This is my second Colorado I've owned now, I traded in my 2006 this year back in Jan for my 2012 Colly. (2wd Reg Cab, 2.9L 4-cyl. W/ 5-speed manual) While my 2006 certainly had a few minor electrical issues to deal with, (PCM dying, ground packs not making connection, MAP wiring) my 2012 has been pretty rock solid so far with 64k on the clock to date.(only had to replace the A/C air re-circulation flap motor) I know this little truck backwards and forwards mechanically, it's pretty easy to work on IMHO and parts are cheap. With even more HP than my 2006, old school Silvy looks, great fuel economy for a truck, hauls everything I need it to and fun to drive manual trans, I love this little truck! ^_^ b Looking forward to another 10-12 years with my 2012 Colly!

During the winter time, it drives horrible in the snow.

Chevy Colorado 4x4 has never let my family down
I love my 2012 Chevy Colorado. I live i n very rural and desolate area in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and the winters here are tough! My Colorado has never let me down when it came to getting me and my children to town when we needed things from town, during a snowstorm or ice storm. I feel like Chevy is a household name and they stand behind their products to make sure me and my family are safe
Tommy R

Chevy Colorado - would recommend.
My truck is a reliable smaller sized truck. It gets everything done that I need it to without the bulkiness of a larger truck. The truck is comfortable to drive long distances in and has basic features. I have not had any problems with this truck and would recommend it to my friends.

Not a real truck but okay in a pinch.
There has been multiple issues timing chain failure, poor shifting, steering problems poor brake life, good fuel economy great air conditioner, very sluggish performer, the seating position is quite comfortable and it is quite roomy for a mid-sized vehicle, probably wouldn't buy another but wouldn't stop someone from doing so.

Good little truck can haul and does good on gas.
Little truck good gas mileage can haul a lot of little things can tow jet ski. Room for just to but that's ok. It is a stick shift.

I still hear Colorado calling me.
The Colorado truck runs smoothly, feels comfortable, and looks extremely sharp. It's my very favorite vehicle I have owned, and I plan to get another one when the time comes. It's been a steady, reliable vehicle with little maintenance or upkeep. It's well made and safe to drive.

My 2012 Chevrolet Colorado is very smooth to drive and overall I think It's such a great truck
What i dislike about my 2012 Chevrolet Colorado is that it does not have an aux cord so i always need to have a CD playing or the radio

My Chevrolet review, a short spiel on why I like my Chevrolet.
I haven't had any problems with my Colorado. As for performance, I pull a trailer, hauling a utv. This pickup is the most reliable vehicle I have owned. It has not left me stranded anywhere. The Colorado is very comfortable to drive. As for features, not the least and not the most.
Johnny K
on February 2, 2021
My hot green truck is hot.
I love this truck! It is not full of bells and whistles but it gets the job done when I need to. It is reliable and it has 86,000 miles on it but the only problems I have had was replacing the coil pack and tires so far. The gas mileage is about 18 mpg so it takes about a week per tank. I plan on getting another Colorado when I can afford it.
Roy A
on January 17, 2021
It is black all over with a pretty paint job on it.
I do not have any problems with my truck. It really rides great, the only thing is that, it sits really low. But other than that, it is a really good truck. It is black all over with a CD player and has cruise control. My interior is also black. I have four doors so that makes it easier for people to get in and out of the vehicle. I have not put any rims on it yet. I really like my truck and the way it looks and rides.
John H

Interesting details: 1) cool ac. 2.9 and 2.8 are so slow but saver gas. Gas saver.
My Chevy Colorado 2012 is really good car for small business, but sometimes I feel that is too small, however Chevy Colorado supposedly are not a good car because some people thinks that the engine and transmission have a lot problems, but that depends a lot at the way the you drive the truck for example I been driving the truck for 15,000 thousand miles and still having not problems.
Artie G
on December 25, 2020
Great vehicle. Overall reliable. Common engine issue.
Moderate on gas. Strong build and reliable. Though the engine in the 2012 Colorado model has a common crankshaft issue. Breaks the engine down. Very expensive repair when it inevitably arises. Other than that I love this vehicle. Use it for both regular driving and farm work. Tow capacity is not great, but I do not expect a great tow package from a truck of its size.
Stacie I
on December 16, 2020
It is dependable and reliable vehicle.
It is very reliable and comfortable. It is dependable and when repairs are needed, it is usually a quick fix. It is good for work and for the family. I would encourage anyone to buy this vehicle for pleasure or for work purposes. My children like riding in the truck and we can take it anywhere that we need too.
Jonathan P

