2006 Chevrolet Colorado Reviews

So far I hadn't have any problems with my vehicle. I keep in maintained and keep up with all services. I love how my vehicle drives. It feels like I'm driving a car not a truck. It is very good with gas and is a roomy for a family of 5. The bed of the truck is perfect. It's not too long or wide. I noticed I can park my truck in smaller parking spots and it's perfect for camping and hauling. You can also get an extender for the bed to make it longer. It's a great family truck!

Very reliable great in the snow. Still have to use some sand bags but not much. Gas mileage is ok. Tires are awesome in the snow and it's a great truck over all. I don't really have much more to say about my Chevy Colorado light blue colored truck I drive to work on occasion. I thinks its over al good truck and it gets the job done for me and want I want it to do in my normal everyday life. As well as going o. Adventures in the mountains whether it's in the summer time or on the winter time I have a lot of fin driving my Chevrolet 2006 light blue truck.

The reliability is great so no problems there. I cannot comment on the performance because I own one with 4 cylinders. No performance to talk about. It gets me from A to B. It has about 140, 000 miles and the only problems I have had is 1). The third brake light would allow water inside the cab that flowed down and into my floorboard and 2). It dies if I apply the brakes too hard from a high speed (having to stop too quickly because of unexpected traffic flow disruption). I haven't found the solution to that just yet but I have read that it may be a. Easy fix. The base version of this truck does not have many features. Am/FM radio, air conditioning, cruise control. . . That is about it. As for the comfort, it is just fine but nothing luxurious.

It's a good, small truck. Limited cab space, but suitable for just one person. Not a lot of storage though, unless you buy a toolbox for the bed or something similar. The bed is a decent size. It allows me to transport all things such as kayaks, furniture, and a four wheeler. There have been limited mechanical issues - but the underside rotted out much quicker than the body. The gas tank especially - which is not a mechanism that can be easily replaced.

It is a truck that has a decent comfort level, not what you expect in a working truck. The seats are comfortable and the little seats in the club cab are great for my grandchildren when I visit them. The bed holds a good amount of materials when I am working on a project. I particularly like the visibility that I have with a truck over a passenger car. The club cab has room for storage, groceries, luggage etc. And it keeps that out of the elements which you do not have with a regular truck bed. I have had no problems with mechanical issues, runs smoothly and has enough power for my mountainous roads. Currently have 86,000 miles.

The Colorado is a great mid-sized truck for what I use it for (mainly commuting to work). The 4 wheel drive capability makes it easy to travel to the mountains and works great! As far as performance, it's reliable, but the electrical items are now breaking down I.e. The AC/ heater only works on full setting, the interior light comes on only half the time, and the gas meter doesn't work most of the time and reflects an empty tank when it's in fact full. That is the only minor issue I've had with the Colorado.

This is a perfect size small truck and it has helped SO many people haul stuff. That being said, it has a problem with the Passlock security system that NOBODY, not even the dealer, can fix. It thinks I'm breaking into it and cuts off the gas to the engine. I am forced to wait about 10 minutes if I keep the key turned to the position in which the lights are on (but not trying to start it) or 20 minutes if, for some reason, I can't do this. I've been to a dozen mechanics, done online research, and the best I've been told is that the dealer would "randomly replace parts with expensive genuine GM parts" in hopes that they "hit" the problem. Why on EARTH was an unfixable monster stuck in my truck like some kind of cancer? INOPERABLE cancer!

I bought my vehicle used in 2013. It has a 5 cylinder engine produces about 225hp. I put a k&n air filter which gives it little more hp and little better gas mileage. Got no problem to get up and go when I need it to. It's an ext cab very helpful to put tools and things coats lunch box etc. I've had a few problems. Biggest issue was the brain computer stop working. That's the biggest job I've had to repair. It's a perfect little truck. Does everything a big truck can do without using as much gas a bigger truck. I bought the truck with 43000 miles and currently have 148000. When I breaks I fix it. Going to drive it in the ground.

The biggest problem with my truck is the gas mileage, only 15 mpg. Also have a problem with tail lights burning out frequently and a water leak around the cargo light. Otherwise it has been a great truck. A true truck, rugged and dependable, a truck I am not afraid to shove a tree out of the road with. I use it in the hay every year. The roads here are less than secondary and are rough with potholes, is only tar and chip for part of it and only gravel and mud on my particular road. Still runs great and other than expected things to replace like muffler, tires, battery, etc. I have had almost no problems with it. Actually had a guy try to buy it from me.

I am not very happy with my vehicle, I seem to always have sensors and vacuums breaking and making my check engine light go off. I find the problem and fix it only to find a new problem or have something new set off my light. It is never anything big but usually something that affects my gas mileage making driving more expensive. I do like that it always seems to work and I haven't had any concerns about getting in and it not driving, and not having to worry about breakdowns or overheating, but it still feels like there is always something minor to fix.

I love that it's a smaller version of the truck I used to have, making it more manageable, especially when it comes to park, as it was difficult to get my old truck into tight spaces. The only complaint I have about it is the "feature" called ignition lock. Ignition lock will lock you out of starting the vehicle if the ignition doesn't recognize the key that's attempting to turn it - the problem is, it malfunctions. The key I use is the key that came from the manufacturer, so it should recognize it. I have to wait 10 minutes to try again, and usually it works, but this is always an inconvenience. I will never buy a vehicle with this "feature" (I use quotes because it is really a nuisance) again.
