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.

Best ute so far

published

I usually stick with hilux's. But had to look elsewhere as hilux don't have auto in xtracab. Best decision i made. Much more grunt, more comfortable and much better tow vehicle. Tows our caravan easy. Electric steering took a while to get used to, but i appreciate it now. So many extras standard from 3inch exhaust to transmission temp gauge. I would highly recommend the 2017 colorado.

Reliable...

published

I don't love it but hubby does, seeing as its a manual... I like the cup holders and the room in the back lol. nothing seems to go wrong with it much but quite often slow to start and blows a lot of smoke on a cold morning. might be because its a diesel. looks tough and the aftermarket reversing camera is definitely worth it as we got a canopy and its hard to see when reversing without it

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.

Not bad for a ute

published

This ute is reasonably quiet, the engine and transmission are smooth. The suspension soaks up bumps quite well. It seems well put together with no squeaks or rattles. There is plenty of power from the engine at take off. The soft suspension however doesn't help much with the handling when pushed hard. I have driven a Ford Ranger and would take the Colorado over it for the greater comfort.

Really great Vehicle

published

I have a 2009 Holden Colorado Turbo Diesel, from New. Have never had any problems with it, and have only had to replace the tyres, fan belts, and the battery the clutch and brakes are still very good after 144.800klms. I must admit that I have had several New Vehicles, but this is the best so far. This Vehicle has been very very reliable.

Love our Colorado

published

My husband has had 3 different makes of twin cab ute and the Colorado is the best of them all. It pulls our caravan without any problem and is also very comfy to ride in. Fuel costs for this car are about average for these type of vehicles. Nothing flash. Will have this car for a long time but will get another one when the time comes.

Been a Perfect Car

published

Bought the 2010 Lee 4wd in 2014 with 68k on the clock, have now added another 60k and it hasn't missed a beat! Most expensive repair I've had to do was clutch slave cylinder at a 110k. With the rest being minor, (battery, air con re-gas, & interior fan replaced) pretty good on fuel, 10km/100 around town and down to 9.7km on the open road, have traveled form Albury to Darwin three time (4000km one way) and has never let me down, runs smoothly, and was comfortable to travel in on the highway (love cruise control) has done plenty of off reading and aging has always been reliable, 4wd system has worked flawlessly.

Great Vehicle

published

Great performance, fuel economy, comfortable to drive. Great control system, Nav, Apple Play, Phone bluetooth easy to use and works. Find new features everyday I drive. Tows extremely well. Handles and drives well. Good 4 x 4 features, Grade breaking works well when descending. Havn't used for serious 4 wheel driving so unable to comment. Only complaint would be Headlights not bright enough and lack of cup holders and storage. Minor complaints only.
