2004 Chevrolet S-10 Review
Fuel Economy
15 mpg
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
Held over until its replacement, the Colorado, hits full production, the S-10 only makes sense as a no-frills work truck.
Pros
Torquey V6, nimble off-road, cheap price.
Cons
Spotty build quality, inferior-grade interior trim, low seating positions, poor crash test scores.
What's New for 2004
The Chevrolet S-10, like its GMC cousin, the Sonoma, is only available as a crew cab 4x4 for the 2004 model year.

Review
Problems with the front end (4x4) front suspension. At 60,000 miles it had to be re-built. Problems with vacuum system and actuators, had to be re- built at 55,000. Nice truck, too many problems.
Favorite Features
Suggested Improvements
Build a better quality vehicle, plain and simple. Put some pride in the build.

Review
I have a hard cover on the bed, so I call it my 4WD car with a large trunk. My wife and I have been to Florida and also to WV and we like the truck. Only 19 mpg on the road with the 3:73 axle, but good acceleration.
Favorite Features
I like the 4WD and the smooth ride. It also looks good.
Suggested Improvements
Bad wind noise on both front doors, sounds like window not closed well. Heater gives off warm air even when turned all the way off.

Review
Although the seat material is real bad its a nice riding truck and the ZR5 comes with a very nice design. The Colorado , to me, has absolutely no storage. You can at least put things behind the seat of the S-10, where the Colorado hasn't even got run for a long ice scraper
Favorite Features
center console on interior roof, storage behind back seats
Suggested Improvements
different material for seats, holds everything
