What is the reputation of the I-5 engine and the Colorado/Canyon trucks
in general? I really wanted something with a V-6 and a standard trans
but that seems to be hard to find in the GM world. :(

I dont own one, but a close personal friend has an extended cab
Colorado with it and is very happy with it. He drives about 43 miles
one way to work each day and says the gas mileage is better than the
89 2,8 powered S-10 it replaced. He has had it two years now with no
issues.  His daughter in law has a Hummer H-3 with it and has had no
problems ether. Both are happy with the power.
