Re: What do you guys think of the Colorado?
I can tell you that the Colorado and the Canyon are powered by a 5 cylinder 3500 or the 4 cylinder 2800 engines.
Personnaly I like the styling and would definatly consider purchasing one

the Colorado actually looks decent. it's about time they update the look. but i'd still get a Frontier over it.

Re: What do you guys think of the Colorado?
We have had ours since early March...
It had 17 miles on it when we bought it and now has over 10,000. (lots of long road trips and vacations) the truck handles it like a champ. Plus is good in the mountains!

Re: What do you guys think of the Colorado?
i bought the sport version with lowered suspension and no shitty chrome parts..it's all black..nothing but a head turner..I love it to death..as heathersg said..TONS of inside room. i have the 220 hp 5 cylinder, it's rather peppy for a mid sized truck..larger than an s-10 but not a gas hog like the silverado. I had it four days and replaced the muffler w/ a flowmaster..its got a little bark, but it does wrap up a little if you get into it too hard,,and drifts more towards the import-sound. So if you keep your foot out of the motor so to speak, then it sounds wonderful. There is also a cold air intake offered by k&n or edelbrock,,not sure..but i am in the market to get that as well..about 280.00 Also..20's will look great, and not look overly big on this truck like the s-10's..i haven't gotten mine yet, but that will be soon.

Re: What do you guys think of the Colorado?
Our's is black as well.
It's a really nice looking truck. we saw the lowered suspension one as well, but went with the regular one because of the flooding our area does sometimes. LOL...didn't want to have to paddle! LOL

I am also thinking about getting a new Colorado. I checked out the extended cab and the crew cab and really like the latter. I could not believe the room in the back seat! I was disappointed though that I can't get the 5 sp with the 220 hp motor in the Z71 4WD pkg. The auto is standard. It looks like I can (technically) get that combo in the Z85 4WD. Unfortunately, it looks like most dealers are ordering them with the auto - I haven't found one in my area on the Chevy website locator. Also, I am bummed that I can't get the leather interior and seat six. Anybody know if the bed extender is on a track to roll up to the front of the box when not in use? I didn't think to check when I was at the dealer the other day.
This is a great and timely discussion, Thanks!

Colorado Trucks
Bought my Colorado in June. I have just over 5,000 miles on it already and I'm extremely pleased. It is by the far the best truck I've ever owned. I have the 5 cylinder with a manual transmission. Good gas milage and great hauling ability. Recommend the truck for everyone.

Re: What do you guys think of the Colorado?
We rented one a couple of weeks ago for a road trip (was going to get a Grand Prix, but it had a flat tire), and it was really good for a truck. I'm a sports car kinda guy, but I liked it a lot. It was easy to drive, and looked nice inside and out. If I was going to buy a smaller truck, I would buy this.

I love the Colorado as well, and will be getting one as soon as I can sell my Typhoon. My dad works for GM, so I'll be getting a pretty healthy discount. Getting a crew cab sport, black with leather. So if you know anyone that wants a rare Garnet Red '93 Typhoon with only 69k miles, I'm selling mine. I need something more practical. I love the Typhoon, but the gas mileage isn't there, and with it being such a rare truck, I hate putting miles on it.
