Re: New Thread Cruze Eco Only [shipo]
C/D tested the Cruze Eco 6MT vs. the Volt and got 47 mpg with the Eco in their "commuting" test. They also found that mpg at steady speeds up to the low 60s resulted in 50+ mpg on the Eco. So 50 mpg on the Eco stick appears achievable in the real world, under the right conditions. Not in all-city driving or high-speed highway driving, however. http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/2011-chevrolet-volt-vs-2011-chevrolet-cr- - uze-eco-comparison-test

Re: Choices other than the Cruze [drvette]
As to Cruze Quality, I purchased a 2011 cruze eco stick last May, I have run my own automotive specialty shop for 35 years and I am a member of thew SAE. The Cruze was the first car I have really been excited about in 20 years. It truly is a "World" class car,. I researched the car for months and even gave a presentation at a Chevy dealer on the ...

Re: Fiesta [backy]
So if I go Chevy it will be the Cruze, preferably the Eco 6MT but given it's price I'd have to get a good deal on it. I test drove the Cruze, the Sonic, and the Ford Focus. I ultimately ended up purchasing the Cruze ECO with a 6MT. The Focus was ok, but the car I drove actually broke down on the test drive.. :P > The main thing I ... Read More

Bought it: 2011 chevy cruze LS test drive
I test drove the same car yesterday and had the opposite reaction - loved it, including the NVH aspects (noise vibration handling)! The 1.8L engine was fine for what I'm looking for, very efficient. Also I found the Cruze LS automatic transmission predictably/comfortably slushy and behaving exactly as an automatic should -(functioning as designed - revving exactly the same as you observed, steven39! ) After the test-drive of the automatic, I ...

I recently rented a Mazda 3, with it's mouse fur headliner, uncomfortable driving position, lack of amenities, noisiness, etc. It's like night and day. Why anyone would pick the 3 over the Cruze is beyond me. The Cruze is just lightyears ahead of the Mazda."

You may be right about 2011 Sonata. The last one I drove was a 2009 and while it was okay, the NVH was like an Excel. I agree few people will cross shop a big car like the Sonata (EPA Large Car) with a Cruze. The Elantra is the Cruze's competition. Hyundai's dealer network bothers me too. I'm 35 miles from a Hyundai/Kia dealer and 2 miles from a Chevy dealer ... Read More

Re: MSRP [overbrook]
Once the Sonata transmission line is up in Alabama, the NA content will be over 50%. The Sonata was designed in California. The people dissing the 2011 as tinny have obviously never driven one.

Re: MSRP [uplanderguy]
I looked online, and the 2011 Sonata has 41% NA parts content...even less than current Cruzes. Yes and 100% of the vehicle profit goes back to Asia.

The Sonota and Elantra are still too rough in ... Read More

Re: Cruze vs. 2011 Sonata [scottl]
I'm not thrilled with the Cruze's North American content, but it is made by an American company. Chevy's primary headquarters and chief staff aren't in South Korea like Hyundai's.

Personally, I like the Cruze because I like my local Chevy dealer's Service Dept. personnel and have for some time; the styling is conservative ... Read More

Cruze vs. 2011 Sonata

Re: just returned from dealer to check out the cruz [steven39]
How can a car be a "rip-off" if you didn't buy it? :P Chevrolet developed a premium small car in the Cruze. The 10hp difference you noted means little. It's torque that counts and where in the rev band it's produced. 148hp at 6,000 rpms means next to nothing for the average driver who never goes over 5,000 rpms. The Cruze will be quieter and ride smoother than the 3. If ... Read More

They NEED the Cruze to be the car people actually want ... Read More

Re: 2011 Chevy Cruze (nippononly)
The base engine could be a massaged 2.2 Ecotec, for cost purposes and for those who would prefer time tested over leading edge technology. It's also possible that, with a six speed transmission (manual or automatic), a naturally aspirated 2.0 Ecotec would yield a better blend of fuel economy and performance for the base engine. As far as achieving a real-world combined 40 mpg is concerned, we'll have to wait and ... Read More

Re: 2011 Chevy Cruze [hpmctorque]
I agree. The styling is better, and hopefully so is the interior. With the newest Corolla having gone in the WRONG direction for '09 with regard to its interior, the time is ripe for GM to strike with the Cruze. But I can't help but wonder how they will pull 40 mpg with any engine besides this new turbo 1.4, and just exactly what price premium they will be expecting for ... Read More
