2014 Chevrolet Cruze 1LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
28 of 28 people found this review helpful
Over the past 10 years have driven the Mazda 3, and some assorted european models overseas. Test drove the Focus and the Cruze this go-round and like the Handling is superb, shifting (manual) is a breeze -- lot's of getup and go with the turbo.... great gas mileage. Recommend getting some blind spot sticker mirrors for your side mirrors if you do a lot of city driving... they only cost 99 cents and help out a lot as the side mirrors aren't as big as the focus. Pros: No road noise even at highway speeds. 5 star safety (10 airbags). Comfortable, smooth ride all around (if you don't believe it read kelly blue book review). CONS: Brakes are not as tight as Ford. immediately.

I purchased my 2014 Cruze as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle with 5,800 miles on the clock. I'm happy to say I'm nothing but satisfied with the car. It does exactly what it was meant to do. It's affordable, reliable, efficient, and is equipped with enough technology for the average person to be happy. It's not overly flashy, or trying too hard like some of the foreign mid-sizers. It's just an honest, handsome, well proportioned little car. I average 32-33 mix of city and highway. Haven't had a single mechanical issue yet. But what about safety you ask? I sold these for over a year and heard horrendous accident stories. Not a single injury. It does what it says, and it does it well.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze Eco 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
39 of 41 people found this review helpful
This month I purchased a gas Cruze Eco with the six speed manual. I just filled up the tank and checked the gas mileage. I got 39 mpg! That was all around driving, although the majority was highway. Then I drove 98 miles all highway at 62 mph, twice aggressively passing and negotiating some hills. I filled up and it only took 2 gallons! 49 mpg! I am very happy so far. It handles well and isn't underpowered. My 2004 impala 3.8 which I traded in for this had a better ride and more passing power, but I don't think I lost much in these areas. I am very happy. My advice: learn how to use a manual:>)
Great everyday driver, with style!

I bought this car for my wife. She didn't think that she would like a small car coming away from a Nissan Armada; let me tell you she was wrong, can't her out of it. The car looks small in stature but interior has good spacing and a large trunk for a small vehicle. The car handles very firm but is really fun and comfortable. We have owned an Audi A4 1.8 turbo a while back and it handles just like it, very predictable and hugs the road. The ride is smooth and bumps are effortless. The electronics inside the car are great for long trips or short work journeys. Let me be the first to admit we were going to opt out on the Mylink and the other, GET THEM YOU WONT REGRET IT!
It exceeds the expectations I had.

I drive 63 miles one way to work, flat and mostly freeway, in Kern County, CA. 41 miles per gallon average overall at 35000 miles in 11 months. The car gets over 50 mpg on flat freeway at 70 mph. If you drop to 55 mph, you can exceed 60 mpg. The car has been perfect to this date. Fantastic power in acceleration; can really move to pass or to accelerate to freeway speed. I have driven it on I 5 over the Grapevine several time, it moves with the air conditioner on high with no problems and holds speed on cruise control going up hill on the Grapevine without any problems. Great looking car. An easy parking car. Only problem. my daughter broke the passenger side vanity mirror cover, otherwise a car that met all of my expectations, especially for fuel mileage since I am putting on about 40 k a year. Update at 92000 miles; the car continues to get great mileage- 46.7 mpg on a 2200 mile round trip to Boulder Co. Also, still great power for passing or coming on to a freeway. At near 92750 miles had a very light coolant leak. Dealership said it was the water pump, covered under the extended warranty. However, for 28 days they could not get a replacement water pump. 28 days!!! GM has to spare up for simple things like a water pump. What would have happened if the water pump went out on a trip? Wait for a month for car repair? Other than that, the car still runs reliably, now at 97000+ miles. Update at 100,000 miles: a programmed message comes on to change the timing chain. It is a belt, not a chain. I was surprised because I had no prior inkling this was going to occur. I called the local Chevrolet dealer and asked for a price estimate; $4500!. I think they gave me a phony estimate, because this belt is external to the engine. I haven't changed it yet, but I will do the work myself. The car is still running great; great power, mileage in the 46 mpg range on the highway. Update 130,000 miles. The car continues to perform well, both in power and mileage. For a 6 year old car, at this point, it has performed very well.

I bought this car certified preowned with 24k on it. I have only had it for 3 months and now have close to 32k on her. Gas mileage is impeccable! I was driving 84 miles round trip to work 5 days a week and only having to fill up once! I love the control and the quality of this car. It's my first car I've bought on my own and I couldn't have made a better choice. I love the TPMS and the oil percentage. Take off and braking are awesome. Almost had an accident last week on the interstate and she went from 70 to 0 without locking the brakes! Overall I would recommend this car to anyone looking for something to commute in. Not to mention it is very fun to drive! And the heated leather seats are amazing when it's been a long day at work! Update: I've now had this car for close to a year and I'm up to 46k on the odometer, nothing but routine maintenance has been needed, and I have decided I will not be getting rid of it until I absolutely have to! This is my baby. A lot of bang for the buck I'd say! Only downside I've noticed is the acceleration being slower when the air is on but that's normal! I love this car and everything about it!

