2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid User Reviews

Pros

Fuel economy, great ride, excellent handling, front and side airbags along w/ 8 passenger seating

Cons

Decals, seat folding, no spare tire, oh my, what cons!

Purchased As New

This is ONE FINE SUV!!! Okay, it only comes in a few colors, but I like the silver/grey so I'm good with that. No, not real keen on the decals, but the dealer removed them before I drove off the lot so what's there to complain about. The folding seats aren't the easiest in the world, but my wife can operate them so they can't be too bad. No spare tire. Now that is about the only thing that I have a problem with because I'm a "do it myself" kind of guy, but my wife drives it most of the time and she wouldn't be changing a tire, she'd be using On-Star. Not a whole lot to complain about if you ask me, especially if you've taken the time to research and test drive other SUVs.

We (my wife and I) never buy anything as expensive as a vehicle on our first or even second look and we always try to talk the other out of it, pros and cons, over several days to weeks before making the purchase. Yes, 50K is a lot of money. I know because I'm in the military and everyone knows that we're not the best paid profession around, but if you look at what you're getting, along with the safety of a full size SUV with front and side curtain airbags for your family and good fuel economy for a vehicle this size, then I think you'll agree that paying a few extra thousand dollars to have a favorable outcome in the event of an accident is something you can't put a price on.

Say what you will about foreign SUVs being better, but NONE can compare to the ride and quietness, the power combined with economy, the comfort of not six or seven, but eight adults and the safety provided by the Tahoe. Oh, let's not forget the eight year warranty on the fuel cell (hybrid battery). Throw all that on top of the great salesman, Larry Davis at PowerSwain Chevrolet who didn't once pressure us into anything and I haven't got a thing to complain about. I'll have this vehicle until they come out with something better, which will be several years down the road.

Thanks Chevy!
