 When size large is just right.
The Chevrolet Tahoe is America's best-selling full-size SUV. One of the reasons is that it seems to be exactly the right size SUV for a lot of Americans. It's big enough to haul busloads of people and boatloads of cargo, yet it's more manageable than the super-size Suburban.
Tahoe carries more cargo than a compact or mid-size SUV such as the Chevy TrailBlazer or Ford Explorer. It can carry five passengers and their gear at the same time. Third-row seats are available to increase the capacity to seven passengers, or up to nine when equipped with bench seats throughout. The Tahoe makes for a stable towing platform and pulling a trailer is no problem with the optional 5.3-liter V8. Yet the Tahoe is far more maneuverable than a Suburban, important in crowded parking lots, underground garages, or when parallel parking, and it will fit into more garages.
On the road, the Tahoe is smooth and stable, a rock. It has plenty of power and its brakes work well. The cabin is comfortable and familiar, friendly and functional, particularly after improvements that were made for 2003. Turn off the highway and the Tahoe handles gravel, rugged two-tracks, mud, and snow. In any kind of driving, it's a great choice for someone who needs real carrying capacity.
Improvements to the Tahoe for 2004 further enhance its safety. New Hydroboost brakes provide power assist even if the engine stalls or is turned off. A tire-pressure monitor is now standard. New options include electronic traction control and 17-inch all-weather tires. A major upgrade was made to the Tahoe for 2003 for increased safety and reliability: GM's StabiliTrak electronic stability program became available for improved control on slippery surfaces. New airbag systems were designed to better protect children and adults of various sizes. Adjustable pedals became available, enhancing comfort and safety for drivers of smaller stature. The brakes were improved.
Tahoe dazzles its passengers with entertainment possibilities. XM Satellite Radio delivers CD-quality music, radio, sports, and other programming coast to coast. A rear DVD entertainment system with wireless headphones keeps the kids busy. Continue to "2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Review" from MyRide.com © 2009 Autobytel Inc. All rights reserved.

Finding the Right Used Car
There has never been a better time to buy a used vehicle than right now. Previously owned vehicles are built better, last longer and deliver more reliable service than ever before. At the same time, many used vehicles can now be purchased with warranty and roadside assistance coverage, something that was unheard of in the day of buying a used vehicle "as is." But, while used-vehicle bargains are out there in vast numbers, choosing the right one for you is still fraught with challenges. Making a bad buy can haunt you -- and perhaps your credit -- for years. Before purchasing a used vehicle, it's essential to find out as much as you can about the vehicle's maintenance history and any mechanical problems it might have.

Buying a Good Used Car
If there is one thing that makes people more squeamish than getting up to speak in front of a group of people, it is buying a used car.

What Makes a Used Car "Certified"?
Used cars were once the province of the somewhat shady lot on the corner lit with the bare electric bulbs, populated by guys in bad suits. Consumers who bought from such locations knew they were taking a risk and, for better or worse, they lived with it.But that was then. These days, used vehicles are big business, and giant, publicly traded corporations and the vehicle manufacturers themselves are playing in what has become a much larger, more competitive game. One of the many results of this intense competitive pressure is the phenomenon known as the Certified Pre-Owned vehicle or CPO car. Some have heralded the Certified Pre-Owned vehicle as a boon for the consumer. After all, such vehicles most often feature a lengthy service contract t ...
