Great little truck

by opinionated3 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100
Aug 12 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfortable cab, decent mileage, nice sound system
Cons: 4 cylinder engine lacks acceleration

I have working for small computer service company for over six years, and we cover the entire state of Oklahoma and into Texas and Arkansas, this leads to a lot of driving well over 40,000 miles a year.

We were required for the first six...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fun to drive & comfortable as well as safe
Cons: Only one back seat

I wanted a pickup that was easy for my wife to drive & park as well as one that looks good. I have a 99 Ext Cab 2 Wheel drive Stepside 3rd door. I love the third door but wish there was two seats in the rear. The one seat works ok if only one of the...

Great in foul weather.

by emuelle1
Jan 24 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Lots of power, comfortable, sticks to the road.
Cons: Limited in cab storage, not too great mileage.
The Bottom Line: If you can afford the payments and insurance, buy it. Put weight in the back, and it will stick to the road, no matter what.

I'll start by saying that the truck I'm rating is my fiancé's truck, and most of my experience with it involved a Christmas road trip through two disaster areas. We are getting rid of it, but that has more to do with the high payment and insurance and...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: reliable, inexpensive, fun to drive.
Cons: poor traction in bad weather

I must say that I have preferred General Motors' vehicles all my life, and the six months that I spent with my 1999 GMC Sonoma only confirmed that. In June 1999 I purchased the truck simply because it was the cheapest new vehicle on the lot, or in the...

Good But Uncomfortable and Sluggish

by fcwmjw
Dec 21 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Small, easy to park, no rattles or air leaks
Cons: Terrible seats, not much pep in tight situations

The Sonoma I bought has the standard cab. One problem that appeared immediately after driving off the lot was the radio quit. Returning to the dealer left me with a hole in the dash. Dealer had removed radio to send for repair. Six weeks and several...

A little bumpy

Jan 18 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Sporty look
Cons: Somewhat bumpy ride

I happen to own a 1999 Sonoma and love it! Yes, it has a few downfalls. I bought this truck because I wanted a truck with some power and carrying capacity. One downfall is that you have to buy a truck with more options such as four-wheel drive to get...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Styling, Handling
Cons: Price, somewhat lack of quality

My GMC Sonoma is a good little truck, however there are better ones out there for a much better price. My little bunny's sticker price was almost $22,000 and isn't even four wheel drive!
I've had a few problems with little things in my truck such...

I like this truck but be sure to get the 6 cylinder

by shstrang
Jun 16 '01 - Updated Jun 19 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Nice design, third door for extended cab, CD player can read all CD-R's
Cons: 2.2L 4 banger under powered, low stock stereo wattage
The Bottom Line: If you want a small size extended cab truck it's hard to go wrong with the GMC Sonoma/Chevy S10. Get the V-6.

My '93 GMC Sonoma was a single cab, everything worked, drove well, had 117K miles on it and paid for. But my wife needed a trade in for a new car, so I gave her my '93 and decided to buy a '99 extended cab Sonoma. I like this truck and I like the way...

The Sonoma is a great truck..The only complaint that i have is there isn't enough room on the passenger side..It gets kind of cramped over there..This truck is smooth riding..It has really great gas mileage..We drove from Alabama to Kentucky and back on...

Nice Drive

by pdoneill
Dec 20 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfort, Ride, Size
Cons: Power, Number of passengers

This is a truck for someone who doesn't want to feel like they're driving a truck. It gives you the feel of a truck (you're up fairly high, you can take potholes, curbs, and bumpy roads pretty easily), but overall it drives more like a car. The ride is...

Pros: great value!
Cons: windows drip if opened a little during rain

My name is Jerry and my wife Kelly and I bought a new GMC Sonoma Extendcab in July of 1999. This is probably the best investment we have made since we have been married. The Sonoma Extendcab has a third door that makes shopping a breeze! No more chucking...

I love my 3 door stepside truck.

by robzrhino
Jun 16 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: 4.3L provides very good power, has very good brakes (w/ 4 wheel abs discs)
Cons: The OEM CD player and speakers are low quality.
The Bottom Line: This truck isn't too big and w/ a 4.3L has plenty of power.

I believe that the 3door stepside SONOMA is the best looking truck in its class. It isn't too big li ...

Affordable Enjoyment

by o_utkin
Mar 17 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Very Smooth
Cons: Design

GMC scored a coup last year with a sporty Sonoma pickup that feels like a sports car when you hustle it around a freeway exit ramp.
It's back this year, but even better because it has a new instrument panel, second-generation airbags for both driver...
