Three things: Transmissions, Radiators, Thermostat Housings....my god.
Yeah, that 2.8L V6 was a massive turd. The TBI Vortec 4.3L V6 was better, but the enhanced Vortec 4.3L V6 with EFI was where it was at; for the time, at least. Which, I guess I should've listed my first S10. It had the 4.3, but it was the TBI version. I loved the truck, but was always disappointed that it wasn't the "enhanced" (as GM called it) 4.3. I rectified that later by trading it for an S10 SS with the enhanced Vortec 4.3. I really loved that truck. Still miss it.

That little car would have been insane if it had came from the factory with the STi turbo motor. I'm not saying that I would own one, but I would probably own one.

All vehicles in the left lane traveling at/below the posted speed limit; disappoint me.
Any 18-wheeler in the left lane at any time; very disappointing.
All vehicles operated by an idiot texting; disappoint me very much.
Oh...I forgot; any Chevy truck that thinks he can out run my little Ecoboost F-150 is disappointed when they try.

Toyobaru twins. Sounds great on paper. Then you actually drive it. Inside it feels worse than some used pos scion from '98. I've never had the "tin can" feeling more than when I started driving that thing. The only time its "fun" is when you are pushing it to its absolute limits, which doesnt take much with the prius tires.
2.3L EB Mustang. Another one that sounds great on paper. Wasnt bad driving, but it made you instantly just want the 5.0, and what the hell is with the exhaust note on that car. Its a turbo 4cyl, yet nobody has any exhaust setup that gets it even close to other typical turbo 4cyls that can be made to sound decently well.
I had a 2016 2.3T. It sounded like a good and affordable car when I bought it that would be fun to drive. The second day I had it I wished I had gotten the GT. I had it for 1 day shy of a year and couldn't ever get used to the lack of exhaust note and couldn't see spending the money on something different to make it sound like fart can. Traded it for a 2007 RS3.

I have the 4.0 in my mine and since I’ve had it I’ve only had to do the T Stat housing. However the previous owner had to do 3 radiator replacements. Transmission has held up so far. Been a good car to me so far but I’ve heard horror stories from others. Glad you had a good experience! I wish I had the V8. The 4.0 is just underpowered imo.I loved my 09 Explorer and my wife's 08 Sport Trac. Both we V8s. Only issue was broken exhaust manifold bolts on the Sport Trac.
GM should put the new LS based 4.3 in the Colorado.
You have a lot to say about a car you've never owned.