2014 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
28 of 30 people found this review helpful
I recently traded my 2011 Camaro in for a 2014 Cruze. I was trying to find a car that could save me on gas. The Cruze was an easy pick for me, compared to other cars in its class. I got the black granite metallic color, it really shines in the sun light. I was looking at the Mazda 3 also when buying a new car. I preferred the drive quality on the Cruze, the Mazda 3 had a lot of road noise for my taste. I am actually liking the Cruze more than my Camaro.
Good car overall

I got this car in November 2016 with 56k on it. Fast forward to December 2017, it now has 79k on it. I’ve spent a lot of time with this car. Overall I do like the car but their are some things I don’t like. The drivers seat has a power slide feature but No power recline. I thought that was odd considering it’s an LTZ model (they have rectified this for the newer models). The fake leather doesn’t wear well. The drivers seat has some noticeable wear on it and it’s starting to develop small cracks but nothing major thankfully. I just have to be careful getting in and out of the seat. My bosses 2012 VW Jetta has 90k miles on it and the Fake leather in his car looks flawless still. Their are some cheap bits in the interior but it’s not too bad. Really the one thing that bothers me is the gearshift. It looks and feels cheap to me but I’m probably just too nitpicky. I really like the way the interior is laid out though. Everything is where you would expect it to be (Except for the power lock controls since this is a 2014 Cruze. They are in the center but were moved to the door in 2015) I like how the radio has actual volume and tuning knobs because a lot of cars are going away with that. I’m surprised that it doesn’t have dual zone climate control since this is the top of the line LTZ model. Even to this day, you can’t get this on any Cruze. Other cars in the class have this so it would be nice if the Cruze had it also. Mylink is pretty easy to use and straight to the point and once you pair your phone through Bluetooth, it’ll automatically connect in the future once you get in and get the car going. The back up camera is nice too but since it’s a 2014, it doesn’t have the trajectory lines on the screen. That issue was resolved in the 2015 models. It doesn’t bother me really. I’m used to it now. The backseat legroom isn’t as good as its competitors. It’s tolerable if the front seats aren’t pushed all the way back but if they are, legroom is nonexistent. The car actually drives really smooth. A lot smoother than I expected. It surprised me honestly. When you try to take off from a stop in the car, it’s almost like their is a delay by 2 to 3 seconds which means making left turns can be a challenge sometimes. My grandparents have a 2015 2lt with the same engine and theirs drives like this too. Once the car gets into the higher rpms, the speed is adequate. As far as reliability goes, it’s been pretty reliable for the most part. The only thing I’ve had to have done/replaced was an ignition coil and a battery both at the same time around 72k. I have a 5 year 100k powertrain Waranty and I thought it would have replaced the ignition coil for free at least but it didn’t. Replacing both of these items at the dealership was $527 with parts and labor. Oh well. Other than that, it’s been pretty reliable. No complaints there. And since it’s an LTZ, it has smart key access which is pretty useful. I don’t have to take the key out of my pocket for anything even when going to the trunk which it great. When I get out of the car and close the door, 8 seconds later, the car locks automatically. Overall, I give this car a 4 out of 5 stars because it meets my expectations for the most part. All of the gripes mentioned above about this car, I remind myself that no car is perfect and the end of the day, it’s still an Economy car and their is no escaping that which is completely understandable and I’m okay with it. Would I recommend this car to anybody? Yes. However I will say that if you are looking for a car with a lot of room, you might want to look elsewhere.

Purchased a 2014 Cruze LTZ about 7 months ago now. This is really an amazing car - much better than I would have expected from Chevy. I had one of these as a rental for about a week and was so impressed that I test drove a couple more and ended up buying one. The car has REALLY solid handling, it's very quiet on the highway and knowing I have 10 airbags around my family is awesome. The technology works incredibly well - from the automatic climate control (which turns the fan down when you make/answer calls!) to the voice recognition for phone/radio commands ("Play song X"!)and the great OnStar app with remote start/unlocking/panic button from your phone.

I have had my Cruize for 2 years now and I have not had any trouble at all with it. It is dependable and reliable. Only issue I had was that I did not realize that they still made cars without cruise control. I bought mine and assumed that it had it but it did not.

