2006 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 review from North America
"Great mid-sized truck with awesome performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the blower fan twice. The original fan and it's replacement chirped like a cricket and would get louder the longer it remained on.
General comments?
The In-line 5 3.5 Vortex engine has a lot of punch, and yet gets pretty good gas mileage. I average about 22 mpg.
Just turned 20,000 miles, and notwithstanding the blower fan, no problems whatsoever.
