I had a Cruze LS we loved, but traded for a larger Malibu. After a year of poor Malibu mpg, we went back to a Cruze; this time an Eco. LOVE this car! After a month in mostly below-freezing weather, I'm averaging 36 mpg around town! On three days in the 50s, it got in the low 40s. Highway is 45-50 mpg at 65-70 mph. My fill-ups so far actually show slightly better mpg than the computer reading. The car handles great and is very quiet. The stick is smooth. I have owned GM cars for 25 years, and the Cruze is my favorite. I got this Eco for $17,300 after $3,500 in rebates (mostly from GM card incentives). A friend who rode in my car last week said, "Wow. This is a REALLY nice car!"
Great reliable everyday family car

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).

This car does everything it says it will. Great mileage (30 -34mpg in town). Peppy and fun to drive. Comfortable seating. No build quality issues. So far compares in quality to my last 6 Japanese made sedans/SUVs. The Cruze is quiet, dependable, and exceeds my expectations for 19K I paid for car. I am over 50 years old and this is the first manual transmission car I have owned and I am loving it. Great job GM!

Please read the special coverage related to the defective negative battery cable. Know that this car may randomly break down at any time (including at high speeds). GM doesn't seem concerned about the safety of it's customers enough to issue a working recall for this hazard.

I've been driving for a long time and have never bought a car from an American company until now. The Cruze is more solidly built than our previous Hondas and Toyotas, and I recently got 45 mpg driving from Georgia to Virginia.