Don't buy. My car has 15k miles and I'm in arbitration with GM because it's been to the dealership five times in six months with check engine light problems nobody can fix. UPDATE We are at 26k miles and the check engine light issue has not been resolved. We are getting ready to enter court on lemon law enforcement. Update: The car went in for more sensors, o2 and nox, three more times. I ended up on the phone with Mobil oil accidentally trying to locate oil for the car. It's recommended to take a strange 5w30 diesel blend which is really hard to find. The gentleman at Mobil told me that the viscosity of that oil is why my car is having problems. We followed his advice and put it a blend of 5w40 and 5w30. By magic, the car is fixed and the check engine light has been off for the past 15K miles. Update: We still have this car and it’s still having issues with the sensors. There’s a second recall out for it. I’m waiting to fix it until right before. Update: the engine blew up at 100, 054 miles. Not under warranty. The sensors have never been fixed. The car has had two exhaust fluid tank replacements. I was not able to get rid of the car under lemon law because they kept fixing it and Illinois is a tough state. This car has been one of the worst things to ever come into my life. Just paid off this POS as it sits in the driveway. Soon I can junk it and put both of us out of our misery.

This is an update to my previous review. So far, the Cruze is still a great compact car. I have no issues to report, neither mechanical nor cosmetic. On a trip along the shores of Lake Ontario (with terrain about as even as flat can be) at 60 mph, the fuel economy registered in the mid 50s! (This was on ethanol free gas). Upon refueling, the range showed 649 miles. This was the highest number I've seen so far, and not typical for the rest of the state, which is hilly to mountainous. Looking at the 2017 Cruze, it is quite apparent that Chevy has been making significant improvements... However, if you are looking for a used Cruze, a well taken care of 2014 model should still be a great car for, by now, a very modest price, and likely a very reasonable cost of ownership.

I recently purchased the rainforest green Cruze LS 1.8L 6 speed automatic. The cars exterior and interior styling is very impressive. So far this car has been excellent, with mostly city driving we are averaging 26 mpg. The interior is user friendly and very nice for an entry level car. There is almost no road noise while driving under 50 mph. The handling is tight however on worn roads you will feel a little play in the steering. This is not a car you could put 4 adults in comfortably, but children fit just fine in the back. Chevy is definitely going in the right direction with their designs and driver friendly focus.

I purchased my 2914 Chevy cruise in 2017 I regret not researching more about the major problems these cars have that were manufactured between 2011 and 2017 It’s a major and costly defect. PCV & non-return valve on engine failure causing oil to spray out of valve cover intake manifold. The stop ball in valve malfunctions leading to a cascade of failures throughout the engine. I’ve had it in the shop for repair and it did it again 11 months later. Had it back to mechanic for repair and this week it happened again. I cannot afford these multi costly repairs plus the payments I am making on the car loan. Cannot imagine selling this lemon for what little I owe on it. Ready to hand it over to the lender so they can put it in auction to get less than I owe on it and eat the balance that is sure to remain. I’ll buy a $700 junker that will surely be more reliable than this 2014 Chevy cruise junk. Buyer beware! GM is fully aware of the defects and have yet to recall it.

I am 6' 3" tall and 240 lbs, and this car feels roomy and comfortable to me, but the seats are too hard! The beam suspension is not as nice as independent suspension, but it handles well for a compact. Everything feels very solid and much higher quality than other compacts I have owned. One big issue for me is that when the doors are unlocked then so is the trunk and anyone on the street, or the valet, can open the trunk by just pressing a button on the lid. Also, there is no lock or latch on the gas lid. The premium pioneer stereo isn't that great. All of the sound seems to come out of the center speaker in the dash. My Bose SoundLink sounds better. Overall, I really like this car so far.

I never owned a compact before but after driving a Cruze on a recent business trip I knew it was time to buy one. I'm 6'0" and find the Cruze a comfortable car that has been delivering 30 MPG city/highway mileage. I always thought compacts would be noisy and have a cheap feel to them. I'm certainly very happy with the Cruze and the cost of less than $20K. Even my wife a staunch import fan really likes the Cruze. I would recommend this car to family and friends.

8 years in and it's still humming along. Cam cover has been replaced twice. Has about 94k miles and seems to have started to use a little oil so that's something I'll be monitoring. Overall a decent car.

