2000 GMC Sonoma SLS review from North America
"It is the best vehicle I have ever owned!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first purchased the truck it had some transmission problems. The dealer fixed it because of the warranty. I Also I have had the broken recliner problem. The other problem I have have had is the broken third handle. I have found that a regular greasing solves that problem.
General comments?
The fuel economy is great on this truck. I average 23 to 27 miles per gallon. It is the 4.3 six cylinder and it is faster than my friends dodges. I have put more than 100,000 miles on the truck in less than two years. I haven't had any major problems since the warranty expired. I still have the original spark plugs, power steering fluid, coolant, and serpentine belt. The truck now has 150,000 miles on it. The six ciylinder gets better fuel economy than the Nissan's four cylinder that I owned previously. It also has much more power than the Nissan did.
