Love my Canyon. Perfect for driving city and neighborhood streets and it handles parking garages and shopping mall parking lots beautifully

[@Acadiagamer206]

I'm glad GM finally put the gear shifter in the center console

[@GPaDLA]

I love this truck

[@rimonshamon8607]

I like this truck it's better than Ford F-150

Domenic Maio absolutely!

[@dennisdwyeriii8298]

Could you try to do a review on the Audi Q5 or Audi SQ5? Preferably the SQ5 :-) I love your videos!

[@stevenc8140]

I have a 2016 crew cab which was listed as a SLE model that I purchased from a recognizable mass dealer that offers good reliable vehicles! Then, after I road tested it, I noticed that the seats had ALL TERRAIN stitching in them. Then, when I exited the truck, it has the The Same badges all the way around! What gives no four-wheel-drive? I go to the dealer and get the build specifications for the truck from GMC. The original owner ordered this truck with the all-terrain package in suspension only! NO four wheel drive!? I purchased an insert for the center pocket holder-drawer so it raises it so you don’t have look for items. So I put a inch and a half lift on it so it drives straight and level now. Great truck! Come with the 3.6 L V6 motor which again I agree with you I do recommend instead of the 2.5 L four-cylinder which I’ve owned in a 2015 model.

[@syedaliharoon474]

Do a review on Nissan GTR. Thanks

[@aronwardhaugh7413]

You didn't mention the storage compartments under the rear seats in the crew cab. The tire changing tools are stored there.

[@valleylax5]

Do you have plans to make any more of the comparison videos between two cars, I enjoyed them quite a bit. Keep up the great work!

[@CameronsCarReviews]

+valleylax5 Thanks! I can do some! Which models would you like me to compare? Just be sure that the two vehicles are in the same class.

[@valleylax5]

How about like Ford escape and Honda CRV, Chevy Traverse and Honda Pilot, Ford F150 and Dodge Ram/Silverado

[@jesuschavezjimenez2869]

Canyon y colorado bonitas truck

I’ve had one for two years now and getting right at 24.2 mpg. It’s SLT 4x4

How do you like it now after 5 years??

@@max7768 - I still like it.

[@romiromi9810]

omg so i been looking at cars but i felt in love whit this one but i have to work hard to give a down payment for it

[@rogerpoindexter2328]

I simply cannot believe the price of trucks today. $40K? Are you friggin' kidding me?

[@dongetz2204]

You know you can get it for like under 27K if you just get the CANYON EXTENDED CAB .

[@rogerpoindexter2328]

No truck should cost $40K

[@ntense8442]

Roger Poindexter I wanted to buy a new truck but I'm not spending 40k I'd rather spend 40k on a house....

[@Pandamonium626]

Replying in 2020: It's even worse now.

[@larrymyers2164]

@@Pandamonium626 a big reason for the price is due a lot to the tech include. I mean lcd touch screen, 4g hot spot, GPS, surround system, electronic seat adjusters, etc. Not to mention that the vehicles main OS is most likely proprietary (which is the one mentioned, jntellilink??v and many other things boost the cost. Also, how many were made? If day only 2 mil were made, it will drive the price up as opposed to say if 7 mil were made which lowers. What about going say all leather as opposed to cloth? Yup, leather gets expensive....1435

[@MrKayakinglife]

I have a VW TDI and go diesel all the way.

[@JaMorant-gd4fs]

Should I buy one that has 148k miles on it

[@dylanbennett41]

How is the second row with regards to seat folding? Do they flip up/down well to make more room like you would find in a full size? For example would I be able to travel with my dog without having to get the leather all dirty?

[@krakowski40]

Yes they fold down so do the head rest pretty good room, I like that feature on my SLT

[@fazlkarimkhan5244]

[@freddyphredphred]

What do you think 2016 V6 GMC Canyon, 2. Tacoma sport V6 or WAIT for a Ridgeline? I want it for driving on paved roads and highways, and driving around town. Also carrying things in bed and moving things like fridges, tile, paint, sheetrock etc. Don't really need for towing.

[@je-sus-6910]

If your over 6ft 2 go for the canyon. Go for Tacoma. Also look into the ford maverick as it’s a truck with 50mpg

[@nikhilkalra1530]

You forgot to mention 'Honda Ridge Line' as it's direct competitor. Over all I love the review!

[@thegarbear05]

honda is a car

[@nikhilkalra1530]

Technically body on frame yes. However, Honda market as a truck no matter what.

[@jx906]

Honda Ridgeline a direct competitor? That's as much a truck as the Honda Fit. Don't make me laugh!

