  To bad they stopped making them. - 1999 Chevrolet S-10

  I was looking for a basic 4wd compact pickup truck with 36k miles or less with a v6 for under $10k. After 40k miles I have had zero problems with it. I get 19-21 mpg. It uses no oil.

  This ones a keeper - 1999 Chevrolet S-10
  By Jo Momma - September 27 - 2:00 am

  Im not rich, so I looked for something reasonable. The S-10 has satisfied me in all aspects save for one. Its smooth lines give it a sporty look, and with a few minor engine adjustments give it a rumble and growl that lead many to believe it is a V-8. The black interior glistens in the sun when I give it its weekly Armor All treatment (the only for the interior complaint is that in california heat you need breathable seats. Finally my truck may sound like a V-8 but really it is a V-4, the only thing keeping me here is the fact that it is a stick shift otherwise this vehicle would be way too slow.

  been great for me - 1999 Chevrolet S-10
  By mikal2 - July 11 - 2:00 am

  I bought this truck new. It fits my needs well. The truck has been back to the dealer twice for minor repairs, one muffler and one hyd.line. It averages 22mpg consistently, and will get 26+ in extended highway driving. I have used Amsoil since the first oil change,and have experienced no oil loss to note. I did have to replace the radio in 2002, when the cd player quit working. The lever for the drivers side seatback broke shortly after purchase, due to poor design, and inferior materials. Overall, I have been satisfied with it.

  I LOVE my Truck! - 1999 Chevrolet S-10
  By malinche - July 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought it based on the 3rd door and the color (indigo blue)--yeah, it is a "girl" thing, but I am from a true Chevy family (5 Chevy cars, truck, SUVs from the same dealer) and my getting it was no-brainer. I live in the Bay Area and the V6 has served me well go up and down hills. I drive A LOT to SoCal and it is a comfortable drive. Ive have had no maintenance problems other then normal wear and tear. I will buy another truck.

  The interior seat adjustment levers both broke with normal use. Other than that built well and very reliable.

  Best vehicle Ive ever owned - 1999 Chevrolet S-10
  By Great Truck - May 20 - 2:00 am

  Great looking and performing vehicle. I get a lot of compliments on its looks and also on its offroad abilities. No mechanical problems of any kind. No squeaks or rattles - tows and hauls everything Ive thrown at it.

  This Aint Like The Old S-10s - 1999 Chevrolet S-10
  By MGDguy - April 28 - 2:00 am

  Ive have owned a 89 S-10 Reg Cab 4cyl/5spd, a 91 S-10 Reg Cab 4cyl/5spd, and now a 99 S-10 Ext Cab 6cyl/5spd, and by far I liked the two older ones the best. The 99 Ive owned for only 9 months and I already want to get rid of it. Sqeaks and rattles while driving down the street, not to mention the automatic headlights, the radio that stays on after the ignition is turned off, and the interior light that comes on after removing the ignition key are too much. Plus the fact that the newer S-10 are cheaply built. This is by far the worst S-10 Ive owned. Do yourself a favorite if you want a S-10 buy one thats pre-94.
