Your reviews are second to none. I really appreciate all the detail you provide without the silly gimmicks of other channels.
Chevrolet is roaring to the top. This truck is awesome, lots of power, super excited and impressed with this machine... Go GM!!!
Sounds like a fucking lawn mower lol
Tom Rossi What's it supposed to sound like? After all, It's a V6 tuned for truck duty. The opening start up and pan shots at the beginning was a cold start.
haha exactly my thought... sounds like a old diesel truck
Yea not a brand new 2015 ...well what else was i expecting lol
My thoughts exactly
I was thinking the same. Sounded like a tractor.
I have one of these and I love it. Chevy has set the bar for the mid size class.
Im more of a Ford guy but i really like the look of the new colorado and silverados especially the z71s
Never really been into trucks but there is something about this Colorado that makes me love it! This review just added on to my interest into hopefully purchasing this truck nice job Kyle!!
Man the Colorado/Canyon twins have come a long way, as have your videos Kyle! Keep it up man.
Not saying I dislike the newer videos, however I miss the older style videos from used car dealerships such as your parents and the startups of each seasons/ months of the year. Keep up the great work! It's awesome to see where you've come from when I first started watching your videos! (2010)
❤ My best favorite truck ever in almost 8 years! ❤
I bought a 2015 Colorado same trim as this one. Had it for 15 months and traded it in. Biggest pet peeve was the 3.6 motor. Under powered and laggy. The longer I spent in the cabin the more I hated it. Cheap plastics and seats uncomfortable. Love the exterior styling though.
The seats has a lumbar support, if you didn’t adjusted right, is virtually a pain being on the front seats!!
These trucks sound a lot better in person. I've driven both the 4 and 6 cyl versions as well as the manual version, and I have to say I'm really impressed by the truck. Everyone needs to realize that having the fully loaded versions of everything isn't all that important. If it gets the job done it gets the job done.
I'm considering buying this truck. I saw one the other day I think they are beautiful well done chevy!
Wow Kyle, I guess if I want more info on the new Canyon than this, I will have to talk to your attorney!
This is an excellent and very comprehensive video.
I can appreciate how much time you spent on it.
Well done, and thanks!
TJ
Kyle, I know you have a 2015 Mustang video already waiting to be uploaded, so I'm not going to bother asking. I would really enjoy watching your review on some 2015 Hyundai models. Such as the Sonata, Elantra, and Genesis/Eqouis. Hyundai looks so beautiful now, it's amazing how big the Korean industry is becoming! They're like the new Japan! Anyway, thanks Kyle if you read this. Great review as always.
I luv how he considers the trucks as family
dang man youve changed a lot, i remember when you would just review any car you could get youre hands on and it was only maybe 10 minutes. ive been subbed for every now and i cant wait to see where you go now
i really enjoy the depth of the review, you talk slow enough to where i can understand every part, unlike other car reviewers who act like a person at an auction. good stuff my friend.
For a truck, the interior is very nice. I think it's a very sharp looking truck. The exhaust note is kinda.. meh. I think the height is the perfect balance between ground clearance and usability. 4 wheel disc brakes is nice. I'd opt for the V6, longer bed and towing package personally. Looks promising, but time will tell how reliable and durable they are. Looking forward to what Ford comes up with in the new US Ranger to compete in the segment. Even though the Ranger remained mostly unchanged for many years, it's known to be a very durable, reliable truck. I have a 2011 that I bought new three years ago and it has been flawless and has been excellent at work, commute, travel and play.
Great review. Always enjoy watching your videos. Do you plan to do a dealership start up video anytime soon?
I have a 2005 model. While it is an engineering nightmare, it looks much better than this vanilla version with the sharper body lines
Do you have the regular, extended, or crew cab?
I think you forgot to mention that this will be available with the 2.8 duramax next year, which I think is a big selling point for a lot of people, but great video as always!
Jared Eaves Yeah, I didn't talk about it for this one and just decided to focus on the gas options as it's all that's available at the moment. I'm sure I'll do the diesel when they come out.
Right now, it's just Chevrolet press talk. I'll believe it when I see it. If Chevrolet wants to bring something that I'll surely buy, it would the Chevrolet Montana 1.3 Litre Turbo Diesel. That's probably not going to happen either... The American automotive industry is screwed up in terms of choices... lots more in Europe by comparison, like the Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 Litre TDI and the Great Wall Wingle, which are comparable trucks to the Chevrolet Colorado.
Theodore Thorpe Well we do have very strict emissions in the States and that probably plays into the equation... in addition to traditional disdain some Americans have toward diesel engines...
I think these are great trucks judging by what I've seen so far. My dad bought the last gen Canyon new with the off road package and the 3.7 i5 it has about 90k miles on it so far and has been solid, especially during the winter. Great everyday truck
Kyle you're the rain man of cars. Keep it up man
I was looking forward to your review of the Colorado. Top notch job as always Kyle, thanks.
I didn't think that they still made a key separate from the fob anymore. It would make much more sense to use the switchblade key they have had on their other vehicles.
