Poor mileage and transmission lags

The v6 engine only averages 14-15 mpg. The transmission also stutters in finding the right gear at take off excessively. I got better gas mileage with my Silverado v8. This is real regret.

dont buy a 4 cylinder colorado

This truck is gutless , never ran right, wont pick up after turning corners , acts like it will stall at times, the dealer was no help, said they couldn't find anything wrong, GM was no help. They made a record of my complaint but were no help.

Best compromise

My mom has owned one for years and I have always wanted one great truck for the money. It has the space of a fullsize car with out the car part drives a lot like a car but you get the work horse of a truck

What a pleasant surprise!

Went in to test drive trucks not knowing what to expect. This one caught my eye with the exterior styling. Then I drove it - fantastic versatile and rugged! It's great! I had to have it.

Well executed v6 mid sized truck

I love my 2016 Colorado, it runs amazing with the 3.6 v6, gets really good fuel millage even though I drive hard. and pulls trailers very well.the sound system in the truck sounds very good for being a factory system. The one thing that I don't like is , the back seat is kind of tight for a crew cab.

Sturdy, dependable truck-hope it lasts for years

I've owned for a few weeks so far and it has not disappointed yet. There are a few quirks that are likely unique to the Colorado, but nothing that's a showstopper. MPG has been great as I've put on almost 1,000 miles so far.