[@Abraham-ui6kc]

in other countries competion is, mitsubishi L200, toyota hilux, ford ranger, vw amarok, nissan np300 frontier, mazda bt50

[@dominionn09]

Which full size trucks get the same fuel economy? Serious question becuase I'm on the market for a truck and I was going to buy a smaller one for better fuel

[@blackknight5339]

2015-2019 Ford f150 eco engine + more power 360 and 400+ torque

[@dddaaa8927]

I have a 2016.. there’s sometimes a little stutter/ delay when pressing down the gas or making a U turns. Went to the dealership like 4 times thinking that something was wrong. They kept telling me that this year got a lot of complaints with that. Just a heads up to anyone buying a 2016 Canyon. It’s also really annoying right when you put the keys in the ignition if you aren’t buckled the seat belt alert ring is so loud sometimes it’s annoying. Sometimes it’s quiet.

[@stevenc8140]

Mine has 110,000 miles on when I bought mine. I’ve put 8000 miles on it without a stutter or a step at all. All I’ve noticed is that the transmission sometimes downshift kind of loud. I have a warranty up to 150,000 miles or three years. I’m gonna run it into the ground if I can to make sure I get a new engine and transmission, I’ll let you know and keep you advised. So far the truck is been running solid for me and this is my third one. I had a 2014 sierra brand new and I had a 2015 four-cylinder canyon with 30,000 miles on it. It was a slug with the four-cylinder motor.

[@EliteSaintYT]

@@stevenc8140 how's it running so far?

[@stevenc8140]

@@EliteSaintYT The thermostat just went out and the transmission speeds up and tries to engage the rear end going down hill if that makes sense. I purchased a 3K warranty with the truck. Looks like I am going to get to use it's benefits! It drives great!

@@stevenc8140 doesn't sound too bad I'm assuming should I look into a 2017 colorado instead of canyon?

[@jeepguy95]

I just wish the SLT model included a push-button start, and a Denali model was available. But other than that, a nice truck! (:

[@CameronsCarReviews]

+Vincent D Surprised it doesn't come with a sunroof either

[@jeepguy95]

Ya know I never thought of that... even though you really don't need a sunroof on a truck, sometimes it's cool to have one, although you can get a sliding rear window and that acts like a sunroof to let air in (: Camerons Car Reviews

[@NevadaFederalBites]

No push button engine starter why oh why? Hope the 2018s have them

[@tedschmitt178]

Push button ignition is not needed...EVER!

[@2isadventures]

At 0:40 is that the new 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 beside the Canyon?

[@CameronsCarReviews]

+Dj Wheaton Sure is! I originally went to the dealership to film the new Sierra, but then they couldn't find the keys so I decided to do the Canyon :)

[@2isadventures]

+Camerons Car Reviews Oh ok. I hope you can film one soon!

[@JBWHITEGT]

Damn that shifter looks like Thors hammer and look liked you shorted out the seat when you pressed both buttons, and how you barely touched the recline handle and it looked as though it could break easily.

[@tomlehmann5557]

Somebody forgot to put oil in that thing. I have a 16 canyon sure af doesnt sound like that. Jeez

[@Genologic]

Tom Lehmann i think its new. Uploaded 4 years ago

[@benl9255]

The crew cab is a waste of money and space. Base, extended cab, v6, 4x4 and tow package for 28k. Wouldn't trade it for anything after my k&n intake, muffler delete and dyno tune.

Is it just me or is that motor noisy?

It is the direct injection

[@atlaswohlfeil3197]

He seemed to talk it up alot

It`s silly to rev it up.

Glen W. Ford Literally won't rev up fully in park or neutral, kinda odd.

[@giveyouashot]

What a bunch of crap. The Inteli link system is garbage. All that stuff will be obsolete in a couple of years but you will be stuck driving around with it. It would be like everyone still running on 33.6k modem for their internet connection.

[@krakowski40]

I don't think so, Actually pretty cool you can program a lot of different features remote start options like having the seats heat when remote start is used fan speed climate control you can move the Icons around on the screen as you desire. Plus android auto Wil be available in March. I guess it can be compared to Cell phones there is always something better coming out next year

[@giveyouashot]

Disagree. I own a 2005 GMC Canyon. Heated seats went out within 3 months of ownership. After several trips to the dealer, owned the fact that those seats were just not meant to be. Panel trim on the driver seat kept falling off. Dealer admitted that it was a design fault so we ended up drilling more holes to keep it in tack. Transmission issues followed not to mention my window regulator both driver and passenger needed to be replaced. The electronics are just a gimmick to get you in. I am not buying into any of it. You start messing around with programming, you will find yourself heading back to the dealer if you know what I mean. Great looking vehicle but truth be known and most smart folks know that reliability and build are a huge issue. My experience has show that I am not going to fork out $40k on a vehicle that still has not proven itself.

[@krakowski40]

+giveyouashot I understand 2005 model had issues, as did other years I had a 2011 SLT 4X4 never had any Issues with it, I just purchased a 2016 SLT 4X4 Completely Different Vehicle,GM has really done their home work on this one

[@giveyouashot]

Like I said, it is a good looking vehicle. However, I am just going to stand on the side line for now. Time will tell.

[@krakowski40]

+giveyouashot I hear what your saying If you get a chance Test drive one I think you would be suprised I can only make comments off my impressions of owning one
