The ZR5 is a fun and sporty truck. This truck is not to bulky to handle. It looks great, but is also very practical!

Review

Had the truck for only a month (It's my third S-10)Very comfortable and roomy for a small pickup. Don't really care for the no-choice black-only interior. Still is an eye-catching design outward. I prefer the looks over the Colorado, mainly because of the odd wheel-well shape on the Colorado.

Favorite Features

4-door room. Just-right size. Nice ride. User-friendly dash.

Suggested Improvements

More powerful lighting, interior plastic has cheap feel. Better interior color choices. Trash those thick plastic wheelwell surrounds.

Review

I have owned my S-10 Crew cab for 3 month now, and have taken it from the outer beaches of Long Island up to Plattsburgh where I now live. It is a happy median between a fast car and an off road vehicle. Meaning while the suspesion is great, it lacks ground clearance. But being lower to the ground makes it hand real well when cruising at 80-90mph on the highway. Chevy is coming out with the Colorado next year which seems to be a nice truck, look at the specs. S-10 has more torque has the proven 4.3 v6 which was used in Syclone in the early 90s. Where is the improvement? .

Favorite Features

. 4-wheel disc brakes are excellent. (New Colorado doesn't have them).

Suggested Improvements

more ground clearance for the crew cab

I am very happy with my truck, it is a fine looking vehicle, truck/car. I can haul the items that I could'nt in my other car. I have plenty of room to take up to 4-large people with me.It has plenty of power, with 4-wd. Check it out at your local Chevy dealer.

Favorite Features

4-wd, leather seats, heated, automatic.

Suggested Improvements

Needs switch for automatic transmission to change out of over drive to 3rd gear.This has to be done now by moving the lever from overdrive to 3rd gear.

Review

My satisfaction with my '97 S-10 inspired me to get the 2004. I put 114,000 basically trouble-free miles on it. I haven't had the opportunity to seriously use the 4-wheel drive yet. The interior and exterior styling are great. The ride and handling are superior. Haven't found any faults yet. I will review again next year.

Favorite Features

I like the exterior styling. Not a lot of curves.

Suggested Improvements

The only suggested improvement is to keep making the S-10. Don't replace it with the Colorado.

Great so far

Review

Only had it for about 1 month so far but really enjoy it so far. I bought a black one. Looks really sharp, I thought. Rides real nice and very comfortable. Got a good price too with the $3500 rebate. Of course the gas mileage is not the best but already knew that going in. I sold my 98 Grand Am to get this one. I already had a 98 4cyl. ex-cab s10 that I really liked and seemed solid with no troubles for the last 2 years since buying it used. It helped me in my decision to buy the 04. I still use the 98 to run around town and work truck. Will use the 04 to pull the popup camper on long trips and in the snow.

Favorite Features

Comfortable, looks sharp. Sound system is great too. Rides pretty smooth for a 4wd also.

Suggested Improvements

Of course better gas mileage but so far that is the only one.

Review

I owned a Dodge Dakota for 9 yrs and put over 140,000mile on it. I recently bort a chevy s-10 crew cab, and now wonder what I did with out 4doors. It has plenty of horse power. I take it on the outer beach about once a week, and it just goes. This 4.3 has been around a while and proved its self as a good engine. I looked at the Colorado before purchasing my s10. Infact I was even waiting for it to come out. But when I went home and did my homework. I hurried and ordered an s10. Some of the feature that the Colorado will not be getting, 4 wheel disc brakes, 250lbs of torq.

Favorite Features

4 wheels disc brakes. Push on the fly 4x4

Suggested Improvements

the zr5 needs more ground clearance.

Review

The only thing that I wish I would've looked into more on this truck was the gas mileage. I get 15 city 19 highway. When I had my Cavilier, I was filling the tank up maybe 1 a week, and I noticed that I fill this one up maybe twice a week. A bit disappointing, but a great truck.

Favorite Features

I love the interior, the 4 door, with back seat is excellent. It's great thing to have when you have a family (children) and you still want a truck, but don't care for the SUV's. The radio is great and the features to switch to 4 wd are simple. It's a wonderful ride and truck to have.

Suggested Improvements

The mileage. That's the only big complaint I have.

Review

I have two young daughters, 5 and 2, yet wanted a pickup. Bought the S-10 after a lot of research and shopping, comparing it favorably to the Tacoma (pricey) and F-150 (couldn't afford 4 doors plus 4WD). So far, so very good. It's a lot of fun to drive, handles exceptionally and was a tremendous value after the $4,000 rebate and other discounts. One suggestion: Buy a light color. I bought the dark, Indigo blue and, while I like it, it seems to scratch easily to a white undercoat. Otherwise, I bought a loaded pickup (all power, 4WD, cruise, CD, etc.) for less than $18,000, NOT including my trade. Until Ford makes a Ranger four door, I think it's hard to beat.

Favorite Features

It looks great, rides solid and the size is perfect for me (5 foot 9) and my young family.

Suggested Improvements

Quibbles: Door handles feel cheap. The window tinting's a little dark for my taste. It gulps gas, but I knew that going in and it is a hefty V-6 with a good payload and trailer capacity, given the truck's size.