I have 2 of those, base LS1.8 and all option LTZ 1.4T. Bought brand new right before facelift. So far cars perform flawlessly. LS is 58k miles with average 32.27MPG and LTZ 32.25MPG, still on factory tires. Both cars just... drive. LS was upgraded with factory Cruise Control (new steering wheel to gain physical controls and reprogramming in ADI dealer) after long trip without it. LTZ has no upgrades done as it came with all options. Pretty much nothing breaks down, so far LTZ had replaced main crankshaft seal (warranty), sunroof glass (recall) and 4 batteries (biggest downside of all electronics installed and push button start); LS - EVAP purge valve (MIL on, car stalling on idle, $50, 10 min swap at home) and windshield washer pump (pump leaking, $25, 30 min at home as well, for someone with basic tools and minimum skill). Maintenance is normal, just fluids at onboard computer indications, LTZ got brakes done after 70k miles (new rotors front due to age and warping, all pads 30% was still left) and iridium spark plugs are replaced every 40k to prevent issues with ignition coil on both. LS factory battery got replaced after almost 7 years as car was cranking slow. The good: Both cars drive, from oil change to oil change, require nearly nothing, not even a bulb replacement. Small hiccups described above, but never got stranded or had major failure. Cars are comfy, quiet inside, have very precise steering, bit of a gokart feel. Perfect for a commute or even a bit longer trip. Large fuel tank gives 500+ miles range between the fill-ups. The bad: My 1.8 transmission has pretty noisy pump, but works well and the 1.4T has annoying slip when just taking off cold between 1st and 2nd gear, does not happen after couple hundred yards driven. Dealer does not see issue with either. Funny thing, both are the same type and model of transmission and both issues are my cars specific. Tires - LS is on 215/60R16 Firestone and so far I think I can make 65000 miles till replacement, ride is nice and soft on those tires, LTZ came with low profile Michelin 225/45R18 and ride quality suffers, but as well tires will last me 75000 miles, extra 10000 miles over Firestones. Support for navigation. Mine has ended, can't get address sent to my factory unit from phone anymore, can't get a map update. My newly built house will always be on 'not digitized map'. 1.8 is very smooth, but a bit noisy as it gets power from RPMs, most annoying is the vibration it is causing at low rpm to the exhaust system that starts resonating, but it's just the engine's quirk. 1.4T is nice and quiet, plenty of torque, but has significant turbo lag, which is getting very pronounced in ambient temperature over 75F. At 95F it's 2 cars in 1, at low RPM it's dull, it does not want to accelerate, lack of power, transmission tries to keep RPM down to save fuel, then once over 3000RPM, the daemon wakes up and car nearly peels off, it gets annoying when driving from light to light in city traffic and car does not want to keep up with traffic on low RPM and transmission starts looking for gears giving sort of a seesaw ride. At temperatures below 75F, difference is almost not noticeable and it's quite fun to zip around. That 2 sides of the 1.4T would make me think twice to buy another model powered by the same engine, but definitely I am convinced turbo engine is the way to go just in general. Conclusion: Would I buy again? Yes and... yes. It is a great looking car, even 7 years from new, looks still fresh and modern, everything works in the car, upkeep is at bare minimum of expenses, even when I personally can't stand to have that 'one thing always broken' and those cars don't give me one. Either model is great, regardless if it's LS with 1.8 or the luxurious LTZ with 1.4 turbo. Overall, both cars were excellent choice, issues free and just overall reliable rides. I would gladly recommend either. On that note I would avoid cheap used cars, as I have seen abused Cruze's with all kinds of costly issues, leaky heads, bad PCV, turbo issues and dead catalytic converters. Avoid those, best one's are sold in new car dealerships from trade-in deals, bad one's go to auction to be sold on internet or in shady 'great deal' dealers. Update: Shortly after writing review, the 1.4 LTZ started leaking oil, once engine was open, almost $3k of repairs were required to failed parts with trade in @$5k… needless to say, now it is replaced by 2021 Equinox. The 1.8 LS on other hand, needed tires @75k (yes, Firestones lasted 75k, not originally planned 65k) and replaced transmission fluid, at 82k it had A/C fail (new compressor and TSB done, beware it is pricey!!! @$1200) and typical issues started with vaccuum, new valve cover w/PCV installed, throttle body cleaned and resealed, faulty battery cable replaced (TSB) and new EVAP purge valve (3rd one!!!) with gas cap installed. @90k PM was done (new timing belt with pulleys, water pump, serpentine belt and routine 7500mi oil change ($1200 again). That concludes the maintenance on the car. Expenses added over the last 20k miles to be around $6k. Yes I traded the 1.4 LTZ for less than $3k in repair bills, but 1.8 LS did cost in unexpected bills only $1500 for the A/C and PCV issues, all other was expected PM investment - 90k PM, tires (Hankook this time), transmission flush. Right now using it daily as a commuter to work, I get great gas mileage, can trust it to go distance and keeping it to see how far it will go. 100k update: 2 minor issues came up, transmission became jerky (or was it transmission???) and 'tighten the gas cap'... well... what was perceived as tranny, was ignition coil ($80 and 10 min work; I bet ton of higher mileage complaints get misdiagnosed here, unfortunate bad diagnostic system to detect misfire in Chevy's), now it's super smooth again and low end power is back; gas cap warning, was a poor seal on EVAP valve... bit of silicone did the job. Oh, changed oil again... secret to engine's longevity...

