Worst.

My Chevy Colorado was great for the first 33 days. I have on five different trucks I’ve never owned a Ford truck. But now that I seen the indifference that the manufacture puts out to a customer is beyond belief. My windows doesn’t go up/down properly. My dashboard lights will intermittently go off & will stay off for days. My Chevy link sometimes works properly. Please stay away from this Cheney model

Very reliable

very pleased! It handles very nice, and it's really comfortable! We haven't had a chance to take it long distance yet to see how good the gas mileage yet, but plan to do that next weekend!

Love my used new truck

Comfortable front seat. Handles well. Great option package. Good gas mileage. The ride is as expected for a small truck. Good power under the hood.

Not very reliable

I have only owned trucks my whole life and this one has cost me more in maintenance $ than any other I have had. Fixing issues that I have never had to deal with in my past and would only expect to if I was buying a beater for my kids. I bought this brand new and have had many problems with it. I love the looks, drives great, feels great but I have had to go to mechanics more than ever. I do not believe I will be buying Chevy again after this experience.

Not a new vehicle, but good enough for my budget

I've been looking for a small truck, I live out in the country, needed something rugged but a nice looking truck. Nice color, roomy and clean

Large enough to be a truck, yet fit in garage

Met all our needs, Apple Carplay, Bluetooth, 4WD, remote start, 7000lb towing capacity, and still fits in the garage. All of that and very attractive truck as well.

I would love this truck if the electronics worked

This truck handles good, pulls my boat, and looks good. The reason I was interested in it was the backup camera and GPS (nav) system only to find with only 7000 miles on it that the screen went black and chevy does not do anything about it except charge to replace with the same unit.

Poor Engineering

Great looks in and out. Good has mileage. Poor performance. Engineered for high gas mileage, shifting into higher gears too soon. Causing valve chatter and end result blown engine. Only has 19k miles. If you live in flat lands of Kansas or Missouri you will probably never see the problem. If you live in hilly Pennsylvania, DO NOT BUY. I have 2011 Ford Ranger, runs much better and more reliable. Always was a Ford Ranger man but won the Colorado in casino. Would never buy a Chevy truck from this experience. Buy the Ford Ranger.

First truck I’ve ever owned

I never knew I needed a truck until I rented one for moving large things around. From there it turned into an obsessive search for a good, smaller truck. The Chevy Colorado turned into that great fit. After watching some YouTube videos and reading up about the truck, I went ahead and got the 2016 Colorado. It has all wheel drive, the perfect size truck bed, and it is a very smooth ride on both paved roads and gravel. The interior is spacious and very comfortable. This particular truck has the upgraded Bose sound system in it and it’s is probably the best sound system I’ve ever had in a car. I never knew an affordable truck could be so luxurious and comfortable.
