Used 2012 Chevrolet Cruze Consumer Reviews
Something GM got right.
I have owned honda's since 01. Decided to trade one in for a lease on a cruze. The cockpit is nice. Was overwhelmed at first by the technology. Automatic shifts smooth even though I miss my stick already. I wish the arm rest wasn't so useless. Cupholders are too small also. Both plus's from my honda civic. The quietness of the cabin is welcoming. I can see fine but sometimes I think the view could be better. Seats are kozy. Trunk is fine. Radio sounds great. Overall I am pleased with the lease. Glad I did give GM another try. Gas mileage isn't too far off from my honda either.
Stay away
This by far the worst car I have ever owned. The thing leaks fluid as my ex-wife spent money, I have had to replace 2 water pumps replaced every coolant hose just 6 months after purchase that was not covered under warranty. And all the Chevy car maintenance guy does is a laugh. Stay away from these cars

Farewell to a friend
I bought my Cruz Eco 6 years ago when my job moved 55 miles away. It replaces a Jeep that averaged 19 mpg. It was my first Chevyrolet purchase. I’m retired today. I am selling my Cruz to a friend. 6 people at work wanted to buy it. It is a very dependable car. I replaced it with a 2018 Chevyrolet Equinox.

Great work car
Very reliable, and good on gas. Small gas tank though, so expect to still stop once or twice a week.

What a Pleasant Surprise
First American car we have purchased in 15 years. We were attracted to the mileage, the look, the solid handling, the interior and the electronics. On a 50 mile daily commute driving under 45 mph, my wife averages 31 mpg. On a 5 hour freeway round trip we got 41 mpg while spending 45 minutes stop and go (based on actual gas used). Cruze has the smoothest power steering I've ever driven. Having driven Toyota, Honda and Mazda for years, I scoffed at the idea of visiting a GM dealership. We were really surprised at the quality. Ford Focus was our second choice. What a pleasure buying from an "old fashioned" American car dealer.