I purchased new a lt1 with the technology, convience package,and sunroof. I was originally looking at the eco model but couldn't get a sunroof and was 1500 more. It's ben a while sense I have a manual transmission. I get what the window sticker says for mileage. Three carseats will fit in the back seat. The changes I would like would be available sunroof on the eco. A place for my cell phone in the center console and more leg room for my right leg so not resting so much on the center console. All in all verry pleased with this car. I am hoping it will last as long as my 1997 oldsmobile did. Up date 2018. Verry pleased with this little car. I run cooper snow tires in the winter months on the car and this does two things. The snow tire cut my mileage down 3 to 5 mpg but it also makes it go through and handle the ice and snow awesome. September 2018 update. I had my check engine light come on and it ran rough. I took it into the dealership thay replace a spark plug that had fouled out. Other than that I haven't had any issues. March 2019 45k miles and still doing great. I dont drive it as much now. Just to work and back. Family has grown so we use my wifes 2012 gmc acadia for big trips and weekends. October 2020 has 55k miles. I just did the math and I have gotten 35 mpg over the life of the car. August 2021 now have over 62k miles, still love driving it may need to get a new battery now, the car has sat for a week due to the plan-demic and has needed a jump to start. I still enjoy driving the car and now that sedans are hardly produced I don't plan and replace it anytime soon. February 2022 I have about 65k miles on my Cruze I still love my car. the Cruze is cheep to maintain and operate. February 2023 now have 75k miles on the car. Never did replace the battery just but a charger on it and no problem any more. I did replace a wheel baring that started to howl. Still a great car, and that’s good because no manufacturer makes a sedan I’d be interested in.

Chevy electronics. Easy to pair phone to car. Infuriating trip computer that has never been close on mpg, distance to empty, gallons used. On star is good but I feel too expensive so I dropped it. Interior nice but leather seats are FIRM. Average around 32 mpg day to day use, have never come near 38 mpg rating. At 42000 miles transmission is getting dimwitted on shifts ( just want a slight speed increase, push on throttle, nothing, push, nothing, push then it's a 2 gear kickdown). Dealer says car showing no codes when I had checked. Rear seat room is good for small kids or SMALL adults. Real nightmare is sunroof failed in tilt open position. Will update when I find out what is wrong and how much financial pain it will cost. I dont think I will consider another GM vehicle if this sunroof problem turns into a financial black hole. Plus side tire wear is great, still have near 50% of original tread, premium Pioneer sound system is great. Update..cost 116.00 but dealer found crud jamming sunroof motor and cleaned it out. No longer park near trees with roof tilt open. This is NOT a performance car. RS package is dress up and nothing more. Trade value plummeted with new style release.

Cruze ECO was an excellent choice for me!

I leased a 2014 Cruze ECO last October. I love this car. Even though I drive city mostly and only live 10 miles from work I still average above 30 MPG. Any time I take a road trip I get over 40 MPG. The the steering feel and Mylink system. Awesome to play my Spotify app right through my phone to my car. Only drawbacks is the seats are a little uncomfortable for long drives. Other than that it is an awesome affordable car. Cool to get oil changes covered by Chevy as well.
Great Car for Price

I am already at 50k+ miles in 2.5 years and have had no issues with this car. It is a basic car - no frills. It drives smoothly and is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. My only complaint is that the interior materials are cheap. One mirror cover broke off already with basic use and the metallic coating on a door handle is peeling off already. The door locks are kind of weird (the only autolock button is on the dash) and the basic model lacks many modern features such as keyless entry/start-up or a back-up view camera. The USB connection can be finicky, and I had to have it replaced when it was new, but now it usually works as long as the USB cord is good quality. The backseats are a little cramped when people sit behind someone tallish (I am 5'7). I average around 35mpg, which is awesome. Sometimes I go 40m on 1 gallon. I only paid $15k for this car, so I am very pleased with it overall.

My wife wanted this car. Bought April, 2014. Now December, 2014. She loved the look of it and the sticker showed some good numbers for fuel consumption. The first 5000 miles or so got about 31 mpg steady. After that we are lucky to see 26. Same route and speed to work. The car accelerates on it's own. The rpm's rev all the way up and the car bucks away. You need to pay attention and hit that brake! Dealer says, "no problem found". There are interior gaskets and moldings coming off. Dealer shoved them back on and they are coming off again. Newest problem is the car keeps stalling and doesn't want to start. Have an appointment to bring it in again in two days, if it starts.
Car great until end of warranty and then.........

Here is all you need to know-after the warranty expired all of the following happened in rapid succession: Fuel pump needed replaced, water pump needed replacement, coolant hoses leaking constantly, thermostat replaced three times, oil pan leaking, coolant reservoir cracked needing replacement, intake manifold replaced, cracked head. In applying the words of an old SNL skit orginally referencing Derek Jeter, to this car- The Chevy Cruze sucks in three separate and distinct ways. 1. So hard 2. So long 3. All the time.

