Its got the i-5 which I'm very pleased with ( great milage, I get ~20 wit lots of city driving... plus its pretty peppy ), lots of room for hauling people and stuff around. Overall its a really good truck for my lifestyle, lol
I read a lot of car enthusiast magazines, and also Consumer Reports. For some reason, there seems to be a bigger disconnect between magazine writers and owners in the case of Colorado/Canyon than about any vehicle I can think of. The magazines say it's slow, crude, a gas hog, has a cheap-looking interior, and on and on, but the people I know who have these trucks like them. What counts is the people who drive them every day, so it's good that owners see these vehicles differently than the people who do magazine road tests.
