  Very Surprised.. And Happy with my Colorado - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
  By colorred - April 7 - 11:31 am

  I bought my Colorado used with only 48K miles on the OD. Ive doubled that and it still runs like a top. Ill admit I was a bit of a skeptic but saw some positive reviews and Im glad I took the chance. The inline 5 is a great engine, though not overly powerful it suits my needs perfectly. The crew cab has lots of comfortable space. So far (knock on wood) Ive only performed regular maintenance and it hasnt required any repair needs. I keep the brake pads changed perhaps a little more often than normal as I was told new rotor replacements will be big bucks. They werent designed to be changed easily.

  Surprised - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
  By jmatt360 - October 8 - 9:47 am

  I bought this truck used and was kinda hesitant about its performance. After driving for awhile I was really impressed. Drove it 360 miles in one weekend and got great gas mileage. Estimated about 27 mpg with a load of furniture on the back. Sure it gets more without furniture. Loved the handling of it through Altanta traffic. Would recommend it to anyone interested in a mid - size truck.

  Reliable - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado

  I have owned my truck since new and have put over 100K miles on her, now and have never experienced a single issue. I do regular maintenance and she is the most dependable vehicle Ive ever owned.

  Quality Truck - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
  By RacinJason - March 13 - 8:07 am

  Owned for a year. Previous owner took care of the truck and kept it clean and serviced. I am doing the same. It runs well and am impressed by the quality of engineering. The ride is excellent, especially for a truck. As long as I keep it serviced on time I have seen no indication of any service issues either in person or in the internet.

  WE LIKE IT - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
  By SUSAN - January 22 - 5:52 pm

  We bought this used with 14,000 miles on it, its the 5 cyl and we really like it. No problems, good pickup with enough power. easy to handle and good in snow. Now have 52,000 miles and have had no problems mechanically at all. dont like the seats with headrests when back seat is in use. other than that fine.

  I love my truck! - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
  By KTCalloway - June 27 - 9:34 am

  Absolutly no problems. Handles well, comfortable ride. Looks great too. Would like better gas mileage of course, but it is as advertised. Design of the seat belt placement not comfortable for short person( Im 53"). Love the OnStar, will never have another car without it!

  Amazing truck - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
  By Bowtie - April 20 - 1:43 am

  This truck has been great. A long awaited replacment of the S-10 (and I had 1). I have the Z-71 package and it does well off-road and I have put it through its paces.

  Pure Pleasure. - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
  By kaetc81 - April 8 - 12:06 pm

  I have enjoyed driving and owning this truck. It is comfortable for trips & long commutes, handles well in traffic and is most dependable. It works well for my personal hauling needs as well, great design features make it a handsome vehicle, one I am proud to own. The Onstar feature is great, the monthly report and diagnostics are an excellent tool for maintenance.

  Just the right size - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
  By metalbabbleDotcom - April 5 - 10:37 am

  I imagine most people come on these sites to complain about problems but not many people take the time to praise a dependable vehicle. The Colorado has been great, I drive 20k a year and its well past its warrenty period without a peep of trouble.

  Great truck - 2006 Chevrolet Colorado
  By Tom - March 30 - 5:15 pm

  Just a touch underpowered but good fuel mileage and comfortable ride is worth it. 24 mpg on the highway. When going on the beach, wouldnt want any other truck. I have pulled every other model out. More F150s than any other. Even had some refuse help cause they drove a Ford. O well, I just drove on by.
