Its just OK - 2008 Chevrolet Colorado
By Joanne - July 14 - 9:39 amI should have looked a little harder. Its a bit of a gas guzzler. The interior could use a couple of perks. Had some problems with it starting in extremely cold weather.

Very Pleased - 2008 Chevrolet Colorado
By Colorado76 - June 15 - 7:34 pmI purchased a 2008 Colorado 2wd regular cab 4 cyl. 5 speed about two months ago. It is Victory Red with fog lights, aluminum wheels, and monochromatic front and rear bumpers. So far, I am very pleased with this truck. The 4 cyl 5 speed combo is fun to drive and has plenty of power even with the a/c on. I am getting 26-27 mpg on the highway and about 21 in the city. Also, the 4 cyl. is fairly quiet and idles smoothly compared to other 4 cyl. engines I have owned or have ridden in. After nearly 2,000 miles, the only changes I would make are: a little more lumbar support in the seats with reclining seatbacks on the models with the LS trim. As far as ride, its much quieter than my 04 Silverado

Backbreaker - 2008 Chevrolet Colorado
By Pnut - May 5 - 12:35 pmI bought this truck brand new. I could not take the back pain anymore. There was absolutely no lumbar in the seat. Unfortunately, it took some time to figure this out. I had to push the brake pedal to the floor at times to get it to stop. In the beginning, it seemed to have a lot of power for a 4 cylinder. That didnt last long. I started to hear a noise that sounded like metal grinding on metal. That would be the next buyers problem!
