Chevrolet Colorado

"Getting used to the automatic gear changing plus manual mode was not so easy. Accelerating and decelerating causes some over-revving if not done correctly."

"Handles good. 7,00 lb towing capacity a reason I bought.Good off-road. I own a farm."

"Engine and transmission pairing is not good. Acceleration from low speeds (20-40 mph) is terrible. Have to really push the pedal down to pick up speed quickly."

"excellent value, handles much like a sadan.....qualith inside and out..acceleration is outstanding...we love this truck"

"It handles great, but the acceleration is horrible. It is never in the power band. It is always in a higher gear than it should be so it is always bogging down when I try to accelerate at a moderate speed. In order to slightly speed up, I have to floor it to make it down shift and then it accelerates appropriately. This is my only real complaint but it is so big that I almost wish I had not bought it."

"the truck does have a problem with acceleration. it isn't quick. takes a while to get back up to hwy speed after stopping/slowing down."

"The transmission will not downshift without really pushing the accelerator which makes it act doggy because in to high of a gear."

"The transmission shift points are erratic. When attempting to accelerate it waits waaaay toooooo long to shift down. When it finally does shift it jumps down three gears so you are at 5,000 rpm and still not going anywhere, but making allot of noise."

"Seats and seat adjustments; sufficient power/acceleration."

"Fuel economy is very good for fairly heavy 6 cyl truck. About 17 in city and 24 on highway @70 mph. Transmission is slanted toward economy. It shifts to higher gears at low speeds. Only disconcerting feature: when you accelerate quickly from steady slower speeds the transmission shifts to lower gears and engine revs more than expected. Makes it hard to accelerate gradually. Probably a tradeoff of economy gearing."

"The transmission/engine tuning make the shifting of the transmission very strange and inappropriate.Shifting into a higher gear and being hard to shift to a lower gear when accelerating. Occasional hard shifts. It's obvious the engine/transmission tuning was biased to far toward gas mileage and away from driving performance."

"Everything is good."

"it is a 6 speed manual and 4 cylinder engine works very ,would not want to pull much"

"Very good handling and excellent AWD performance. Excellent brakes. The 3.6L engine has good power, however it needs to be driven aggressively to perform well because otherwise the transmission makes it lug. Should have been geared lower."

"Acceleration is slow, almost need to floor vehicle to accomplish movement. Vehicle was purchased due to need for tow vehicle behind Motorhome. Definitely meets this requirement"

"The vehicles V6 engine is much more responsive then I expected when I first purchased the truck. It has been driven in the mountains in Colorado, interstate traffic and commuting to work. The excelleration for merging and passing traffic is great! And when cruising the engine is quiet!"

"love the acceleration. Transmission struggles at times to shift properly"

"The V6 offers great acceleration when merging onto highways or when passing. It handles much better than any truck I have ever owned."

"the engine is the V-6 with 305 HP, but the transmission very quickly shifts to the highest gear and when Truck is accelerated, it bogs down until a lot of gas is added. Have taken truck back to CHevy dealer but they claim this is how it works. Very poor acceleration due to remaining in high gears"

"Plenty of power and acceleration. Somewhat of a quite cabin while driving. Comfortable to drive for being a midsize truck."

"NO acceleration. Always in a cruising gear so if you need to speed up just a little, you have to floor it to make it downshift so you can speed up. HORRIBLE driving experience. 300 hp and it won't go unless you floor it. Totally ruins my drives which is sad because it is otherwise a great vehicle."

"Handles and drives very well for a truck."

"After I bought the truck, the transmission had issues. It would not properly downshift. I took it back to the dealer, they worked on for one week and said it was good to go. Took it home and the same problem continued. Took it back the dealer hooked up the computer and sent the data to Chevy tech. They said the transmission was not downshifting at low speeds. I checked the internet and a lot of folks have had the same problem. I have taken it back 5 times and now they say it is a one-off probl..."

"The seats lack cushioning and getting out you tend to catch the plastic on the side of the seat. If they came out with new seats I would pay to have them installed."

"Seats are very comfortable and it has a very nice ride for a 4x4 pickup."

"Has leather seats with heat but no in-seat AC. Seats are uncomfortably hot in Texas, and rarely would I use heated seats. Would prefer cloth seat option or AC in seats for this trim line."

"Seat adjustments; quiet; smooth ride."

"Amazing Vehicle. The styling is perfect. Just a little smaller than a full size vehicle which is amazing. The climate control is perfect. The ride is great and comfortable."

