I bought the Colorado brand new in Nov 09. Since then have done over 55k on both on road and off road. I have the desiel LT-R version with the 5 speed manual gearbox. When unloaded in both city and highway cycle I achive 8.2ltr per 100km. Loaded towing camper approx 9.5ltr per 100km on the highway. I cannot say that I have had anything go wrong and for the price, would reccomend the vehicle for any one who wants to have a vehicle with plenty of power, the ability to tow whatever, the fuel economy of a car and the ability to travel off road on weekends.
Comfort in handling on road, plenty of power.
Drivers seat needs to have more adjustments, need different tyres to go offroad, the originals are hopeless.

Comfortable commuter to work.good driving position. Comfortable cab. Good power, tows 1.5t caravan with ease. Frugal with diesel. LTR diesal manual 4x4. Capable off road although I don,t push the limits. Comfortable for touring for 2 adults- plenty of room. Drivers seat could have more adjustment like the commodore however still comfortable. Holds the road well, particularly on corners but harsh on rough road at speed. Bad rear visabity with a canopy on the tray, good big mirrors though.
looks, power for towing, comfortable, reliable so far,
Poor rear vision with canopy, lack driver seat adjustment

Had nothing but problems with my 09 colarado massive wining noise since purchased nothing's been done to fix whole engine has been replaced due to bottom block breaking won't engage into 4 wheel drive wining noise keeps getting worse yet Neva fixed should have kept my 2.5 litre turbo diesel Mazda b2500 4by4
Looks good
Everything is wrong with it cost me way to much money won't Eva get another one

I traded up from a Nissan Navara, found the change excellent. I bought the LTR turbo diesel 4 door and have found the Colorado is so comfortable on long trips and pulls my caravan with ease. Can't keep my wife out of it which is strange because she owns a new Mazda 3 which is also an excellent car? Fuel consumption outstanding compared to the Navara I had and no hill is too steep to maintain speed with van behind.
Comfort, fuel economy, power when towing, rear vision is better than Navara
Gear lever has long throws but still ok, stereo hard to read in daylight, limited storage behind rear seat for tools etc. Tyres could be better but all makes I tested had same issue.

Had a ra rodeo v6. Good car, to thirsty though. Bought 2011 colorado lxr auto diesel . Great to own, loads better to drive than petrol, I
would like to know what to do to the auto for towing ?
PS. The arm rest off the great wall fits strait on the centre consul & cheap to buy.
Price, turbo diesel power. Easy to drive.
They need a trans cooler.

Overall a very good ute for its price. Safe tough exterior and also comfortable inside. Needs more storage and greater fuel economy but its very powerful
Very powerful, great solid body. Strong Suspension. Great price. Very comfortable bucket seats. Great sound system.
Uses alot of fuel. needs more room behind seats for storage
