Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2006 GMC Canyon?
What I like about mine is the extended cab and the rear sliding window, the 5 speed manual trans. It rides low and when it comes to moving it ranks right up there. With some weight in the back, winter driving is problem free.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 GMC Canyon?
I would include key access to the passenger door, for some reason my truck only has key access on the driver door. This is embarrassing when I have to walk around to gain access from my door , reach over to unlock the passenger door then expect my passenger to open their own door.

2006 GMC Canyon Review:
All around I am very pleased with my 2006 GMC Canyon, with gas prices going up my 4 cylinder manual is all I want.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 GMC Canyon?
I received what I ordered.
BUT!!!!!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 GMC Canyon?
Key entry to passenger side door lacking. Had I noticed it when I picked it ip I would have demanded a lock be installed. I drive my Mom and several friend around and being the gentleman that I am, I would like to open the door for them first. As it stands I have to open my door first, reach over and unlock their door from the inside leaving them waiting... not the most appealing scenario.

2006 GMC Canyon Review:
Again, other than there being no key access to the passenger door I am more than satisfied with my 2006 ext. cab, 5 speed manual.

The Canyon Crew Cab is a fun truck to drive around in. Handles really well (4x4) in snow. A little lacking in space for 3 kids in car seats.

Exterior appearance

2006 GMC Canyon Review:
The build quality is horrendous! The doors do not seal and have no adjustment and are bend to fit. The seat material is garbage and already shows heavy wear at 12k miles. The a/c does not cool in traffic. Alignment was way off. Rear main seal seeps, power window go up crooked, no ash tray. The arm rest on the door is very hard and elbow gets sore after an hour on the interstate. There's trash in the paint, and vehicle was delivered to me with known defective tires and on and on and on.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 GMC Canyon?
Love the road handling and the fact I have a six foot bed, yet four doors.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 GMC Canyon?
I think the interior material could be upgraded a little. It is a little cheap looking.

2006 GMC Canyon Review:
I used to drive a Dodge Ram 1500 at 15 MPG or less. Since even the Dakota gets only about 17 MPG and I needed a truck, I test drove the GMC Canyon. I have a 5 cycl, automatic, with FWD. I just love it!!! Best truck I have owned in the compact category. Gas mileage is anywhere from 20 MPG to 25 depending on my payload, wind...etc. This truck handles sssoooo much better than the Dodge Ram did and I really like Dodge products. Interior may not be as fancy as Dodge but I can live with it.