2012 Chevrolet Colorado truck.
My vehicle is reliable and comfortable with a good towing capacity. It is great for long road trips and gets very good gas mileage. The truck bed is long enough to handle most loads anyone would need to transport, while still allowing good towing capacity.
Rod w
on December 7, 2020
It is a dependable vehicle.
I really like having a truck because I live in a rural area and need one all the time for hauling things. I only wish I had a little bit bigger engine for more power. So far it has been a dependable vehicle.

That it is safe to drive and you can carry 5 people in it.
I love how it drives and sets up high. I like that I can haul things in the bed. I like that it has a back seat for my grandkids. It is not loud and has 4 wheel drive.

This truck has a slide through steel tray in the bed for easy storage and access.
My Chevy Colorado helps me get things done. The custom tool covering for the bed is particularly useful for securing my tools and equipment. The 5 cylinder engine gives performance and efficiency when and where needed. The cab is roomy and comfortable.
James J
on October 21, 2020
It is a good buy for all truck buyers out there.
I think it is a very good ride I have been looking around for a while for a truck that was nice and this was it. I had it handled very well and has a very nice tow package. I would recommend this vehicle to anybody's looking for a truck. It was also good buy.
Jack L
on September 16, 2020
Very strong working mid size truck worth the money and a powerhouse.
Already have had problems with pass lock not working correctly had to replace writing 6 months of buying. Also had to replace a tail light switch. Also have had to replace a wheel bearing. I switch oil out every 3 months and so far I have made it to 80000 miles on the trucks since I have bought it, still runs strong besides the usual problems with these trucks.
Ryan H
on September 11, 2020
Great truck that can go anywhere.
Easy to drive. Very reliable and is 4x4 and can go anywhere. Confusing seats. I wish I could tow more with it but other than that I would highly recommend it. I have a camper and grill guard on it. I also added a touch screen DVD player and weathertech floor mats...
Emma M
on September 7, 2020
Do not buy it if you are ever going to have a passenger in the back. I mean, ever!
I can load a lot in the truck bed which is great. It is a 2 door so has a small back seat which is the most uncomfortable thing I have ever sat in. My back hurt for days after. Just because the back is small, doesn't mean that you should skimp on comfort. Truck are not cheap!
Regina A
on August 25, 2020
Reliability is the most important thing about my colorado.
I like my 2012 Chevrolet colorado. I purchased it new and it has proven to be very reliable transportation for me as I have had no major issues a all with it. I don't get as good of gas mileage as I thought I would, however for a truck it is acceptable. I wanted a smaller truck and this model fits the bill perfectly and is surprisingly easy to handle. The body style itself is extremely pleasing to me, and I can honestly say I have not seen a better looking truck style out there. It is an extremely comfortable ride as well. I have driven this car to work 5 or 6 days a week consistently, as well as several out of state trips and I can say that it has always been more than reliable for me. Without a doubt, if given the opportunity to do it all over again, I would. I have never regretted my decision to go with the Chevrolet line of trucks.
Betty T
on August 25, 2020
Beauty and reliable performance combined.
My 2012 Chevy Colorado has been very reliable. I love how it drives and rides. With over 1. 5 ton towing capacity it is quite a workhorse for it is size. It drives very well while towing, even in mountainous terrain. It is very peppy and gets great gas mileage for a truck. The cloth seats are very comfortable and are easy to clean with a damp cloth. I love the way it looks. There is not anything about it I do not like and I cannot imagine trading it in on anything else.
B M
on August 12, 2020
It's a think to get me from here to there
I like it being a truck. And that it has room in the cab. I like the manual locks and windows. Wish it was manual transmission. Don't need the onstar service, wish I could've had it not installed
Gabriela D
on August 8, 2020
My vehicle has berry high tolerance to heavy rains and bad weather
Air conditioning problems make it hard to enjoy the car due to the fact that it gets really hot. But other than that the car has a performance rate of 100 because it works and it has a good amount of space for a small single family. Safe and affordable.
Alicia W
on August 8, 2020
It is good for hauling small things.
I am not very fond of the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado and some of the reason is that is that it is a slow, stiff ride, wide turns, defected window mechanism, not good on gas.
Chrystal B
on August 7, 2020
Easy to drive, good gas mileage.
It is great because it seats 5 people and is also a truck used for working and can haul whatever we need to. Easy on gas also, does not use oil either, but have noticed an issue in the cooling system, the temperature stays a little above half way and that problem needs to be addressed, also have a light that keeps blowing, it is a turn signal.

