Chevrolet S-10 Pick Up Is Not My #1 Pick

by jo.com Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10
Apr 13 '00 - Updated Mar 01 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Can haul a lot, little maintenance
Cons: Not a comfortable ride, 2 seater vehicle
The Bottom Line: Although having a truck has its good points I would not buy The Chevrolet S-10 again.

This review was revised but it is an early review!

I am not crazy about this truck. I see I'm in the minority. We got it after having Minivans for years. The kids were grown, but we still wanted something with room to haul things...

by kaseyroo

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: none that outweigh the problems
Cons: breaks down every 2,000 miles

We bought the Chevy s-10 truck because of the look and the fact that we thought that Chevy trucks would be reliable and last a long time.

I love the third door option on it and I think that it would be a difficult truck to have people in...

What I expected and more

by eusmlle1
Jul 19 '02 - Updated Jul 20 '02 

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

Pros: Smooth ride, comfortable seats, nice appearance, good commuter that can haul my stuff
Cons: Could do with 20 extra horses, seat latch, traction with 2WD
The Bottom Line: Pleasantly surprised. This is a sharp looking, smooth riding commuter vehicle that's been 100% reliable for me so far.

I originally purchased this truck to as a commuter and to keep unnecessary miles off of my 97 Corvette. I have been pleasantly suprised by how much I actually like this truck. I was able to purchase a very clean fairly low mileage (31K) ext cab LS...

Again Pleased With An S-10

by MuffinMan
Apr 28 '00 

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

Pros: Looks, mileage, reliability
Cons: In the regular cab, lightness behind

The other day, I signed the paperwork on my second late-model Chevy S-10. My first one was a sharp-looking '96 four-banger with the 5-speed,
black, with a gold pinstripe and the LS package. Among other things, I put 7,000 miles on this terrific...

quick, sassy & fun to drive

by medisinwoman
Dec 16 '99 

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

Pros: price, maneuverability, gas mileage, hauling ability, insurability, & fun to drive.
Cons: lack of room, light weight. & some time you can feel a very rough road.

The Chevy S10 is cute, sassy, & fun to drive. Being a small truck it's great for many of the things you need a truck for, but you can still get into a parking place with out difficulty. I bought my S10 because I needed a truck for hauling my art...

1998 Chevrolet S10 LS 4WD V6 4.3L Auto Loaded

by Arand0n
May 23 '01 - Updated Dec 17 '05 

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

Pros: Powerful V6 engine, Beautiful exterior and posh interior, Comfortable ride and good handling
Cons: Transmission lag when shifting down to pass, few squeaks on rough terrain, trouble with trim?
The Bottom Line: Read the reviews and then compare for yourself is my best recommendation. Why the heck is the S10 rated so poorly? It is a very good truck.

Date: May 23/2001 Reviewer: Adrian Ladouceur Product: 1998 Chevrolet S10 LS 4WD V6 4.3L Auto Loaded I bought this truck despite reading many reviews that do not speak favorably of it (I will elaborate on this later). I have never owned a Chevrolet ...

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

Pros: Easy driving, reliable
Cons: Not enough room for a growing family

The Chevy S-10 pickup that I have is my first truck. I had no idea how I would take to driving it. Especially since I was the one who would drive it the most. Now being a woman, I always prefer a small and simple car but after driving this truck I am so...

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

Pros: good gas mileage, comfortable
Cons: small

We bought our Chevy S-10 extended cab a year ago. We traded in the truck we had because the payments were too expensive. We were going to have a baby, and we wanted a good vehicle. The S-10 is a good reliable truck, but it is not for a family with a...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Looks sharp, Drives well
Cons: Too many defects, Mediocre economy and Poor performance, Mechanic and Mechanically unfriendly

I would first like to point out that I do not own a 1998 s-10, but my father purchased one new in 98' and I have driven extensively and therefore consider myself qualified to give an opinion.
This base model s-10 with 2.2 litre was purchased new in...

Pros: dependable, sporty, affordable
Cons: small size

I am currently halfway into a 3-year lease of a Chevy S-10 pickup. I am very pleased with the vehicle and would even consider buying one. It is a very dependable and fun truck. The only negative about my S-10 is its small size. It can be hard to...

Jan 12 '00 

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

Pros: Cheap, pretty reliable, comfortable
Cons: It's a bare-bones kind of a truck

I take very long road trips on a regular basis. I have driven my Chevy S-10 from LA to Chicago and back on my way to Tijuana through San Francisco. That's a long drive. I thought the plain foam bench seat and the lack of cruise control was going to...

Jan 08 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: solid engine so far, decent power, decent brakes
Cons: interior problems, poor warranty response
The Bottom Line: Dont buy it, the interiors are crap, and it won't hold much value for trade in.

We bought this truck new in 1999, and were happy with it for about 2 weeks. It had less than 2000 miles on it when we noticed that the lumbar support in the driver's seat wasn't working, and that the passenger seat would not lock into place. This is an...

Pros: style,colors,and third door
Cons: limited space

I previously owned a white Chevy S-10 pick up so when it came time to buy a new one, I researched small trucks and I was excited to see that the Chevy s_10 came out on top. I love driving this new truck because it is so smooth. It is so easy to clean and...

My husband and I own a 1998 Chevy S-10 extended cab with the ZR2 package. We have taken many off road adventures in this truck! Living in a snowy area, I often drive it as the snow is falling. I have yet to have a problem with the anti-lock brake system...
