Default trailblazer handling

Hey everyone. I am new to this forum and a planned Trailblazer purchaser. I plan on purchasing a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer but just had a couple questions for current owners and others experienced with this model trailblazer. First of all I have read a lot on the internet that the handling on the trailblazer is no good. I have read though that they run great and are a very comfortable drive. I really like the way they look and the performance specs thatI have read about impress me also. But of course I am concerned with the handling. I dont need sports car handling but I was wondering what upgrages are available that would help the handling. I dont want to sacrifice too much ride comfort but i do want so upgrade that allows fast corner taking with less body roll but still comfort in everyday driving. Any opinions/advice on this. Thank you.

yea i looked into the SS Tblazers but not really in my budget or else I would opt for one. I think that I will opt for the suspension used on the SS and that should fulfill my needs perfectly. Just a curious question, does anyone know the top speed of the '04 trailblazer (base I-6 engine)?

Moms Envoy handles pretty good, it has the same suspension package. The coil springrear will make it feel soft in the rear when cornering, but I only notice that because I drive a leaf-rear vehicle.