I absolutely love this this truck I'm buying one when I can and thank you so much for all the information your videos are awesome!
Thanks for showing us Kyle, keep up the good work myself and I'd say a lot others really do enjoy it
I'll be honest when I first heard that thing fire up, I thought it had an exhaust leak or something. XD Still, it is quite a nice truck, and that 3.6 should be plenty powerful for it. I can't wait until the diesel versions arrive.
Very thorough, balanced, and great quality review. (I'm a professional video producer and I appreciate your attention to detail, especially as a 1-man band. 99%+ of the videos out there are practically UNWATCHABLE). I just purchased this identical vehicle (took delivery a couple of weeks ago) and I love it! I wish you're video would have been available before I ordered it, but even watching after purchase, I learned a few things and it reinforced my decision. Keep up the good work
Love your vids man. In my opinion, I suggest you do a couple vids on some 80s muscle - Camaro, Mustang, Trans-Am, Monte Carlo, etc... Either way man you got some solid content, so keep it up.
My Colorado finally came in after 3 months and it came in with three 18 inch wheels and one 17 inch wheel on left front oh boy here we go what am I in for
Great review Kyle, keep up the great work. If the srt challenger hellcat is available to you can you review it. Thanks
kyle i believe you're the type of perfectionist :D from the quality of videos the unchangable way of the videos. keep up the good work
Great review. The exhaust sound is similar to that of a lawn mower, which is weird considering it's the 3.6L V6, the same V6 used in the SRX that we currently have on a lease.
Wow the interior of the Canyon IS better. I would buy the Canyon just on that alone. Love your videos.
its funny that the v6 engine sounds like a 4 cylinder and is this the highest trim level that you are reviewing?
That was my immediate thought when I test drove my 19 canyon for the first time...
@Saabkyle04 along with the good review videos, I'm really impressed that you take some time out to answer questions and comments from your viewers. This gains you points in my book. Keep on keepin on
Eric Pe I always try for a bit when the video is fresh :) Thanks for watching!
Awesome review. Clear, concise, informative, and well rehearsed and spoken. No uhh and umms which is a pet peeve for review videos for me. Also this guy shows you the space in the back seat which other reviewers love to omit. Subbed
Top speed of 98??? Are we in the 80's again? Even my grandma's base model Taurus goes up to 110. Wow Chevrolet, way to go!
LincolnLSEV8 Who cares? LOL, you planning on racing?
Hey ricer, it's a pickup truck not a sports car. Who needs to go faster than 98 and did you not see the speedometer went up to 120 mph.
Because everyone needs a work truck that's capable of cruising the Autobahn at 200mph. Only on UA-cam!
Weird, in my country the Colorado can go up to 110mph, in the 2.8 litre
Its got a governor to limit top speed. It could probably break 120 without it.
awesome little truck... hoping to get this with the diesel when it comes out !
Great review, best one I've seen yet.
Impressive review, keep up the good work!
Just bought a similar truck and I like it!
This is the "American" version of the brazilian Chevrolet S-10!
I really like your videos by the way!
I don't know the S-10 it´s 5,347 meters!
I think the Colorado prettier too!
Great truck and wonderful review as always Kyle! We love going to Williamsburg as well! Great place to visit!
specktacular14 Thanks a lot!
That exhaust sounds terrible.
***** I'm just surprised GM usually does nice factory exhausts.
The interior on my opinion is the worst part, too much plastic and it does not seen to fit verry well.
I've seen the GM sisters in person and they have a nice interior. Seemed well put together. Better than the rest of the players in the game. After all it is a truck not a Lexus.
TJC450 Fair point.
brunoraoni What else is the interior supposed to made out of? It is a truck.
Thanks Kyle for making all this videos!
Hey man. Good job on the video. You did a great job. Keep it up.
Wow, it sounds like a '94 Cavalier with a hole in the muffler. Could it get any better??
The exhaust is loud. I love it
Eight years ago today! Still my used truck!
I don't really like Pickups, but the front of this looks great!
whoa nice engine sound!
Great vids man, you are the only GOOD car reviewer, could you review a 2007 saturn sky?
Why? Saturn went out of business.
***** So? What a stupid argument.
Only problem with Kyle's reviews are that if something sucks, he doesn't say it. He just says it is not great. So it is more of a presentation, rather than a review. But best presentation.. Very thorough.
He's got a Pontiac Solstice review on his channel. It's basically the same thing.
James Min He says modest. He doesn't review the car, he just shows details.
What an amazing review. So detailed. You just got a new subscriber. Wow this was not only informative, but entertaining. Not boring at all and I learned a lot. Thank you.
Do you have any plans of doing an indepth tour about a Lincoln Continental Mark III and/or IV? Really like these cars but there ain't any good video's about them! Really like your channel, keep them coming!
The exhaust sound like like my grandfather's Cub Cadet diesel tractor when its no revving.
Great review. You actually know what you're talking about unlike 9 out of 10 of the idiots that do reviews on these trucks.