"I drive to work dark early in the morning when it's about 74 degrees outside. My AC is off but every 5 minutes or so it comes on anyway making me too cold. It stays on for about 3 minutes then turns back off. Going to have the dealer look at it but I bet it's designed that way."

"Very comfortable crew cab. Good seats, climate control, and sound system. Very quiet."

"Too high to get into. Liked the older Colorado size."

"everything is great"

"The power seats are limited to up/down, forward back, and lumbar support. Manual control on seat back position but no control on seat tilt so it sometimes feels like one could slide out of the seat"

"It is hard to get in and out of the truck. I thought I could adjust but it proved harder than expected. It is a suppose to be a smaller truck but it seems full sized."

"Seats are underwhelming. Should have opted for the leather seats which are, reportedly, better."

"The seats are uncomfortable in that they cut into the bottom of your thighs. This vehicle has a noise at the drivers ear that may be coming from the rear half door that the dealer has not located to date."

"Good: Seat is comfortable, climate control is OK, noise level is OK -- basically, I have no complaints about the interior and my interaction with it. Bad (sort of): Even the ride is much better than the old trucks I've owned in the past, but I guess I'm used to driving my little Civic SI and the ride and handling of the Colorado is a long way from that. On the other hand, it is a truck."

"low roof line as I need to raise seal to highest level to have clear vision over the dashboard. By raising seat to max height, this causes a head knocker entering or exiting the truck"

"Bad - seats have piping that did into your legs. Not enough control of raising or lowering seat height"

"Truck rides very well on interstate, quiet and without a lot of up/down motions. Front seat cushions should have better side support."

"My 2015 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 is like driving a luxury car. The ride and comfort is amazing! You would not even know you were in a truck if you were blind folded!"

"Seats are stiff, feel more like a bench seat. Noise level is acceptable for a truck, not great. Ride is OK, better with weight in the bed."

"Seats seem fine -- I find the driver's seat comfortable. Noise is OK. Ride could be considerably better, but after all, this is a TRUCK."

"Very comfortable and quite"

"Smooth ride almost like a car. Don't hear any road or wind noise. Added aftermarket exhaust and still barely hear it inside."

"1. Height of truck, short wife has trouble , will have lowered 2 inches 2WD. 2. Clothes hangar behind drivers seat, hard to access and will not hold over 4-5 shirts from dry cleaners. 3. Like to carry magazines, newspapers to coffee shop, no pouch behind drivers seat only passenger, no thought by GM there."

"Only dislike is getting out my shorts pant leg catches on seat recline lever. Have been temped to saw it shorter to stop it’s snagging on shorts"

"The ride and noise levels in the cab are quite good for a truck. The seats, well the only good thing I can say about the seats is that the upholstery is durable. I have never driven a vehicle with such a short bottom seat cushion. Plus the HARD plastic seat bolsters dig into my legs. I’m 6 ft 3 and heavy, these seats are made for a 5ft 6 150 lb person with a narrow frame. I totally hate theses seats."

"The seating is very comfortable, but the steering wheel does not go up as far as it use to on older models and this makes it difficult to get in and out of the Colorado."

"The seats are very uncomtable on trips ,wife does not like to ride in passenger seat."

"This vehicle has the leather trimmed seats and they are extremely comfortable, something I was not expecting in a pickup truck. The noise level in this vehicle is very good for this type of vehicle."

"Bought during a very bad winter and got a good price compare to True Car on Consumer Reports site or the Edmonds website"

"It has a lot of good features, but the price of this fully equipped truck was very high and I do not feel that any car or truck is really worth the price they are asking today."

"The onstar navigation system that came with the truck is the worst thing ever!!"

"I bought the basic Work Truck but it had all the features that I normally use"

"This truck has paid for itself many times over! The price was right and we use it for everything! The towing capability and roominess in the bed make it so easy to transport anything! The Extended cab is large enough for two people to sit in comfortably!"

"Great vehicle and extras for the price."

"From day one, compliments come whenever I am in my own driveway, at the market or a gas station. I love the color and the way the front end looks and enjoy washing it just to enjoy owning it."

"Taken as only styling, it's OK. But it is vastly LARGER than it needs to be to haul 1/2 ton. My prior truck was a 1979 Chevy LUV 4X4, which by today's standards was a primitive lump of iron. But it was only as large as it needed to be to do what it was meant to do. Before I bought the Colorado, I looked around for a new model "small" truck -- there aren't any. The Colorado line doesn't even have a "standard" cab. A smaller truck, with even the same engine, would get better gas mileage and"

"Easy on the eyes, to look at."

"I like the way it looks. As soon as I saw it I knew that this was the truck for me."

"Modern and very good looking style."
