Have a 1100 miles so far and have been very happy. Love the way it drives and have been getting excellent gas mileage with the V6. Getting 26 mpg @ 70 mph. Very peppy with the V6, I believe it out performs my 2013 Silverado. The Infotainment system is very nice with great sound. So far the only thing that I am upset about is the lack of a CD player and auto 4 wheel drive option. I live in Michigan and enjoyed the option of auto 4wd when the roads were slick but not heavly snow covered. Has plenty of tow ability and love the 6 yo 7 mpg more I an getting over the 2013 Silverado.

Nice truck but seat back moves

I have had the truck about 6 weeks. Nice looking truck inside and out. Shortly after buying I noticed the front seat back moves so I took it back to the dealer. They said nothing was broken. They compared it to other trucks and said it was normal for this truck. Not liking the answer I took it another dealer and they said the same thing. I have a hard time with this. I have a call into GM and they don't seem to care. There was a recall on the 2015 for a loose seat but nothing happening on this one. I have never experienced this in any other vehicle.

Bought this truck on a Wednesday took it back to the dealer with electrical issues Saturday. Dealer has had ever since. More than 2 weeks as of this post. Dealer support is average GM support is piss poor. I really like the truck but this is not acceptable. GM needs to do better at standing behind its products. After all it was we the people that kept them in business they should take better care of their customers/owners. I have now had a headlight assembly replaced. Window regulator. The interior has more rattles that I can count. Rear sliding window whistles, dealer blames me for this says it’s cause I put a tonneau cover on. Wish I had bought the Tacoma.

2016 Colorado left me stranded

Purchased a new 2016 Colorado to replace my commuter vehicle 2007 impala with 185,000 miles , truck has 2000 miles and left me stranded. blowing fuse on injector bank on left side of 3.6 gas engine, dealer working on resolution . the trucks front power driver seat is uncomfortable on 2 hour drive as seat bottom doesn't tilt , I know its a truck but my 2002 Silverado crew cab seat beats it hands down. The 4x4 shift button can be bumped into 4x4 with your knee and no light on dash to indicate its engaged. Transmission shifts hard up and down in upper gears. Its a great looking truck but very concerned about reliability on having electrical issues this early on , I may trade for a Silverado Pros truck gets good mpg , easy to park and drive in the city. update 1/2/2018 Truck now has 26,000.00 miles on it. I am very happy with the fuel economy . The truck does handle awesome in snow and ice and the rear diff lock ,with hill assist get you going without need to shift in 4x4. The truck handles a 5x10 trailer very well, I am impressed . I still don't like the front seats and use a seat cushion in the bottom to make it level. I think all the recalls are now fixed. All the auto makers are rushing their products to market again and testing their product at the customers expense. Bring back the standard 5 year /100,000 drive train warranty and have the confidence to stand behind your product. With sticker tags rising on automobiles to assist covering wages and overhead costs, you cant skinny up quality on the backside to your customers to cover margins.

Let me start out by saying I absolutely love the 2016 Colorado! We traded in our 2009 Traverse for our 2016 Colorado in an effort to both downsize (we are empty nesters) and prepare for some more than casual towing (we have a boat and are planning on getting a camper). The Traverse had limited towing capacity, which was really impacting what we could buy in the way of a travel trailer. It also had limitations for cargo hauling, especially if the cargo was oversized and could not fit in the cargo bay. We looked at a GMC Canyon and was wowed by the options (especially the leather), but we also wanted a truck that we could do some work in if required, so the Colorado Z71 trim better fit the bill. It is a much quieter drive than the Traverse, with a comprehensive and fairly intuitive infotainment system. I do miss the CD player option, but with most folks going for digital downloads instead of discs, I do understand the move away from CD players. In the approximately 1990 miles we've driven it (300 of which was from the dealer driving it in from out of state), we've thus far taken in on a trip to Chicago and the performance was excellent. Obviously not the mileage of a Cruze or other economy type car, but comfortable in the mid 20s for mpg. The view seems to go on forever (my daily driver is a 2010 Camaro, with some serious view issues out back), and the rear backup camera is a huge plus. We opted for some after market accessories (floormats, soft cover, spray in bed liner, mud flaps, bed mat and running boards) which really decked it out. I recommend the running boards; short folks like my wife and I greatly benefit from the extra step in and out of the vehicle. The Colorado fits nicely in the garage with a little room to spare. I'm looking forward to years of service, hauling and towing in comfort and style with our new truck. I recommend the Colorado for anyone who is looking for a size down from the Silverado sized trucks. Update October 2016: If it's possible, we have fallen more in love with our 2016 Colorado than when we first drove it home. We have two other cars that we use for daily driving, so even this far into our ownership we haven't rolled 10K on the truck, but we have definitely gotten our money's worth thus far. It tows our boat with ease and makes running errands such as dump runs easy. It has become our vehicle of choice for road trips (shocking, since I drive a Camaro) and the functionality of the driver infotainment system really makes driving a joy. If you haven't driven one, I highly recommend taking one out for a spin. Update April 2017: The love affair with the Colorado continues unabated. In addition to towing the boat, it now is our primary tow vehicle for towing our new camper. The tow package helps keep the transmission from overheating (and killing the overdrive), but it sure sucked up the miles per gallon. On the return trip from getting out camper in Illinois, we went from averaging about 22 MPG to 8. I think a lot of that was also me learning to tow the camper and how to massage the gear shifting while towing. We rolled 15K miles this month, and are looking forward to many more years of service with the Colorado. Update April 2020 We rolled 40K on the Colorado recently and still love it! I can't justify a new truck with the Colorado still operating so well, even with the technical interfaces being dated from 2016. Only complaint is that sometimes the transmission seems to bog down when accelerating from a dead stop. Not sure if that's a feature or a flaw, but it's only mildly annoying at the moment. I still get compliments on the truck and I still enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who asks. I haven't kept track of the improvements incorporated since we bought ours, but they can only make a great little truck better.
