The 2012 Chevrolet Colorado is a competent and utilitarian compact pickup truck, but reviewers say the competition outshines it in nearly every respect.
Though the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado is certainly a decent truck, and its base trims are great for buyers on a budget, reviewers find some serious flaws with it. They say its interior lags behind the competition and its four- and five-cylinder engines don’t have enough power for most truck buyers. Test drivers suggest that if you can afford to pay a little extra, a better choice would be to upgrade to a full-size Chevrolet Silverado because you’ll get a more capable and comfortable truck for your money, without much of a penalty in fuel economy compared with V8 Colorado models.
However, buyers in the market for a basic, no-frills utility vehicle may find that the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado suits their needs. Though its interior plastics feel cheap and dated, reviewers say the truck’s features are simple and easy to use, making the Colorado a good choice if you want a basic truck that you won’t mind getting dirty. Plus, Car and Driver says that this truck has "legitimate off-road credentials” in Colorado models equipped with an off-road package.
