General Comments:

I've been waiting for a small crew cab for years. I don't need four wheel drive or a V6 engine. I thought the Colorado was perfect.

This was my seventh new GM vehicle. The quality problems with this truck and treatment by GM have cured my desire to ever buy another GM product.

Faults:

Oxygen sensor replaced (3 times)

Interior Door Panel broke at about 1000 miles (Literally pulled away from the exterior part of the door by my 6 year old son when pulled closed)

Transmission replaced at 25,0000 miles.

Rear Differential replaced at 41,000 miles.

Windshield wiper motor replaced twice.

Cracked/partially missing front brake pad at 8000 miles.

Several "minor" mechanical and electrical problems.

General Comments:

This truck is the perfect example of "you get what you pay for." A very low priced truck, with a very low build quality.

I was disappointed with the power of the new in line 5 cylinder engine. Chevy claims over 200 horsepower, but it felt severely underpowered, and could hardly get out of it's own way. I have a small jet boat that I like to tow to area lakes, and the Colorado had a very difficult time towing at highway speeds. The Colorado felt so underpowered, I eventually stopped using it for towing, and instead used my wife's Ford Ranger with a 4 cylinder/manual trans!

I had 12 warranty claims with this truck, and I just sold it as my warranty ran out.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with the truck sometimes the CD player rejects a CD, but I put it back in and it plays fine.

General Comments:

Great truck, best vehicle I have ever owned, the 220 HP 5 cylinder has great spunk. I have hauled 1,800 pounds and cruised down the highway at 70 MPH no problem. The Z71 package is great and the push button 4WD system works awesome and makes using 4WD a breeze. It is very roomy for a mid-sized truck and the ride is very very good compared to the s-10. I love the 5 speed transmission and it helps gas mileage too I get 23 on my normal running around I haven't had it on a trip yet, but plan to soon. It is also great on the snowy roads and I've done minor off roading in it too with no problem.