I must confess that the Cruze was not my first choice. I came to the Chevy dealership looking at the malibu, but things quickly begin to fall apart on the deal. So I had to regroup and the salesman introduce the cruze as an possibility. First, the deal was right, secondly, after the test drive I was surprised at how it performed and how it looked to the eye. Needles to say I am a cruze owner and looking for this car and driver relationship to last.

I’ve owned a 2014 Chevy Cruze for 4 years. The first 2 years were great but it is all downhill from there. My sister purchased her Chevy Cruze just 2 months before me and it’s almost like the car is wired to have issues on a timeline. Every issue she has had (which are many), I have experience almost exactly 2 months later. This car has been nothing but a source of stress and a place to throw away money for the last 2 years. In recent months, it seems the check engine light is on more often than not. One might assume it is the same issue which does not get fixed but that person would be wrong. Each check engine code is for a different, unrelated issue. At this point, I am struggling to simply get the check engine light off long enough to trade it in. This is not a car built to last more than a couple of years - seriously, you won’t even get it paid off before you get tired of throwing your money into it. On top of that, any issue under warranty, requiring the dealership to fix it, has been even more of a headache. Every Chevy dealer I’ve been to with a warranty issue has given me the run around, holding my car hostage for weeks while they “wait for parts.” Well, makes sense they don’t have the parts when every 2014 Cruze has the same issue at the same time. But on top of the long waits for warranty issues to he resolved, Chevy service departments have been rude or non-communicative at best. Do not buy a Chevy Cruze. I would recommend staying away from Chevy all together but I do not have first hand experience with any other model so maybe that isn’t fair. Either way, do not buy this car. Do not buy this car. Do not buy this car. I cannot say it enough. You will regret buying this car.

Purchased in July 2013 and just turner 21,000 miles. I'm 6'2", 205 lbs. and ergonomics are outstanding: seats, leg room, convenient controls, short throws on manual transmission. Suspension is excellent for low priced sedan. Decent performance in 3rd - 6th. Excellent gas mileage. Generally 33 - 35 mpg in mixed driving (70 - 30 highway vs. city). Can squeak out 40 on 4 lanes with cruise set at 60 - 62. However, prefer to cruise 75 - 80. Cabin is quiet; little road or wind noise.

Totally average, it looks like a Honda or a Toyota but for half the cost. Drives very well, cornering with stock tires is excellent, and getting in and out of the vehicle is a snap. The problem is in the false fuel economy reports for this car. The average is nowhere near 30 miles per gallon, it's about 24. In the city, the computer constantly showed about 16.5 miles per gallon. For a four cylinder???? How is this possible! I didn't get on it very much, just your average driver, and I could not get above 17 miles per gallon. The EPA fuel economy estimates are WAY off. On the freeway, it's advertised as getting 36 MPG or better, but in REALITY (there's that word again), I was getting about 28 miles per gallon. For a four cylinder car, this is supposed to be an economy car, it is totally inexcusable. What I really disliked about my Cruze was the rapid devaluation; the value was going down by the week much faster than my payments, so that if I would have kept it, I would have paid $32,000 for a car that would be worth only $3,500 at the end of the payments. Totally unacceptable. I had to get rid of it. And being as this is a first car for many new, young car buyers, the insurance costs were much higher than normal--right up there with the Camaro and Ford Mustang. Ownership costs for this average car are ridiculous. But it was fun to drive and had a very quiet ride with a great stereo system.

I just bought a 2014 Chevy Cruze LT last night from a licensed wholesale guy. It has 109,000 miles and looked and felt like a nice little car to teach my 15 and 16 year old kids to drive. We spent a lot of time checking it out and scanning for codes using the little meter. It drive well. The engine seemed a bit noisy with ticking but I was reassured it had something to do with fuel injection. After we decided to purchase it, I drove it over an hour and the ticking sounds seems to be louder and more obnoxious. We parked in a parking lot checking out some of the features and it was dark, right before turning off the ignition I noticed the lights dim. I’ve now been reading reviews like crazy, losing sleep over it being described as a “death trap” and many people experiencing total loss of power while driving on freeways etc. We live off a 70 MPH freeway. Having mechanical issues from the get go and reading everyone’s horror stories is making me feel really sick right now. I guess I’m stuck paying the “Stupid Tax” and will be out a little bit of money but I’m getting rid of this car ASAP and NOT letting my kids drive it. Super upsetting.

