I'm on Kauai at the Sheraton now with a Chevy Blazer 4wd. Absolutely no need for it at all. I usually get a minivan because I hate cars. I own both a Pontiac Montana and Chevy Trailblazer at home. I thought the Blazer would be comparable to the Trailblazer but it's much smaller. Rent a minivan (not for room, there are only 2 of us, but for comfort).
