Review
The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze 6 speed manual transmission is such a fun car to drive!
It shifts easily and smoothly.
It has plenty of safety and convenience features.
Trunk space is enormous for being a smaller car.
The back seat folds down to create even more space.
Driver seat is comfortable even on longer rides.
And the price is reasonable!
I also love the fuel economy.

I loved the test drive! After 14k miles I still love the way it handles. Shifting is so, so. but passable.
MAIN Problem - Car reaches full operating temp, if you I use defrost setting Antifreeze smell gets pumped in through the vents. I have to drive with the windows down. I get sick to my stomach and Dizzy & after 1 hour commute I can taste antifreeze in my mouth.. The dealer has seen the car 4 times and had it out of service for 35 days. GM is aware of the issue...says there is no fix. fyi- ingesting antifreeze causes Kidney failure, birthdefects, blindness and centreal nerveous system damage. car is not safe to drive right now.

When I first purchased my Cruze I was very impressed but before I got my first 150 miles on it.
I recieved a warning light that the car needed Serviced immediately!
I drove quickly to a chevy dealer and they checked it out and found nothing wrong!
So as I drove it happy that it was just some kind of tech. problem!
I went about my happy way!
However as each mo past it was problem after anouther!
Everythng from peeling paint to problems in the sensors in the seats to seats that would not slide
To having to replace the cluster pannel to a computer telling me the air bags needed serviced!
My first 13 mo. the car has been in the shop over13 times!
and MPG's nothing as many others get!

Purchased a 2011 cruze ltz in April 2012 the car had 8k miles on it.
After test driving several GM cars, the cruze was the ticket.
I drive approx. 125miles round trip a day, 25miles of that trip are stop and go city traffic. The cruze is averaging 34.5miles per gallon, On 87 gas. I do have a lead foot so I am very pleased with mpg. The interior of the car is very well layed out, all functions are easy to use an read. The ride and pick-up is great for what the car is. I have no problem passing, merging or quick moves.
I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a great, well built, solid,comfortable, fun to drive, automobile with luxury equipment.

I got my new Cruze in Mar. 2011 and have since put 5,000 mi. on it. It is not comfortable on a longer trip. Gas milage sucks. I was under the impression that Chev. had tested the car over 1,000,000 miles, it should be a good car, wrong. I have done my own testing and come to the conclusion that 63mph is its sweet spot to get 36mpg. Thats to slow to drive on an interstate with a 75mph speed limit. I tried 75mph and got 26.6 mpg. My last car was a Vette and going slow is not an opption! Don't even check your in-town mpg, it will scare you.

I needed a new car and had great luck with a 2005 Hyundai Elantra.
Originally I headed out to get a new model Elantra.
Somehow I ended up on a Chevy lot and am glad I did!
The Chevy Cruze is a solid car.
Drives well, little road noise - feels like a higher end car. The engine has been designed to give you the best opportunity for great gas mileage.
All in all this is a great car!

I bought my Chevy Cruze LTZ Thanksgiving weekend in 2010 in Cary, NC. So I have had it for almost 14 months and almost 27,000 miles. Every week, I drive about 183 miles to Richmond, VA to work a 4-day week on a large project as a training consultant.
My wife and I initially looked at Toyotas and Fords before going to the Chevrolet dealership. I have previously owned a Pontiac Firebird and a GTO, so I was initially not interested in a 4 cylinder, especially one as small as 1.4 liters.
I loved it from the moment I drove it off the lot. And I am still very happy with it. 33 mpg at 79 mph (3000 rpm) on interstates. Great acceleration and not one problem with it. I highly recommend it.

This is the worst car I have ever owned. 2 days after buying the car new, the windshield cracked along the top and the roof and electronics all flooded. Three weeks past and the car refussed to go into gear and almost caused use to get side swiped. After being treated like a lower life form by the dealer ship and General Motors, we were forced to drive this car. Recently the pile of Cruze failed to shift into gear which caused us to roll back into oncoming traffic and was involved in an accident. This is the last GM product I will ever own, and I hope that Chevy stops getting bailed out. Government Motors, I should have known better.

We bought our 2011 Chevy Cruze to downsize for good fuel mileage.
Out LT1 Sedan w/ 1.4L Turbo 4cyl gets about 28-30mpg city/ 32-34mpg highway.
We have two small children and this model had more rear seat room than the Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla and Nissan Altima 2.5S we drove.
The interior of the car really sold us on it, and it was fun to drive.
My biggest complaint is the seatbelt clip restraints are hard to buckle the seatbelt to.
My kids have a very hard time with them.
They are kind of hidden down in the rear seat and are hard to use on the front bucket seats as well.
Overall though, we really like the car.
The trunk is very spacious as well.

I bought this car for the gas mileage because I drive over 700 miles per week.
I had an SUV that was getting 21 miles per gallon and was promised at least 42 or more miles per gallon with the Cruze.
I have never come close to this gas mileage. I drove from Wisconsin to Texas and back .
My mileage was 24 miles per gallon.
The acceleration on this car is sluggish, there is wind noise that is extreme, the vehicle is not comfortable for any trips longer than an hour.