I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze LT. I bought it in 2017 and have had nothing but problems with this car. Between the air flow performance, the engine itself, the coils, the sensors, the stabilitrak, everything! This car is a money pit and I would not recommend it to anyone. You fix one problem just to have another in two weeks. If you don’t mind throwing money into a car to fix it, go for it. They’re nice cars to look at; it drives smooth when there isn’t any problems. MPG is great, so is the speakers in the car.

What can you expect from a company vehicle? If you see a car simply as an appliance,it's not bad. But if you are looking for a sedan with comfort and performance, shop somewhere else. The Cruze is pretty lousy. The car is underpowered for a sedan weighing over 3,000 pounds. If you are going 70 MPH on the highway and step on the accelerator, hoping to pass up another car, this thing is a dog. You are better off getting a Corolla for a little better price and better MPG. Only 29 MPG is not very rave fuel economy for a car with only 138 HP. Worst yet are the seats. it's like sitting on a cement park bench. Everyone at my company who drives this car complains about the discomfort.

I purchased this 2014 Cruze in Sept. for one reason and one reason only - 38 mpg. I'm not even getting 30. The 6 speed auto transmission is clunky and herky jerky. Every control is slow to respond. No trunk release anywhere on the car, only on the key, and it won't work if it is in the ignition. All in all this car is a HUGE disappointment and I would not recommend it to anyone. Jan. 2016 Have had my Cruz for 3 years now. Have never, ever gotten more than 33 MPG. Heating System and the A/C are under powered. Freeze in the winter, bake in the summer. The Information System is a joke, almost nonexistent. Car is difficult to get out of as well. I would do a better job of comparison shopping before I purchased another Cruz. July 2017: Still getting sub-par MPG. Have never,ever gotten more the 33 MPG. Still difficult getting in and out of. The Climate Control is still under performing. I have Jeff Perry GMC do all of my Service work. After JP Chevrolet screwed me on the deal, I never, ever go there and never ever will. I also warn all my Friends to be very careful when dealing with JP Chevrolet as it is "BUYER BEWARE".

This is a company car which I am mandated to drive via my position. If I had a choice I would dump this thing in the deep blue sea. The seating is terribly uncomfortable and lacks any scrupulous ergonomic measures. The car is powered by a weak 4 cylinder, 1.4L engine that sounds like a lawn mower. I dread having to get in and out of this car every morning. The doors are heavy and do not have a rest fulcrum which allows users to get in and out comfortably without the heavy door slamming into your leg. The aesthetics are ok, mainly the interior and dashboard are the only redeeming qualities in this bucket of bolts. It lacks any unique beauty or style. MPG is a solid 30.

1.4T PCV and coolant system pain in the you know.

Bought this 2014 LT 1.4T in the summer in Texas, at 86K miles. Once it finally got cold outside(DEC/JAN) I noticed foul burning oil smells coming from the heater vents, like toxic obnoxious overwhelming nauseating smells. This car is known for several issues and there are ways to get long fixes, but for only 86K miles it shouldn't have had those issues. Fast forward to 95K miles and have figured that as long as I keep the fan OFF while idling at a light or in traffic, the nauseating smells dont permeate the cabin. Heater can be ran during any vehicle speed without smells. Also, engine light came on and end result was the PCV valve on the valve cover. Which failed due to the infamous check valve in the intake manifold had disappeared. I found a great long term repair thanks to the guys at https://www.cruzetalk.com/. Fast forward to 110K miles, water pump failed. 120K miles, output water/coolant fitting failed. I will update so long as I have this car. Do not recommend this car.

I am pretty late to this review since I bought this new back in 2014. But, I regret that purchase to this day. 26,000 FOR THIS TURD! Its insane. It had a Pioneer PREMIUM sound system, and 2 months into ownership the speaker got messed up and rattled like heck all the time (never cranked it that high). Then, at 60,000 miles the turbo blew! Thankfully it was covered by warranty but that should not have happened at that mileage. Now I just got a 2020 Accord Sport which is something I can drive forever! Stay away from these!

I've had 3-4 water pumps. Had to replace my motor around 153,000 miles about $6,900. And now ac compressor trying to go out at 153,754 miles and the replacement is $1,256. Oil change was done regularly. But it's great on gas. Just get your transmission fluid change. I really like my car but its getting expensive to fix

The title best describes the Cruze: it’s a fun and comfortable sedan in the shell of a drab econobox. The Cruze overall isn’t a Mercedes not is it a Focus ST, but it’s the best for the price point on the used market. Being part of the “Scion demographic” meaning young and sport-minded: The thing takes corners great until the body lean gets unbearable and it keeps up with most unsporty vehicles until third gear makes its move. Also the aftermarket is kinda lax for the Cruze, especially the 1.8L engine. I beat on my car like no tomorrow, full throttle everywhere and I’m not afraid to take it anywhere. I have yet to experience any major repairs let alone a service bill that has a comma on it. The 1.8L I4 has been pretty reliable over the almost 100,000 hard miles I’ve put on it. Most repairs were non-abuse areas like the infotainment module or the cv boot. The most expensive being the coolant system after a valve leakage at a cost of around $600. The paint durability would be my only complaint. It’s no Toyota on reliability, but it won’t leave you stranded. It hasn’t for me in the last 3-1/2 years. It will leave you toasted in the winter with the heater and ice cold in the summer though!

