  2005 GMC Canyon - 2005 GMC Canyon
  By krushrr - July 3 - 3:32 pm

  I went with the GMC Canyon for the bucket seats over the Chevy Colorado and look of the GMC. I thought about the Toyota briefly but the Canyon/Colorado stole the show. The truck is a 4WD Extended Cab with the 5 cylinder 3.5L engine option and automatic transmission.

  GMC Canyon Underrated! - 2005 GMC Canyon
  By RT - June 20 - 9:36 pm

  My 2005 GMC Canyon Crew Cab (with all the goodies) has been a superb performer: reliable, comfortable, and substantial. Fit and trim are good on the upgraded version with leather seats, etc. (not excellent, but good). The Canyon offers a sun /moonroof which is a must for me, an on-going convertible owner in California. Ive owned Fords for the last twenty+ years (including F-150 & Rangers) and I remain a Ford fan. However, this GMC Canyon is encroaching on that favored status. The low-speed torque is lacking somewhat in this 3.5l truck. But, to me its not big deal. The auto transmission is smooth, as is the 5-cyl. engine. The DRLs are a great safety feature.

  GMC canyon disapointment - 2005 GMC Canyon
  By pman - May 23 - 1:21 am

  I have a vibration at 48-54 mph, which is considered normal by GMC. Fuel mileage with the 4 cylinder averages 15-19 mpg at best. No adjustmets for the seat backs, no exterior key lock for passenger door. not much help from GMC. Its probably the last GMC vehicle I will buy.

  By chris - May 13 - 5:15 pm

  I have had this truck for two months now and I love it. The ride is smooth and comfortable. I have had nothing but compliments from everybody thats seen it. The back seat is very roomy considering its a truck.

  I love this truck - 2005 GMC Canyon
  By chris - April 13 - 6:04 pm

  I have only had this truck for about a month now but it has already seen snow and hauled some mulch and dirt. It handles great and the drive is smooth. It is very roomy and comfortable. I wanted the interior room to take adults with me. Seats 5 easily. I really enjoy driving it.

  Very disappointed - 2005 GMC Canyon
  By loveledc - April 8 - 11:48 am

  Interior quality is sad, no padding, and very little comfort. 4 cylinder engine is quite an improvement over the old S-10. The engine is quite noisy at low speeds, and gas mileage is sad for a 4 cylinder. It certainly does not live up to the 27 mpg promised. The truck is certainly over priced for value.

  Solid and Smooth - 2005 GMC Canyon
  By indiana - March 23 - 10:28 pm

  GMC did a lot right with the Canyon. Good fit and finish. Great aggressive lines. The interior room is impressive, particularly the front leg room. The two-tone cloth interior is very sharp as well. My only complaint is that the doors do not lock shut on their own..ie..they need to be pushed with some force. I had to think long and hard to come up with that though...it is a great truck!

  Nice truck so far - 2005 GMC Canyon
  By Ron - February 2 - 1:13 am

  I really enjoy the ride of this truck. The seats are comfortable. I have used the truck to pull people out of ditches and it does it easily. I have the Z71 extended cab with a 5 cyl automatic 4X4. My truck has the side steps and at first I thought they were useless. When someone slammed their door into the side steps and not my door, I really liked them. I have about 11,000 miles so far with the only problem is getting out of 4 low.

  Great truck - 2005 GMC Canyon

  This truck looks good and has plenty of room. Bought it for my 16 year old son. Very easy to drive with lots of safety features.

  Canyon uncovered - 2005 GMC Canyon
  By Rqquillen - January 3 - 7:28 pm

  The valve line has had to be rebuilt twice for under sized valve springs at 12,000 miles. There is a glitch in the valve spring strength to allow the recovery of the valves themselves. I am dissapointed that they dont offer the 6 cylinder in the motor. The 5 is enough power but it may give problems later. It need to be offered with 16 inch tires. The 15 is just too small.
