Needed a reliable, great gas mileage vehicle for my daily commute of 85+ miles a day---to & from work. Test drove the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3 and on a salesmans recommendation the Chevy Cruz! Loved the test drive, cautiously purchased the Cruz and am extremely happy 3 years later. The turbo is great in traffic and around town, steering is very responsive! It feels like a small race car! No problems at all----knock on wood! Enjoying every minute of driving and would definitely recommend the Cruz and will be purchasing another Cruz in a couple more years. Thanks Chevy for FINALLY delivering a vehicle that I believe is superior to the industries regulars, I.e; the Toyota's, Honda's etc.. Now hopefully the Cruz will be commanding over $5000 when it hits 200,000 miles!!!

2013 Chevrolet Cruze Eco 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

We bought our Cruze ECO used with 29K miles and in more than 2 years of driving and an additional 36K miles we have done nothing to it but replace the Goodyear fuel max tires at 60K miles and done regular full synthetic oil changes. This car has been dead on reliable and delivers fantastic MPG we use our Cruze primarily for 60 mile daily work commutes but have also done a few 1000 mile trips to DC and back and the car is comfortable and at home on both highway and secondary road trips. With the manual 6 speed transmission this car is especially fun to drive on twisty back roads and rivals my 3 weekend sports cars in that department. At 65K miles the interior still looks brand new and the bucket seats are more comfortable than any of our other 4 cars. I have 2 complaints though one is the lack of backpressure from the 1.4L engine when trying to go down hill slowly and the other is a small bit of body flex in cold weather which can sound like a knocking noise when going over rough roads but aside from those minor glitches the acceleration, steering, and handling is brilliant. I also like the fit and finish on the body and interior as GM really took great care in designing and putting this car together. The turbo 4 engine is smooth and surprisingly fast for such a small displacement engine and in combination with the buttery smooth 6 speed transmission it is a delight to drive. Driven lightly in warm weather I have been able to touch 50MPG although 42MPG is more readily attainable on a daily bases and in cold weather that usually drops by an additional 4MPG to 38MPG. I highly recommend the Chevy Cruze and this from a guy that has 4 other foreign brand cars (one being Ferrari).

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.

2013 Chevrolet Cruze LS 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)

I bought my chevrolet cruze in hopes of obtaining a reliable vehicle. 1 year later at around 34k miles I started having problems. It stalled. I brought it to the dearlship. They couldnt figure it out and had to use a diagnostic tree since the computer wasnt operating properly. They then replaced the mass air flow sensor, billed me $300 and the vehicle is still there until corporate call them

Overall, the Cruze is a awesome commuter vehicle. I wish it had a little more torque on the freeway but I guess I can't expect much with a 4 cylinder vehicle. Minor issues with rear brake noise. Sun-visor coming apart where mirror folds. Satisfied with performance and look of vehicle.
