Default Anyone have a Canyon or Colorado pickup?

looking at possibly getting into one...i like the looks of the truck (would be the crewcab 4x4) but havent had a chance to sit inside one or drive it yet....i know they have the I-5 engine. Just wondering if anyone has/had one and how do/did you like it? I'm just not sure if i can go from a full size chevy to a midsize truck....My wife has the jeep liberty and its a fun truck to drive for short trips....but i dont think i could do it everyday.....if i was to get this truck it would get a lift and tires right away Thanks in advance...

Wally,

We have sold alot of them at the father in laws dealership. I advise against, they are gutless and hard on gas.

I can't personally agree, but a good friend has the Colorado crew cab with 20k miles and cant wait to get rid of it.

IMHO, the I-5 is underpowered for everything GM is bolting them into.

I am a diehard GM man, worked at dealers for a long time. It hurts me to say it, dont buy one. I dont think there is one out there that runs right. Many cylinder head and valve problems with both the I-5 and I-4 cylinder engines.
