is this a great family car, it is also a good ride for the kids. We don't have to listen to the kids in the backseat screaming " I don't have enough room " or " Quit kicking the seat " (my husband)! We drove this car to San Antonio, which is about a hundred and fifty miles from here, and only used a little over a quarter of a tank of gas. It gets good in city mileage and even better highway miles (as long as you aren't stuck in traffic on the interstate!).The Cavalier has a new sleek design, and is very pleasing to the eye. It is also a very popular car, there...
