Please do not buy this car!!

2011 Chevrolet Cruze LT Fleet 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Please, do yourself a favor and do not buy this car! I have had my 2011 LT Cruze for 3 years now and it has been nothing short of a disaster. Everything was great throughout the first 6 months of owning the car and then things began to go downhill. For the past 2 years, it has been in the shop almost every other month with problems such as oil leaks, engine overheating, and my A/C going … out. I have been left stranded multiple times on the side of the road due to my engine overheating. At times, I have literally had to stop and get out of my car due to smoke coming out from under my hood. There is an awful smell in the cabin, such as if something is burning. Every time the car is serviced, it always seems as if the problem is solved until the same issues reoccur. With many different opinions, we still cannot get down to the bottom issue, there are just so many. This car is a lemon and after reading other reviews, I am not alone. I have always been a Chevy fan but I will never buy a Chevy again! Please please do not buy this car. Writing this review so that others do not have to go through this.
No more turbos for me

It is all good unless you have a junk turbo on it which caused my head gasket to blow never again the car it self is great just as long as there is no turbo
Don’t buy this Chevy junk.

I’ve bought nothing but Chevys in my life and this car was no exception. Car was great for a couple of years. Then started having check engine lights come on. Dealer told me fuel system needed a cleaning. Preformed and light went away. 2 days later, drove 3 hours away and got half way there and got “reduced engine power”. Took it to a dealer once I babied it there and the said fuel … system if dirty. Showed them the receipt that it was just fine and they said there is no way they could have done it. Had them clean it. Got same result on way back. Took back to first dealership. Dirty fuel system. Showed them first the second reciept and they said they could have cleaned it , then threw the receipt from them at him and said neither did you guys. Guys was speechless. Ended up replacing the throttle body. Still got engine light though. Ended up at another dealership and was told the burst valve needed replaced. That did the trick. I’m not even out of warranty yet. Another few miles does it again. This time the intake manifold needs to be replaced, but no warranty covers it. Not included under Chevys bumper to bumper warranty. Replaced it 3 more times before I got a oil leak on oil return line that was gonna cost 3000. Took the heap of junk to a local gentleman that owns a monster truck and watched him demolish it into the ground.
My first new car since 2000 and I really like it!

I have read some post about the throttle response and I do agree.
When starting from a complete stop, it seems to take forever to get going - I may try to put it in manual mode and see if it does the same thing.
Also, when stopped on an uphill incline, I get a big jerk when I hit the gas to get out in traffic. Otherwise, this car is great!
I traded in a 99 Caddy Seville for it because of … all the problems it had.
All I have done to this car so far is oil changes and I am at 21K miles.
I am so happy to have a reliable car again!!
I have children and the Caddy was constantly leaving us stranded on the interstate.
