On the whole we love our 1998 Chevy Suburban. It's big, it can carry anything, and it gives a smooth ride. It had these wonderful little pockets and compartments and places to put everything you could ever want to carry in your car. It has a glove...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Very safe when it comes to accidents
Cons: it turns like a truck, the blind spot is huge, won't fit into most garages

The Chevrolet Suburban is a very safe car, as in accidents the thing won't let you down. The seats in the car are comfortable enough for you to sit in, but don't count on sleeping on the seats; the suburban has the room for you to sleep in but don't make...

This car or should I call it truck has many positives. As one of the biggest vehicles on the road the driver sees the road from a better vantagepoint than most other cars and trucks even. The suburban is a powerhouse of a car capable of taking its driver...

Pros: comfortable, towing power, very good handling, quick
