1998 GMC Sonoma SLS review from North America
"Only a V-8 would make it more fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced 2 driveshafts, under warranty.
Rebuilt rear-end, under warranty.
Front brake job at 80000 miles.
On 3rd set of tires.
General comments?
This Sonoma was ordered as a GMC display vehicle, for the Colorado State Fair. It's loaded, ZQ8 suspension package, top end stereo with CD and remote tape player, deep tint glass.
One comment when I test drove the truck was "It should say Cadillac."
Longest trip in this truck was 900+ miles. One-way.
Great in snow or wet conditions.