I got this car brand new in January 2014 and I still have it now but am getting rid of it. It only has 24,000 miles on it and it's January of 2018. I loved this car in the beginning it was zippy and fun to drive. First my car warned me about having a cracked axle. Took it to dealer and they fixed the recall. The batter was very weak and car had no power so I checked the battery and it was way too small for car. One day on a rainy day my window wouldn't roll up, but they fixed it. Then my car was burning gas at about 4 times the normal rate. I mean really fast then while driving my car completely stopped cars were coming at me and I was scared not knowing what was going on. It was weird it had gas, it didn't start, the battery was fine, seemed like nothing, had it towed home, then to Chevy the next day and they said "contaminated gas" well according to my fuel burning and I park in the garage it was not contaminated it was a faulty fuel pump. They replaced it but was going to charge me over 1000.00 since I was 2 weeks past my 3 year warranty. Made some calls and luckily they did it for free. One day I noticed I had a huge bubble on the side wall of my tire so I took the car in to get a new tire and he told me the 2 front tires look super old and had been sitting in the sun for a very long time. He showed me the whole side wall was cracked all the way around the outside of the tire and said he was surprised they lasted this long. So I replaced them the back two were good. Then I got a letter saying the steering might lock up while driving and I will lose control, thank God it didn't happen. All in all I loved this car but all these breakdowns make me feel very unsafe in it. It's too much hassle a new car should come new and working. I won't buy this again

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a car. I bought it and within a year and a half (20,800 miles) I had to replace: the blower motor the coolant system the positive power cable the negative power cable the ABS power cable the radio power cable and the ABS sensor harness on both sides. That is horrible for it being that new and the largest concern is I had all these problems and the light never came on. THAT IS SCARY! I almost could break because of the ABS issue.

Bought this car brand new in 2014. Since then it has had about 5 different recalls. And not cheap ones either. Every recall I’ve had on this car is the same recall as all the others with recalls. When I called several dealerships they told me my vin didn’t match to the ones issued recalls and there was nothing they could do. So I’ve ended up paying for all these repairs out of pocket. Dealerships wouldn’t push to help and I even called GM and exchanged messages over a period of 4 days and they wouldn’t even help me with their own garbage product. After fixing a Turbo that went out, oil pan gasket leak, all the components that leak anti freeze.....there’s 3 different ones recalled by the way, and fixing the right front axle shaft, and the other day a service Stabilitrak light came on which I still have to figure out and you guess it not for recall on my car. I don’t care if somebody gave you this car for free stay away from it, you’ll end up paying more to fix the thing then it’s actually worth. I’ve always heard them calls $hitty chevys and that is what I promise you’re buying. My car to this day only has 120,000 miles and I’ve had all those issues.

I got a 2014 Cruze brand new. I always maintained the car and it was typically used for me commuting back and forth from college (back country roads, no city miles). First, the material of the oil cap is ridiculous and broke off into the oil reservoir when trying to service so don’t even attempt changing your own oil. At 100,000 miles the entire engine started failing. Left me stranded 3 times, after the 2nd time I got the engine rebuilt almost entirely and here I am, almost 4 months later with a blown head gasket. Even my family mechanic who we’ve used for over 20 years has told me to get rid of this car because they don’t even want to see it anymore. Once they saw someone else with my car pull in they really wanted to turn them away. I wouldn’t wish this car on my worst enemy and the worst part is that I still owe at least 3k. I don’t even feel comfortable selling this car to anyone so I’m truly at a loss.

My wife and I just purchased a 2014 Chevy Cruze Ltz. I have been a life long Chevy consumer and was looking for a compact to midsize car that was kind of sporty but dependable. After research, the Cruze was the car we were shooting for. We went to our local Chevy dealer and requested to test drive the Cruze I saw on their website. It is a 2014 LTZ, with black exterior and interior with all the bells and whistles. The 18" wheels look good on this car. The interior is comfortable but the back seats are a little cramped. The front dash and surrounding area is easily accessible.

Also when i turn on the air conditioning comes a chemical odor from the air vents, i have to open all windows until it disappear. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS CAR. I decided to buy this car because i have always been a GM fan, all my cars in the past were from this company except a Fusion that was terrible too. Finally i traded in this junk. It looks really nice and rides decent but the seat comfort is horrible.
