1998 GMC Sonoma SLS review from North America
"Got my moneys worth and then some"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Except for normal wear like a battery, tire replacement and alternator at about 65000 miles, the only major expense was an fuel injector replacement at 75000 miles.
General comments?
This truck with it's 4cyl manual transmission has very slow acceleration.
Seating is very comfortable on driver side, but floor space makes it feel cramped on passenger side.
Gas mileage OK, but not what you would expect from a compact truck with a 5-speed manual transmission.
