This guy loves his Cruze!

2013 Chevrolet Cruze 1LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
I've had my 2013 Chevy Cruze for 2 years now. I bought it used with 20,000 miles on it and I now have 70,000. Other than regular maintenance (belt, wipers, oil change), I have had no problems. I've taken this car on many trips, just recently drove it a few thousand miles between 9 different states and not one problem. Gas mileage is excellent and I love the way the car handles when … driving. Seating is very comfortable in the front, I've never been in the back so I don't personally know but people that have ridden in it say the back is fine. Huge trunk space for hauling things. This is the best, most reliable car I've ever owned and would buy another one in a heartbeat.
Great car when it works.

2013 Chevrolet Cruze 1LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
I bought this car from a VW dealership for 7k with 121k miles. It was my first car and I loved it and am taking great care of it. Its an awesome car when it works, comes with good enough electronics, good looks, and a good quality interrior. However, now I am at around 142k miles and I am looking to get a new car.
Problems I've had:
The negative battery terminal had to be replaced … because It would reduce engine power and turn off my StabiliTrak and traction control system.
Engine Coolant reservoir and hoses needed to be replaced because they were all leaking because they are cheaply made. Easy to do on your own but you shouldn't have to in the first place.
PCV system needed to be replaced because of a vacuum seal problem I fixed it for 150 myself.
caused rough idle and other problems.
Now I will need to replace the coil pack, fuel injectors, spark plugs, and possibly my fuel pump because of another misfire/rough idle problem.
and am currently dealing with a very, very minor oil leak, as well as the engine is leaking oil those will need to be replaced soonish.
So it's a great car when it doesn't have problems but it has problems frequently.
Design over function is not good

At 68000 miles I had to have 2 valve lifters and rocker arms replaced. At 73200 I now need to have the cylinder head replaced. This is unacceptable! If you go for strictly comfort and design this is a good car. Funtionally not so much!