Awesome truck overall and has great performance.
It drives wonderfully overall. I have not had any issues with it since bought it. I do like all of the features it has to offer. It gets pretty decent gas mileage and I do not have to fill her up very often. Otherwise she is a beauty and I absolutely love her! I would definitely get another one of these.

Colorado crew cab work truck.
I have a crew cab Colorado work truck. It's A nice little truck for getting around the city and hauling groceries or small items. I have a cover on the bed so that limits what can fit in the truck. It handles like a car but is roomy like a truck. It gets good gas mileage. For the money it is a great little truck.
Thomas M

Great truck for work and visiting job sites.
This vehicle is provided by the company I work for. It is very reliable and comfortable. I have driven it on many trips of four hundred miles plus with no problems at all. Even with over 250,000 miles.
Casey H

The feeling of the steering wheel does not make me uncomfortable.
The comfort of my car is upmost. I love the feeling of always getting in my car, when it's clean. The performance is outstanding, I have yet to have to get any new things fixed or done to the car. The miles on my car are fair enough considering the car size and how far I actually drive.
James K

Great hauling truck, for small to medium loads.
No issues or problems, great vehicle, great for hauling. It gets the job done. Seatbelts have a recall, and door locks have a recall as well. Has a strong bed for heavy loads. Back seat is small, but can still hold 4 to 5 people. I like it and will not trade it. I drive up to 300 miles per day.

Reliable 4wd midsize pickup truck.
Four wheel drive works great in all weather and conditions, especially snow, pickup bed is small but adequate to transport most furniture and recreational toys, interior large enough to comfortably seat four, gas mileage adequate for a truck, no problems other than routine maintenance required in the fifty thousand miles I have put on the vehicle, just under one hundred thousand miles on it currently.
Wyatt N
on November 16, 2019
Great value smaller truck.
It is great for an older truck. It is a bit small. I wish I had gotten a Silverado but this was more in my price range. Even though it is a smaller truck it is comfortable on the inside. I feel it is a good value for the money. Still runs great even with higher mileage. Body looks good no rust or wear.

Aaron E

2012 Chevrolet Colorado drives smooth and sits well!
The vehicle is great, it drives really well. As far as comfortable riding, it holds 5 seats, I would say that only 4 average adults could fit comfortably but smaller people could hold all 5 I am sure. The truck holds about 17 gallons of gas that gives you about 300 miles to a tank roughly. For what I use it for it is great, not sure what anyone else would use it for but as an everyday vehicle it holds up well.
Justin W
on August 17, 2019
2012 work truck Chevy Colorado gets it done.
Works great, has unfixable engine light problem due to non factory gas cap good gas mileage heater works well and engine gets to temp quickly has good power for hauling capacity. The computer system does have problems finding tire sensor unless tank is three quarters full or more.

It has great gas mileage.
Great performance in drivability and dependability. It has room for all we need to travel with and that includes the dog. It has great gas mileage. I fill up once a week locally and I drive on average about 80 to 100 miles per day. On a 7 1/2 hour trip I fill up no more than twice one way. Comfortable on long trips and is very nice to drive.
Courtney S

