1999 GMC Sonoma SE review from North America
"Weak engine with generally poor mechanical reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drive shaft fell out at 12,000 miles.
Engine blew at 61,000 miles.
Fabric in seats wore thru at 15,000 miles.
General comments?
Nice interior, but just a cheaply/poorly made truck.
Even though it is manual transmission it has tough time with any significant hill.
