    Interior looks a little on the cheap side lots of plastic. Vinyl trim around seat rails has some ugly gaps. i-5 power ok.

  • Still Spectacular - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    Anyone looking to buy a compact pickup should really consider the Colorado. I am in sales and drive my truck every day. I have 59,000 on the clock and it has been nothing short of spectacular. The only part I have needed to replace on my truck was a faulty O2 sensor, other than the standard maintenance items. My truck rides great,handles great and the I5 motor has plenty of power, even when pulling my two horse trailer. If you want V8 power, buy a full size..

  • first new truck - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    I really like my truck. I have the Z85 with the I-5 engine(which wasnt an option when filling out this form). However, its not as comfortable to drive on long trips as I expected. The lumbar support hits me about 4 inches too high.Also, if you plan on using a childs car seat in the back of the extended cab (using the jump seats) try your car seat before you buy!!! My daughters car seat hangs off the jump seat by about 60%, which makes me relucatant to put her in the back. Unfortunately, I cant use the front seat because there is no airbag over- ride.

    Ride is like a car. I have the Z-71 package. We have taken it on a 1800mile trip and it performed great in all driving conditions. We averaged 23 mpg on trip.

  • Walked Away Safely - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    On May 7, 2006, I was in a crash that involved my Colorado. I hit water and lost control and totaled my truck. After the fact, you could not recognize that it was a Colorado, but the fact remained I walked away from the accident with only a mild concusion. Its design, I think, was the main reason Im still alive today. Thanks Chevy.

  • Little truck, big performance - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    With 30,000 miles around the corner I still get a smile on my face when I drive my Colorado. I drive 35 miles one to work so it pays to have a good looking truck that gets a 24 mpg average and comfortable too. Reliabilty isnt a worry for me because it just feels like a solid little truck.

  • Vibration problems - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    Ever since purchacing my Colorado I have had vibration problems with this truck. You may wish to go to this website where others are experiencing the same with the 2dr reg cab z85 models as well as others. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulleti n/showthread.php?p=2159504

  • Good Midsize Truck - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    I was looking for a decent midsize truck when I stumbled across my Colorado. I had not seen one before and mine had just rolled off the tractor trailer. I test drove it with the plastic still on the seat. I have had almost no issues with it at all. It handles all the work I throw at it. Dont let the 5 cylinder put you off. It has get up and go. Good truck I would buy another one.

  • Best step down from a full size - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    After driving a full size truck for many years I was skeptical at first if I would like this truck. By now I have enough time in the saddle to say I havent given up much at all. The engine is smooth and powerful enough for my needs and the extended cab is great for family trips and taking friends out. I get lots of comments from people who like the trucks looks and it draws many inquiries as to my satisfaction with it. Needless to say, I give big smiles to a nicely packaged vehicle priced reasonably. If your looking to haul a 5000 pound trailer Id have to point you in the direction of a full size as the I-5 doesnt have that much pulling power, but as a Lowes hauler it is more than enough
