Chevy Tahoe

Chevy Tahoe, looks amazing doesn't it. Of course it does, look at it. All the movies we have watched and all those television shows, Chevy Tahoe always makes them all look good. Tahoe takes you to the movies.The black ones always look menacing. Guess in a way, this a real American symbol. This car is beautiful. From the Old school Tahoe to this car there has been some real work put in for you. Remember this car is the GMC Yukon and Denali, Cadillac Escalade. This is a beautiful car indeed but I am not sure the American people need to have the name of the car to be twigged a bit and then sold back to them for a higher price. I don't agree. Fitted with bucket sits inside to ensure comfort. Dashboard still looks a bit standard in this car. Very good navigation system plus the car radio is outstanding. The side mirrors have a little feature that's amazing. When the car is in the reverse mode they tilt downwards so the driver can see where he is going and not on some curb plus the rear view camera helps as well. The car has crumble zones at the front in the hood and get this the engine faces slightly upwards as well so in case of a collision it falls downward and not move horizontally into the car. First time I have seen this feature. The headlights are made from this flexible new material that is unbreakable so be my guest people take a baseball to this car's headlights. All stops were pulled on this car's safety. Good job Chevy. The side panel are designed in such fashion that in case of an unfortunate accidents the door does not have to be replaced but the panel act as the buffer and take most of the punishment and can be easily replaced. In case you walk into the mirrors and many will know what I am talking about the mirrors will not be damaged as the deflect both forward and backwards. Another small stride but very handy from Chevy. Looking Good fellows.

What happened to the drive then. A car like this should be the Ultimate driving experience. Sadly this was not to be. Guys people need to have that peace of mind when buying a car, and that the same car will take care of them for the next three years but I did not feel this. The most important aspect of driving was missed on this car. This just a sluggish nice looking car. Feels unsafe and I am sure its does not take much for it to overturn. Acceleration was good but when braking the car was running away from you. Suspension was not sturdy at all. This car is very unsafe. A car this size should have a rigid suspension. When the safety features were put in this car it was not for avoidable accidents but ones that cannot be avoided. Well of the Mark here gentlemen. Very disappointing because I had such expectations for the Tahoe. And fact that the salespeople at Chevy are rude and too pushy does not help. Very patronizing indeed. When someone comes looking for a car they more or less know what they want and your job is to point them in the right direction. Will be better if the car was worth the trouble but unfortunately no.

No one should pay too much for a car that's unsafe anyway. $ 54000.00 fully loaded. That is a lot to pay for a car you know is not safe. I could not wait to finish the test drive and just get out of this car. Very disappointed. But don't take my word for it. Have look for yourselves. The wall of shame will be coming soon. Have candidate number one already.

Watch this space people. Too much fairy tales in this commercials.

  1. My bro I owned CHEVY for 3 yrs..I have to disagree with you on the safe part, I really felt safe in this car and it felt like it was glued to the road, I had many near accidents and not once did it feel like it was going to overturn. The sales people r a bit pushy though,but thats probably because they know u dont make a decision to buy a Tahoe in the lot,the moment u walk into the dealership u already know u want a Tahoe..Maybe the test drive did not do you any justice, its a uniquely big car which takes a moment to get used to.

    I surely Hope it does not end up on the wall of shame, the only reason I got rid of my Tahoe was fuel reasons 17 miles on the highway and 12miles in town...ahhh

  2. The Tahoe will not end on the wall of shame unless something drastic happens and we have to review our opinion on the car. Although there is a few cars that will be going on it soon and I agree.

    Regards to driving the car I just call it as I see it pal.
