I have had my truck for 4 months and I have put on over 9000 miles on it with no problems. It is fun to drive, has excellent acceleration and is easy to drive.
PEE-UUUU

Bought with 74k on it. 1st and last GMC. Poor gas mileage. AC leaks out in a week and now bad heater core that requires total removal of dash and disconnect AC lines under hood just to remove heater core. Dealer wants $1,100 to replace. Lost my shirt on this truck
Anyone else run out of gas

After 6 days with the truck I ran out of gas becuase the gas gauge didn't work. The dealership was very helpful until they had to pay $2500 then they said sorry you are on your own. Upon further review of S10/Sonoma web sites I see that this gas gauge problem is not just mine. My rear passenger door handle also broke after a couple of months. It does get good gas mileage for a truck, and the 4WD works excellent. Overall, this is not a bad small truck, but everytime I get in and see the low fuel light on and I know it is full, I become angry and want to get rid of it.
Too many problems

I bought this truck used when it had 90K. After having it for only a year the transmission blew on me. I had just replaced the clutch and when the transmission went out it took out the clutch too. I spent $2000 repairing it. I only had the truck for 2 years and I regularly maintained it but in those two years I spent about $4000 in repairs. This can't be normal for a newer model car.
Great all around truck

Truck has been a steady performer with
no more than routine maintenance
costs.Would buy a 2004 if they were
still available in this model.
Great small truck

I drove an auto and it was doggy so I
got the 5 speed. The bed is flimsy
and it has some type of strange idle
memory often starts and revs up for a
few seconds. This is just the way it
is made. I get 23mpg. I had to have
the exhaust replaced underwarranty due
to rattles. other than that no
problems. Do not buy it if you need
room get a full size

Everything about this vehicle other
than personal prefrences opted not to
purchase at time of purchase was
overall very satisfying. I have been
very pleased with this vehicle and
would recommend it to all small truck
buyers.
GMC be ashamed

This vehicle came out in about 1995. It
had problems with handles breaking off
and very bad front ends. At 60000 miles
I had to put $2500 in the front end.
Both wheel bearings gone and the
bearing are in a housing that requires
the replacement of the whole housing.
GMC knew about the problems and instead
of improving the design over the years,
just ignored the problems and allowed
us to keep paying to keep this junk
running.

Never again...This is the worst vehicle
I've ever owned (with the exception of
a 77 Dodge power wagon) as far as
reliability goes.
Mine has a lot of miles but they are
all highway and I have serviced it
regualary.
Shortly after warranty expired I had to
put a $750.00 fuel pump on it, now
theres either a wheel bearing or
differential going out and howling like
a banchee, the transmission is giving
me troubles.
The interior quality is awful, the
steering wheel looks like it has
leprosy, the power windows make noise
and sound like they are falling out.
In brief....I'll never buy another GM
product as long as I live.

A nice solid truck, no real problems
since purchase (although it has very
low miles). Interior is simple and
inexpensive looking but everything is
easy to use. ZQ-8 suspension keeps the
vehicle well-controlled for a pick-up.
3/4 V-8 4.3L V-6 is no smoothness champ,
but it does get the job done.
Love my Sonoma

I have owned my Sonoma for over two and
I can't think of much to complain
about. The only problem I've had is at
one point, the rubber seal around the
windshield started coming off. This
was fixed and covered by the warranty
and has not been a problem since. No
mechanical problems- still runs like
new. I definitely recommend opting for
the V6. It's a lot of fun to drive but
the city gas mileage isn't so great.
Overall, I have really enjoyed driving
this vehicle.

Make no mistakes, the vehicle rides
like a truck, not a car. The feel I
was looking for, you may not want that
up higher feel like a truck mode?
There were 7 return trips to the
dealership for what I see as Q.C.
issues. Such as a loose shock mounting
bolt, a third door latch that spit the
spring out 3 months after purchase,
both seat back handles snapped in
regular service, an obvious flaw in
manufacturing and most recently the
fuel pump needed replacement @ 33,400
miles.
Will never purchase another one.

I have had nothing but problems with
this vehicle. The first year that I
owned it, it spent a total of 46 days
in the shop for multiple repairs. I
contacted GMC to discuss my concerns
about the vehicle and they have yet to
offer any type of an solution. The
problem is that the Maryland Lemon Law
is only good for the first 10,000 miles
on the vehicle. I put 10,000 miles on
the truck in the first 6 months that I
owned it. Just another case of a
company taking advantage of a consumer,
how is one person going to make a
difference to out total sales?
Darn good little GMC

I find it to be an ideal small truck
for everyday beebopping around that I
do. Very manuverable and enough power
to pull a pop-up camper here locally.
