  Pros high fuel economy

  Cons no manual transmission

  Purchased as Not Purchased

  drove an Opel in Europe as a rental with diesel and Manual transmission great car great mileage it is unforgivable the product manager did not offer a manual transmission. the hard core people that like diesels are expats from Europe, south america and Australia where an automatic is almost unheard of in the mid-segment of cars. These people are the core segment who are likely to give Chevy a shot and spread the word. The Cruze Eco that there is an appetite for manual transmission cars in America it bewilders me of what the Cruze product manager was thinking. With no hardcore diesel followers (who would only drive a manual) this car will likely flop. As a side note how did Mazda which is one millionth the size of a company of GM mange to produce a diesel without nthe need for Nitrogen injection and GM can't...MoreHide

  Pros None that I can think of offhand

  Cons Concrete slab hard seats

  Purchased as Not Purchased

  I had expected this car would be about as comfortable as a Malibu or Impala. Wrong! The front seat bottom has ultra thin (3 inches) of padding. And it's rock hard padding. So after 5 minutes of driving you are already starting to get a sore butt. The tires are so wide and low profile that the ride is busy and abrupt and noisy on coarse road surfaces. All this means the car is exhausting to drive for more than 20-30 miles at a stretch. The Toyota Corollas and Hyundai Elantras I have rented were like limosines compared to this Chevy Cruze LTZ. General Motors is really going downhill again because even the luxury Buick LaCrosse I rented fairly recently was not as comfortable, quiet and refined as past big Buicks have been....MoreHide

  Pros Features, ride, good fuel economy, quiet

  Cons non so far

  Purchased as New

  All I can say is I wish I had of test drove one sooner. Man is this a nice car and this coming from someone who has a lot of vehicles since age 16. How Chevy can fit all these features for the price is beyond me and you would think it would lack in other areas but so far I can't find any. This car rides and handles great. It is very quiet and is very comfortable. The interior has a premium feel to it and like I said has a ton of cool features many that come standard. I have seen some reviews complain about the horsepower which I will be honest was a draw back for me but let me tell you this car has a lot of get up and go! I have no complaints and I am use to a V6. If you are in the market for a new car and are reading this please test drive one it will surprise you....MoreHide
