I did enjoy my s10 extreme, I had the 4.3 Liter v6. It was super fast and felt more like a v8 engine than anything. It was a lower riding truck stick shift, lots of power. The specific extreme model was a very sporty looking truck and 3 door extended cab provided lost of space to fit 3 or four people inside the truck or outside. Although it was super fast, it also went through gas like water. Sometimes I would feel like it drop an eight a tank of gas just starting it. The back end of the truck was very light though and I found myself spinning out every time it rained, which was a pain.

I like the build of the truck except for the drive shaft. I have had the drive shaft repaired and wish they could have built this truck with a one piece drive shaft instead of a two piece. I also have endured little oil leaks from the oil pan but nothing major. I do love the way it handles when you drive it. I like the size of the truck and wouldn't want one any bigger. Its a very comfortable truck and I think the body of the truck has lasted and stood up to lots of weather conditions in the last couple of years. I love the room it has in the bed of the truck. It allows me to bring all my aluminum cans to the scrape yard without any problems. It is plenty wide to also accommodate hauling lawn mowers and bikes. Another part of the truck I like is the keyless entry system it has it comes in very handy when your hands are full. The power locks and power windows are great and love the stereo system. Overall I like Chevy trucks and will continue to do so because of the quality they have.

On this particular vehicle I like the fact that it is really good on gas it gets about 22 to 24 miles per gallon in the city and roughly about 25 to 28 out on the open highway. I have had three of these s-10's and two of them had automatic transmissions. I would highly recommend the automatic transmission option, especially for city driving. And the so model is the ultimate best for head-turning looks, low-profile with a larger engine, ex. 305 v-8 option. This gives it a lot more torque and great take off power.
