Chevrolet Colorado Review
The 2008 Chevrolet Colorado is a compact pickup from auto giant Chevrolet. Compact pickups are just that, compact, with a focus on maximizing bed space and minimizing overall size. As such, the cab is small, very small, and very sparse. This is the main flaw of the Colorado. It has solid safety ratings and a decent performance level, but the sparsity of the cab and vehicle really hurts it in the end, this is for someone who only cares about the bare minimum. Performance wise there isn't much to complain about, but not much to rave about either. You can get the truck with a 2.9-liter four-cylinder engine or a 3.7-liter five-cylinder, putting out 185-horsepower and 242-horsepower respectively. You can get the truck in rear or four wheel drive, the 2 wheel drive gets 18 city 24 highway manual or automatic, with the 4WD manual coming in at 16 city 22 highway, automatic squeezes out an extra MPG city on the 4WD model. There has been some question in regards to the acceleration and power of the truck, with some reviewers claiming it did not perform satisfactorily. Either way, at $15,000 it's a decent compact pickup.
