Im driving a 2014 Colorado auto and im more than happy with it . More torque than the current Ranger and same kwts. I read a review which said they were a lousy road car, but I really enjoy it on the road from Cairns to Port Douglas all the time. Tows my 6 metre boat like a dream. Uses a bit more fuel in auto than my previous two colorados with the Izuzu 3 litre motors, but they are the most fuel efficient I have found having driven them for 6 years.
Ive only done 9000 kms so far and im rapt.
