2008 Chevrolet Colorado W\T review from North America

Nothing at all. Except for the brake light switch failed, replaced under warranty.

Great little truck.

I got the W\T model because I wanted basic, rubber floors, crank windows, manual locks, stick shift, etc etc... and that's what I got.

The 2.9L 4 cylinder accelerates awesome, it's got torque from a low 900RPM lug clear up to the 6,000RPM redline. Pop it into 3rd at 55 to pass and you're gone, right now. Very snappy for a little pickup.

The transmission has good spaced gears, seems to keep the engine pulling hard no matter where you shift at.

It handles very much like a small car, you can tell it's kind of light and skiddish, but more than stable enough to inspire confidence. It goes where it's pointed, and then comes back again perfectly.

I bought this truck for a commuter, and I wanted a small truck. Mileage is usually between 25-29, got 32 once. By comparison my 96 F150 that was my daily driver was getting between 11-15, and driving 100+ miles a day... well... got expensive to say the least.

The seats are comfy, and the cruise is a big plus. The A/C works great and the ABS and other electronic gizmos seem to work very well.

I haven't really hauled or pulled a lot with it, yet. But the couple small loads I have moved with it it seemed to handle them with ease. I mean, obviously it's not going to pull a house over, then haul away all the rubble at once, but it's more than respectable for a small truck.

The only complaints I have about it, are I'm a big guy and the pedals are kind of small, and the body panels seem to have the structural integrity of a pop can. The frame and basic structure seem to be very solid though.

Overall, an awesome truck for the 15K sticker price.
