I have had the Canyon for just a few weeks now. I purchased the 2016 model year since there was minimal changes to the 2017 model. I wasn't really looking for a diesel, but the more research I did made me realize it was the right choice. Major factor for me was the reduced pricing (was able to buy for 37K + fees) -would not have bought the diesel if it was over 40k. At that price would have gone with the Sierra. Here are the things I really like so far: Parking is so much easier than full size truck, fits in the garage, crew cab has plenty of room for family of 4, fuel mileage, cosmetically pleasing exterior - it actually looks like a smaller version of the Sierra. The leather interior, infotainment system and back up camera are all nice features. I love the purr of the duramax and can't wait to tow something or go up in the mountains. Here are my complaints: drivers seat does not have enough adjustments and not comfortable on longer drives (I bought a cushion at Costco for extra padding) I am average build, so was surprised abought the comfort level of the seating. The cubbies in the doors are completely useless and hard plastic feels cheap.

I bought 2016 GMC Canyon transmission unreliable. I don't know what to expect next. Dealer can't fix. General Motors said they didn't know how to fix the problem. They were not concerned if it wasn't safety related. If I had any more problems to "get a lawyer." It is still the most unreliable vehicle I ever owned. I don't know when it will go into it's shakes. Sorry I ever thought about this vehicle. I'm 70 yrs. old and this has to be the worst new vehicle I have ever bought and the worst dealership in Charleston, WV. 2018 Same review as before.

I bought the 2016 Canyon, world class handling and quiet ride. Gas mileage remains around 20MPG city driving on the road jumps to 25MPG. Admittedly I am a very easy driver so that may account for the gas mileage. Over all I have to admit GMC's Canyon is one of the best trucks I have ever driven.

This is the best truck I have ever driven, exceptionally quiet, plenty of power, handles well in all weather conditions. The only thing I don’t like is the transmission can’t decide what gear it wants to be in when I make a turn and very slowly accelerate, which causes a slight hesitation. All said, I still give it 5 stars.

Love everything except: somehow at 5’8” I have pushed the four wheel button control into the dash. Easy fix just pulled it out. I had to teach myself how to get in and out. ..... Bluetooth likes to wander between phones and devices so I have to shut off the Bluetooth on the devices I’m not using. ...... black beauty that seems like the clear coat is a little soft.Love the crew cab. Feels very roomy and the sound system rocks. I would buy it again. Love the truck.
