Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Colorado?
I like the looks of my crew cab truck.
Drives great.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Colorado?
Back seat head rest is very blinding when you're backing.

2006 Chevrolet Colorado Review:
I have a 2006 crew cab.
While inside my truck, my doors locked and I couldn't get out - even the driver window would not open. Had to come home, give the keys to someone to key open my door and let me out.
Also air condition works on 4 and just sometime on other temp. Door locks only works sometime I think I have a major electrical problem.
My truck only has 30,000 miles.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet Colorado?
Style.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet Colorado?
Problems - Passlock lights comes on and truck won't start for 10 minutes, $800 to fix.

2006 Chevrolet Colorado Review:
Problem with Passlock security light. Truck thinks it is being stolen and it isn't. The Passlock light comes (sometimes it doesn't) and the truck will not start for 10-15 minutes (most of the time). Cost to get checked is $99, repairs in upwards of $700. Should not have to do these types of repairs with 37,000 miles. Auto dealer not very helpful.

2006 Chevrolet Colorado Review:
the colorado is a terrific truck, however, you cannot put a tool box onto one with a crew cab because of the fuel tank placement, it is right above the driver wheel well, and i have yet to find one to fit it dimension wise.

Given the gas prices I would certainly say better fuel economy. If gas prices were not an issue I would like a little better performance

2006 Chevrolet Colorado Review:
The ride I find better than my wife's Forester (no kidding). The interior is comfortable for me and overall quality seems very good at 1 year of ownership. Routine maintenace is very easy.
