The LT 4x2 Crew Cab Pick-Up ($41,190 with an automatic gearbox) sits above only the entry-level LS in the Colorado range, and adds some handy equipment. 

You’ll get a 7.0-inch touchscreen with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a six-speaker stereo, as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a USB charge point, cloth seats and manual air-conditioning. Outside, you’ll find LED DRLs and powered body-colour mirrors.

But your extra spend adds niceties like 17-inch alloys, carpet flooring, a tailgate lock, fog lights and side steps to the standard features list. You still get the same 2.8-litre diesel engine as the rest of the Colorado range.

Holden offers a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty across the Colorado family, with servicing required every 12 months or 12,000kms. The brand’s capped-price servicing program is published on its website, and the first seven services (covering seven years) will cost you a total $3033.

The Colorado also wears a five-star ANCAP rating right across the range, with the full-marks score awarded in 2016. The safety story includes seven airbags, rear sensors, a reversing camera and Hill Descent Control, along with the usual site of traction and braking aids, all of which are offered across the range, but there's no AEB.

Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold. But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul. And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard. When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House. But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others. More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
