Loved it so much we bought 2!!

published

We purchased a 2016 LTZ, we found the car so reliable, we owned it 4 years and never had a problem. It towed our large caravan like it wasn’t there.
We have now upgraded to the 2020 LTZ and are loving the additional features and cosmetic improvements.

Purchased in March 2021 at Holden Dealers.

Colin the Colorado

published

I bought this vehicle in 2009 and must admit to being a little apprehensive. I have owned 4x4s before but never a dual cab.
I so glad I did as this the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It never complains, it’s just point and shoot and it works every time. After 257,000 klms it’s still as strong as it was the day I drove it out of the dealership.
Would I recommend this vehicle, without question!! I have been asked a few times why don’t you update and my answer is always, Why!!



Purchased in December 2021 for A$47,000.00.

Great for towing, loads of power!!

published

Purchased a 2017 Holden Colorado RG LTZ back in October last year and still smiling when I see what I'm driving home. This vehicle is four door, and is great for my family and also my work place. I often tow a caravan, a boat and a box trailer all of which the Colorado handles with ease and pleasure. The back seat is wide and deep enough to fit three child/baby seats across the back, without compromising leg room in the front of the cabin.

This vehicle has build in Satellite navigation, front and reverse sensors making parking a breeze as well as a top quality reverse camera. This features are on top of a top ancap safety rating, with side, front, back airbags and grade braking for the big down hill slopes.

Never buy a Holden vehicle again

published

Oil consumption very high; fix = thicker oil ???
Engine vibrates heavily always; fix 1 = replace tyres ???. fix 2 = replace front wheel bearings ???. fix 3 = that's the way they were built, tough !!!!. Go away and live with it as we (GMH) are not going to do anything about it !!!
Interestingly GMH have replaced a large number of engines under wty.

Don' buy

published

My Colorado has never been on a dirt road, 4 wheel drive used once to for 5 metres it now has a rattle in the passenger side door a vibration and rattle across the dash when going over bumps which on Aussie roads is a lot. It does not have the technology as other vehicles the same era, no sat nav. It has 40,000 on the clock. I can't wait to trade it in after seeing these reviews, next time a Toyota. Low beam is like driving with candles in front, especially on country roads when the car in front goes out of sight + lots of other annoying deficits

Love my colly

published

We purchased our Colorado as a tow vehicle and to be able to get away camping. The car is comfortable and is pleasant to drive. Tows our caravan extremely well both on the bitumen and the gravel. Like the hill start assist as well as the graded braking. The audio system it very good and easy to navigate the controls. Fuel usage is good at around 8-9 L/ 100KM unladen to around 14L / 100KM toing the van and the tray loaded.

A great reliable vehicle and excellent ergonomics

published

My 2014 LTZ Crew Cab has been excellent. Mountains of power and sounds great. I haven't needed to upgrade the sound system yet but may in the next year. Averaging 8.5 litres per hundred usually spend $90 to fill (never below a 1/4 of a tank). Overall very impressed with the Colorado.

Comes in handy

I have never owned a ute before. I have used it to go form Brisbane to Perth and many long trouble free journeys. Had the Holden road side assistance to which came in hand for a flat battery and three. Great up the beach and so comfortable. Go out and buy one and enjoy life a little more.

Damn good ute and tow vehicle

published

Bought this after testing most of the opposition, overall package and price was what we wanted, it also came with a lot of already fitted extras, and specifically wanted it for towing our camper. First trip with 500km on the clock, we did 2300km to Mt Moffat and Carnavon Gorge, handled the trip brilliantly, comfortable for all 4 of us, and towed beautifully. Averaged 12.5 l/100km, but included some pretty knarly 4wd tracks, and deep sandy sections towing, so was pretty impressed.

Mediocrity rules

published

Agree on fault. 2015 LTZ used 2 litres in 3500 km. Dealer fix, replace 5W/30 oil with 5W/40!!!
Still on dealer suggested 3,000 Km test for comparison. Poor design rectified by dodgy method.
Also at 50,000 Km today battery boiled and expanded. Wty in 4WD is 12 month, while same battery in sedans is 30 Month??? (AC Delco original).
Would I buy again, Not likely.