Seems like a great truck. Definitely beating the competition. How did you like the seating position? Were you able to see out of the windshield easily?
MUCH better than the previous generation!!
beautiful truck! another great upload saabkyle04!
To give you the info *****: This Chevy Colorado also known as Isuzu D-Max & Holden Colorado. The SUV version is known as the Chevy Trailblazer, Holden Colorado 7, and Isuzu MU-X (pronounced as Miyu-X).
I bought one 3 month ago I make 10 000 miles I loved awesome truck
I saw this truck at the Premium Outlets in Williamsburg, VA last Sunday! It had your your youtube info all over it, I was going to wait around to meet you but I didnt wanna be a creep lol.
I'd rather have a CD player than all that fancy crap...looks like it takes a degree to work that audio system. Can't believe people can't function without smart phones these days
When and if you get a chance compare this truck side by side with the previous gen Colorado... That would be awesome.
Nice review! I'd love to see you review the 2015 F-150!
my dad wants this truck so much
I gotta say you probably one of the best
Appearantly, some GM vehicles get a bad rap about reliability. My DD is a Silverado with over 400,000 miles without a single service. My dad used to race a Camaro with about 200k on a different engine that he bought with 90k original miles. It also never had a service. I guess servicing your GM vehicle reduces its lifetime by ~100k miles.
I like the styling of this Colorado...
This seems to be the best review. Cant wait till the 2016 Chevy Colorado 4cyl Duramax, 180HP 365 pound feet of torque. Please do a review on it when it comes out in August of 2015.
This and the Canyon are nice trucks and I seriously thought about buying a canyon, but I didn't for a few reasons. First off I couldn't get that comfortable in the driver's seat due to the steering column, next with the seat adjusted comfortably for me there is no room in the back seat, the back seat has too little headroom, and the seat sits too straight up. Lastly the transmission is jerky when down shifting and tends to lug the engine. I don't think I would have any problems with it if I was less than six feet tall.
Great in depth review 👍
Nice looking truck, but I prefer the Canyon.
The best looking mid sizers at this point.
4:38 I see your THING!
The only pickup I would buy.
Up next: 2015 F-150? By the way, great video Kyle. This is a cool truck
dying for the M Roadster Video
I can't believe you went to my hometown in VA & didn't tell me! I just moved from there to WA state last month. Williamsburg's a nice little town isn't it?
Finally in 301 Club!!!
The Colorado looks cool. I bet a small V-8 would get decent gas mileage, with MUCH more HP and performance. The high revving V-6's are weak in the performance department. And I agree, the exhaust sounds horrible. Kind of like a bad exhaust leak.
Respect from Kuwait 😊😊
فعلا جميلة يل معلم احسن حاجة ان لونها احمر
Hope you're doing a review of the 2016 toyota tacoma soon.
Thanks for the review Kyle! I would ask that you increase your voice volume. I really had to turn it up to hear you.
nice detailed review thank you
Oh shit! Did the muffler all ready rust off?
Evan McRoberts No.....
Thanks for the video. I thought you did a good job with the review. Definitely helpful.
Very nice truck! I want one now
Such a sick truck.
THANK YOU CHEVY!!!! A NICE EXTERIOR ONCE AGAIN!!!!!
Are you going to be doing a review on the 2015 Ford F150 and Super Duty. It would be awesome to see.
Chevys have some of the best interiors in North America, at least they have soft touch materials unlike fords hard plastic on their new f-150
Only complaint is the exhaust system. Terrible, awkward noise. I would strip it and put a custom dual exhaust. Overall, very good looking truck. Way better than the canyon
Do the new tacoma please
No duramax Colorado
How would I go about importing a Chevrolet Colorado to the UK? ideally an Extended Cab 2.5 6speed manual, also the size is plenty adequate for UK roads and not too big as at 70inches wide it is virtually the same width as a Ford S-MAX/Explorer and a Ford Galaxy/Explorer that is an Inch longer, and also the same width as a Ford Mondeo/Ford Fusion, If Chevrolet sold this truck in the UK I might possibly buy it.
To add this Chevrolet Colorado is 74.1inches wide and the Ford S-MAX is 74.2inches wide, The Colorado is 210.5Inches long with a Wheelbase of 121.9inches , The S-MAX is 178.8Inches long with a Wheel Base of 112.2Inches, The Colorado has a Height of 70.1Inches and the Ford S-MAX has a Height of 65.4 Inches, The Curb weight of the S-MAX is 3,843LBS(IB), How much does the Colorado Weigh?
Hey Kyle,
I remember you mentioned that you may do some quick tours of vehicles along side your in-depth review as a way to present shorter videos of used cars?What ever happened to that idea because I enjoyed those shorter videos on used cars like when you first started.
assassin72 There is simply no time for it. I have such a high work load at the moment it's hard to set time aside for things like that.
ahhh, understandable!
assassin72 Thanks man!
Good truck. Porsche needs one.
Kyle, for the next episode Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with Z07 package please and convertible if it is possible :)
I gonna see that at the Chicago auto show