7 years later, and it still feels like the day I brought it home!
I bought my vehicle used, and it has been reliable ever since. I have only had to change the brakes once and oil change and brake fluid change is regular maintenance. I have over 100,000 miles on it after 7 years, I have taken multiple trips across the country with it, and the gas mileage is not as bad as people would think when it comes to trucks. Since it is not a full-size truck, it is a little bit more lightweight, but still has plenty of room in the bed, easy to parallel park or park in general, and it has four doors and 4 wheel Dr. Which makes it perfect for carrying more passengers, loading up more items, and driving through different weather conditions. I did change the radio out, but it came with a standard CD player, ability to change the radio and your normal hot and cold settings. One thing I do like extra about the temperature settings is a button you can press with a snowflake on it to make it much colder when you want air-conditioning. The cruise control is easy to use and also a big plus!
Gary B
on July 31, 2019
225k miles and counting great dependable long lasting truck.
It has been good so far had some brake line issues but otherwise it is been great. It has around 225k miles on it as of right now and counting and is a real great work truck that can be used as a fail driver or even a grocery getter or just taking a ride with the whole family. As long as you take care of it then it is great.
James C

2012 Chevy Colorado work truck
2012 Chevy Colorado is a great truck. My specific model is a work truck model. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a luxury truck but it has everything needed to get you from point A to B comfortably with plenty of space to store stuff.
Derek D

If you change your own oil, you can only use synthetic motor oil.
What I like most is the fuel efficiency of the 4 cylinder engine. I also like the cab space for a compact truck. I moved from a full size truck with a v8 into the Colorado so I miss the power sometimes, but since I do not do any major hauling I smile at the fuel pumps more. I also like that regular maintenance items like oil changes, tires, and brake pads will be less expensive. I took a road trip from Tennessee to Montana in 2017 and the only real complaint was the power loss when climbing the big horn mountain ranges in Wyoming. I think the 4 speed transmission should have been a 5 speed for better gear options.
Randy M

No major work needed. Only oil changes, no engine or transmissions trouble at all
Smaller than a large full size truck. Good looking. Easy to steer and drive in town and the highway. Good gas mileage.

My vehicles a beautiful green color.
So far I haven't had any problems and I have had it for a few years commuting back and forth from my work which is a 30 minute commute. It runs great and it is so much fun to drive. Overall a very reliable vehicle. I have always loved Chevys they're such reliable vehicles.
Jack P
on April 26, 2019
A very tough and sturdy car.
It has stayed sturdy and resilient over the course of 3 years, not a lot of wear and tear regardless of the high use. The seats are extremely comfortable and have stayed clean regardless of lots of food being eaten on them. Overall a very good purchase and a good deal for the price.

Lack of basic comforts and necessities.
The vehicle is fairly low maintenance, but the windows are manual and rolling them up or down is both monotonous and tiring. The vehicle also lacks a CD player or mp3 input. It is also quite cramped as the middle seat is incredibly narrow and does not allow for much elbow room.
Serenda L

How to handle.this kind of car / truck...this is a big truck.
The only problem that i encounter here is always poop up engine heat or engine cold', I think just need to change the thermostat, other that everything is good, not putting you down in the road..the tires , the motor , machine and everything is.okay.. Good service for everyday..especially when your working place is in the mountains or high places.

Blue 2012 Colorado for a city boy wanting a big country truck.
2 seater, blue in color, XM radio with FM, am, tons of presets, Bluetooth but only for calls, limited storage space in cab, somewhat good mileage, ac gets nice and cold pretty quickly, kind of a smaller gas tank, parts and smarts, parts and smarts.

Audi car perks and why I think it is heat.
It performs great and is very comfortable. Always works and is very consistent. Does not usually need a lot of work. Do not really know but about cars but I really love it. Runs very smoothly on any types of roads including the highway and even on back country roads. Would definitely recommend the car.
Chris S
on January 21, 2019
Not bad for a 2012 Chevy Colorado.
It has plenty of legroom in both the front and back. Gets good gas mileage for a small truck. Older models can let in quite a bit of road noise which can be annoying. My 2012 does not have Bluetooth or an auxiliary cable plug. According to Kelly blue book the value has really stayed over the years.
Connor R
on January 16, 2019
It was nice and I would highly recommend getting one for the future.
I enjoy my car a lot. I had limited problems with it, and it ended up being better on gas than I thought it would be. I highly recommend getting a 2014. Chevrolet camaro in the future. I have other friends that have had one in the past and they all would agree with recommending one for the future.

Truck buying 101. Truck has served me well.
