1997 GMC Sonoma SLS review from North America
"Economical, fun, looks good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Third door seal replaced at 29,000. Needs replacing again.
Misaligned hood and fenders.
General comments?
Uniroyal tires lasted 71,000 miles. The only negative is the dealer (Hasselwood in Bremerton, WA), they have a non service attitude. GM makes a good vehicle, but I will never buy from this dealer again.
