    my sis in law just got a new navigator and it's pretty sweet, I'm 6'3" and have no issues in it, I still say their a waste of cash, just buy a freakin expedition if you want something that size since it's the same basic truck but that's just me.

    not to mention my undying hatred for GM, I'm even selling my corvette

    Yeah, I am 6'4 and the Trailblazer is surprisingly comfortable. I heard Caddy's have poor resale value though. Just something I heard through the grapevine.

    I own a 2003 Cadillac CTS with around 100k miles- and absolutely love it!! One of the best cars I have owned in a long time. Hasnt been a completely worry free ride. Several things that seem to be problematic with this model are the windshield wiper motor - out of the blue, the wipers come on and stay on. Had to replace. Buying the part from Cadillac would have set us back about 250.00 but found the part locally and was a real easy fix. I do not feel that interior is cheap feeling. It is a suprisingly quiet and comfortable ride. My husband is 6' and my son is 6'3" and both have no problems with it. However, once the seats are back for a taller driver, the back seat loses quite a bit in leg room but with the way the backseats are designed it is still faily comfortable.

    One of the biggest drawbacks is that regular maintenance on this vehicle is not cheap. I have talked to others who had this year/model and they had ongoing electrical issues. We have not had that.

    HTH!

    I do have an RC Car she could have, hook it up to a Red Rider wagon and she could get to work pretty quick! Fuel is too expensive though ha ha. $30 a gallon!

    spend it on your tank you'll be happier over time than having a navigator vs an expedition eddie bauer edition or something
