Got us there and back numerous times

Vehicle has had no breakdowns during the thousands of miles travelled in and out of state. Was comfortable for hours at a time, and had room to lay back and rest. Can off-road too with ease. Has camper shell with room to carry belongings for a move or for recreation. Sun roof adds that personal touch outside with your travels. The interior is comfortable w/ leather heated seats, a good sound system and other amenities, such as compass direction and temperature reading in rear view mirror.

2008 Chevy Colorado

Skip the colorados/canyons. Not any better gas mileage than a full size pu. Very cheap interior with not many features. Poor power for pulling an aluminum fishing boat.

Great For A Bachelor

I have mixed emotions about my 2008 Z71 Crew Cab Colorado. I have always driven a full size, but bought this truck when gas prices were soaring in 08. Really liked the inline 5 and I would say I was getting about 23 miles per gallon on highway. Really fun truck and really easy to drive and park. Went down to the coast a few times with it and really did well off road. Very agile. Now for the reason I am trading it in. The back seat is way too small. I know it is a smaller truck, but there is not much room. With a child car seat in back, it leaves absolutely no room for anybody else. I would definitely recommend this truck for somebody who is single without any children. I really don't feel like the is a mid-sized truck. To me it is a compact truck. I love Chevy and always will, but this is definitely not a family truck. Also, I have had issues with the AC freezing up after only about 20 minutes in use. Been an on going problem and have had it looked at every time I take it in for oil change at the dealer. Being from Texas and having the summers we have, not fun! Anyways, I would recommend for bachelor, but not family man. Gas mileage is just not worth it compared to the new full sized trucks out there.

colorado rolls

Value and reliability were most important to me. I could not have been happier with my Colorado purchase.

CHEVY COLORADO'S ARE NUMBER 1!

I bought this truck right off the lot and it's been a very good truck! It looks nice, and it drives nice. It's cute & fast! I LOVE IT. I have 14,000 miles on it and I haven't had any problems with it. It's awesome! I'm very proud of my truck :) And very satisfied with it. I wish everyone had one! I'll always choose Chevy for my trucks no matter what. CHEVY COLORADO'S ARE THE BEST!

Not that great

New 2008 4x4 colorado Ext. cab. Replaced two door latches, 4 wheel drive switch, rear bulb, Air sound still can be heard at door seals. Don't think this happens on regular cab. ALL in FIRST Month. We'll see whats next. Had a 1996 Dodge Dakota for Thirteen years with less trouble. My mistake. Only would recommend to friend if they don't have enough money for something else. The only choice to select here is yes or no, thats why I checked yes, it does get me around.

LOVE our truck! great for the snow

We bought a 2008 Colorado this year and absolutely love the truck. It's smooth riding, comfy and has a lot of great features. The size of the truck fits our lifestyle because it seems to be not too big and not too small. We had a sunroof added and it was well worth it! The only problem with it is it rattles a little in the steering column but were taking it in to be looked at. Took it up to the snow for snowboarding a couple of times and the 4x4 feature works effortlessly. Great buy.
