2008 Chevrolet Colorado LS 2dr Regular Cab SB (2.9L 4cyl 5M)
- Review
-
I bought this truck brand new. I could not take the back pain anymore. There was absolutely no lumbar in the seat. Unfortunately, it took some time to figure this out. I had to push the brake pedal to the floor at times to get it to stop. In the beginning, it seemed to have a lot of power for a 4 cylinder. That didn't last long. I started to hear a noise that sounded like metal grinding on metal. That would be the next buyer's problem!

Cut a whole in the side of the seat and blow a little extra cushion in there for lumbar so you can save the customer some money on back problems!

2008 Chevrolet Colorado LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (3.7L 5cyl 4A)
- Review

This is my first small truck and I am very pleased with it. Rides great, has a peppy engine that accelerates quickly. My friends Nissan small truck is not as good as this one. Forget what the editors say, this is a mighty fine truck. Bed liner should be included in the future. I have 6000 miles on it and had no problems. Gas mileage is better than indicated by 2-3 mpg.
- Favorite Features
-
Peppy engine, XM radio, automatic headlamps

2008 Chevrolet Colorado LS 4dr Extended Cab 4WD SB (2.9L 4cyl 5M)
- Review

I bought my 2008 truck new Dec 27, 2007 (it only have 2400 miles on it now ) and it has spent more time in the shop than on the road. If it setup for a few days it will not start and the dealer feels that the problem is resovled but I do not. I am afraid to use this vehicle for out of town trips because I will never know if it will leave me stranded in another state. This is truly a let down since I have been a Chevy man for thirty five years. I feel that a 2008 vehicle should be more reliable than its predecessors.
- Favorite Features
-
The black color
- Suggested Improvements

That this vehicle be made more reliable that its predecessors as for as ability to start when you want it. After sitting for a week it should start right up and not have to be towed every week to the shop for trouble shooting.

2008 Chevrolet Colorado LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (3.7L 5cyl 4A)
- Review
-
After a $5K rebate, took mine home for $23,655 before fees and taxes. Mine came with the 2LT trim w/Z71 off road pkg. So far, no mechanical problems, but wish it was available with a 5 or 6 spd. manual tranny. Am not really sure either why the editor(s) panned it so much. Friend of mine bought a Nissan Frontier and if we're comparing interior fit and finish alone, I'd say they are the same.
- Favorite Features
-
XM radio, sunroof, 5yr/100K mile warranty, and overall looks.
- Suggested Improvements
-
Offer manual transmission on 3.7L engines. Make the sunroof open wider.

2008 Chevrolet Colorado LT 4dr Extended Cab 4WD SB (2.9L 4cyl 4A)
- Review

I got the Chevy Colorado because I was tired of driving small cars. I am glad I did, I enjoy the fact that I am higher off the ground great visibility. Interior is top notch compared to some of the other trucks I looked at, very modern. Has the looks of a bigger Silverado without the pain at the pump. Also the automatic is smooth and after driving nothing but manuals for the last few years, it's nice to not be jerked around. Only complaints I have are the keyless entry doesn't work aall the time the first time and the engine fan is incredibly loud when it's engaged.
- Favorite Features
-
MP3 CD player, smooth transmission, great power for a small engine, great fuel economy
- Suggested Improvements
-
Better reliability of the keyless entry, Engine fan noise.

I opted for the Colorado because of the MPG and for the tow rating. Tows 3500 lbs like a dream! Could not be happier, except that the seat upgrade would have been a wise choice!
- Favorite Features
-
Power and towing smoothness.
- Suggested Improvements
-
Better built seats.

2008 Chevrolet Colorado LT 4dr Crew Cab SB (2.9L 4cyl 4A)
- Review

I traded my 2006 Tacoma for the Colorado Crew cab, 5cyl, 2wd. To be honest, this was my first American vehicle in quite a few years. I was very surprised and pleased with the quality of the truck and the power of the engine. It's a fun truck to drive and has all the creature comforts that I wanted.
- Favorite Features
-
Engine power, OnStar, exterior appearance.
- Suggested Improvements
-
Wish the bed liner was a standard feature.

2008 Chevrolet Colorado LT 4dr Crew Cab SB (2.9L 4cyl 4A)
- Review
-
I don't get the bad "expert" reviews of this truck. It is the only Crew Cab pickup available with a 4 cyl engine. It performs adequately and gets 26 mgh o the highway! She's comfortable, quiet, and her exterior styling is the best in its class. I drove them all, the Tacoma rides rough, the Frontier is worse. It has the best back seat in its class. Don't be swayed by the so- called "experts." Test drive this truck and make up your own mind. By the way, all of the "innovative" features in the Tacoma and Frontier, such as the tie down tracks) will end up more of an annoyance than a convenience. The Colorado is a good solid, reliable pickup.
- Favorite Features
-
Tire pressure monitor. Oil life monitor. Fuel economy. Bench seat (only midsize that seats 6) Auto headlights. Multi-angle tailgate. Asounding performance from 4 cyl engine. Exterior styling
- Suggested Improvements
-
Interior design. More storage needed. Back seat should fold up completely. Bedliner should be standard

I just bought this pickup, but I must say, I love it. The only thing I am not happy with is the tires it came with. They are the General Ameri- Track Tires. I would prefer to have gotten A/T tires with a 4x4

Powerful 4cyl. engine! Excellent handling!

Better factory tires

2008 Chevrolet Colorado LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (3.7L 5cyl 4A)
- Review
-
This is a great truck for running around town. Very quiet cabin when driving around town and at highway speeds. Plenty of leg room and the leather interior is very easy to keep clean. I get around 20 mpg around town, and a little higher on the highway. I have had zero problems so far even though some reviews by rating editors question the quality of build. This is a very nice truck for the price!
- Favorite Features
-
Exterior looks, leather interior with the sunroof,heated front seat, XM radio!
- Suggested Improvements
-
Put radio controls on steering wheel.
