Any mail on the Colorado 7 Wagon?
« on: May 03, 2013, 10:38:53 AM »
I have searched the forum and read a bit about the utes, but has anyone got any feedback on the C7 wagons?

They look well priced and has specs similar to the larger 4wd. Has me thinking.

Had a chat to the dealer about them when I got my car. They had one they were evaluating.
From  memory, he said that for all intensive purposes it was the same spec as the ute.
I wasn't overly impressed with the plastics in it, it just felt cheap.
Drove well though.

From my dealings when considering Colorado Ute 6 mths ago don't even consider without asking for an 8k discount. Dealer was clearly desperate to sell one to me....they are prepared to drop big $$ to get a sale. Scared me off to be honest and went the 4k extra for the Mazda. Bargain hard!!

Was on list for new tow tug about 2 months ago.  Would prefer mitsubishi challenger to these. The 2 different ones we drove had horrible brakes ( long and spongy) , no feel in the steering ( thought i was driving a valiant) which is why we went for a drive in different car.  But the 2nd car was much the same. These were not to our liking, some love them.

BIL is getting one in a month or so, he does over 120,000 km's in a year so should get some feedback on what he thinks
