  I love this truck - 1995 GMC Sonoma
  By Roxy-Ann - July 15 - 1:32 am

  This truck in my opinion is wonderful, my grandfather taught me to drive stick shift in this truck and havent had to replace the clutch yet then I was driving one day and cleaned out a ditch with it at 80 miles per hour and let me tell you I drove that truck right out of the ditch. Now mind you this truck has not been modified or anything just a regular old work truck but the most reliable vehicle I have ever been lucky enough to drive that truck kept me alive. So if anyone is looking for a good truck for a teenage driver this would be the truck for you.

  This is a Mechanics Truck - 1995 GMC Sonoma
  By David - January 3 - 7:01 pm

  Fun to drive with plenty of power for a small truck, even with a 2.2 four cylinder. If you need a truck that you can mod, this truck is compatible with tons of parts, mod kits, and engines. Its an older truck and a GMC, so the exterior metal much thicker than the typical modern truck that dents if you just lean on it. However, you must let this vehicle warm up for about 5 to 10 minutes before you drive it in cold weather or you will break your headgasket, which is a costly repair. If youre low on cash and need a truck, a Sonoma is perfect for you as long as you take care of it, and check your fluids.

  Love this truck - 1995 GMC Sonoma
  By jimog01 - October 31 - 3:41 pm

  I have 259,000 miles on this truck not 1 major issue. I just put on a water pump last month and the starter has started to act up, I think after this many miles and 13 years these should be wearing out. I have had some suppension problems but that I think is more related to driving on the pothole covered roads in Michigan more than the truck. I dont see any issues coming up that will keep me fromsurpassing the 300,000 mile mark.

  95 Sonoma Ext Cab - 1995 GMC Sonoma
  By Bob - September 19 - 9:42 pm

  I have owned this truck for the last 7 years. Overall very reliable. Over 200,000 miles on it, have changed the starter and the battery once. Replaced the exhaust sytem (cat converter rattles a bit). Transmisson started shifting rough into second. I changed fluid and filter and after a little while, it seems to shift smoother. biggest complaint rusted out above rear wheels and in corners of the extended cab. It had to rust from the inside out, because by the time i noticed it panels were rusted through. I noticed wherever GM puts those rubber plugs that is where the truck rusted.

  Worst vehicle I have ever owned - 1995 GMC Sonoma
  By vepj - August 24 - 12:26 am

  This truck caught fire at 7500 miles. The wiper motors have been replaced. The transmission has been rebuilt. The engine has been rebuilt. The timing chain broke at 60,000 miles. The brakes wear out every 5000 miles. I used to carry a code reader in the truck because I didnt know when it will pop a new code. And today the starter died again. The a/c went out at 75,000 miles. If my son wasnt a mechanic and my daughter loves this truck, I would have junked it ages ago. I finally gave it to my daughter and bought a jeep. Now I am happy. Dont ever buy this truck.

  Great little truck for 11 years - 1995 GMC Sonoma
  By Jeff A. - July 12 - 4:32 pm

  Ive enjoyed my 11 years with this truck. Its still going strong with only 61k on it, but Im going to sell it to an employee who needs vehicle and so I can upgrade. Pros: Smooth ride, good handling, nice cab design, lots of room in the ext cab, decent bed room. Cons: The 4 banger could use a bit more power for hiway conditions. Side mirrors are known to fall off by breathing on them (2 times for me). Stock sound system is pretty bad, but easy to upgrade. Repairs: Easy to work on. In 11 years Ive replaced 2 batteries, the a/c compressor, EGR sensor, fan clutch, plus normal wear items like brake pads, drive belt, etc.

  Built on Wednesday! - 1995 GMC Sonoma
  By Jeff va - August 13 - 9:45 pm

  One tough ole bird! Bought the truck in 2000 with 96K miles from my brother. Got 215K out of her before I put her up for sale. Various maintenance items replaced along the way, water pump at 118K, clutch at 126K, alternator at 127K, fuel pump at 179K, radiator at 214K due a cracked tank. Never had to go into the motor. Origional timing chain was still in service when it sold! Truck had tow package with engine oil cooler. I think that and a healthy diet of Amsoil and Mobil 1 greatly contributed to trucks longevity. Would buy another one in a minute!

  151k, so far so good - 1995 GMC Sonoma
  By donw - June 22 - 8:21 pm

  I bought this truck 1 year old with 11k miles. Its absolutely dependable. The CD player quit 6 years ago. It needed new brake pads at 18k miles. I switched to NAPA pads, and now am only on the second set since then. The oil cooler line seeps, and has been like this since 50k miles. Its a minor nuisance, and too big of a pain to change due to its location. The engine mounts needed replacement at 150k. Right now Ive still got 4500 miles to a quart of oil. Hazard light switch is absurdly fragile, and its tough to find one in a junk yard. Over all a very dependable vehicle.
