2001 GMC Sonoma SLS review from North America
"GM could do better, shop around first"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad fuel pump at 5000 miles.
Another bad fuel pump at 5005 miles.
Broken door handle for third door.
General comments?
Vehicle is a little expensive for what you get.
With the 2.2 liter engine, long driving is painful due to lack of power.
GM should be ashamed about the gas mileage, I average around 19 mpg with a four cylinder, my neighbor averages 17 mpg with an 8 cylinder.
Reliability has been very good.
This is my second Sonoma, and probably my last Sonoma.
