After owning this car for 3 years, I'm so thankful I purchase the extended warranty, I have claimed this warranty at least 12 times, This last time I have drove my car 6 days in the last month since its been at the chevy dealership for repairs, so far a few things I've had to replace 3 turbos, water pump, all things connecting to water pump, battery, positive battery cable, gas pedal, starter, two electrical boxes on top of the battery, and blown head gasket, overflow jug, and its just keeps on going, This car is NOT dependable. If they fixed the issues that these cars have it would be a great car!(which now they wont since this car is no longer made) I love the car if it didn't have all these issues and i could drive it on a daily without fear of it not starting or starting and dying. Oh and the resale value is awful, trade in value is even worse, keep shopping I promise there are better options.

I purchased this LTZ Cruze new with just a handful of miles. I've owned it for 9 months now and currently have 36k miles on the car. First off seating comfort. If it's just for two people it's great. For a family it's not. The back seats are VERY cramped for anyone. However most of the time it's just me and my wife so it suits us just fine. Front seats are fine. I'm 6'6" and fit comfortably. Road trips I have driven it from Nashville, TN to New Orleans, LA and averaged about 38mpg. I seem to only get between 36 - 38mpg when I am on back roads doing 60mph or less. Interstate travel at 70 - 75mph however I tend to get about 30 - 32mpg. I prefer the back roads which suits me fine. And this car loves curvy roads. Handling is quite nice. Very little body roll. And the steering is very tight/sharp. I have also done many trips into the mountains with this car. From Cleveland, TN up to Bryson City, NC to Cherokee/Maggie Valley NC. As well as on up into the mountains around Harlam, KY and Pennington Gap, VA. Again this car loves curves and so far handles mountain climbs without any struggle. My only complaint is the breaks. They do stop, don't get me wrong. However they feel like they could use an upgrade. Sometimes breaking, especially on mountain roads, I can feel vibrations in the brakes. I've been in much heavier cars and other sports cars (mustangs, Trans Ams) and those all had higher stopping power than the Cruze. Since this is probably going to be a car that I'll be keeping for a long time, I may invest in a brake upgrade once the factory ones have served their purpose. My other complaint is typical of most American made cars. Value. The LTZ purchased new, with all the bells and whistles, heated leather seats etc etc costed right at $38k. Resell now, especially with 36k miles on the car would be lucky to get 18k to 20k for it. You get upside down the very minute you drive this one off the lot. Which as stated above, a car that I'll be keeping for quite some time. So know this before investing in a Cruze. You'll need to love it....because you'll be stuck with it. And lastly, another complaint however it seems they fixed it with the 2016 and 2017 models compared to my 2015 one. Performance. I only really notice the performance drag when I am in the mountains. If I am running the A/C while going up mountain/twisty roads, the automatic transmission shifts horribly. Sometimes it feels like it's downshifting into 5th or even 6th gear while I'm still climbing and doing 45. Just for a few minutes to pass and then it'll decide to shift into a lower gear. Easy enough to work around it, switch it to manual mode and do the shifting yourself which is what I do. Minor issue but still worth noting. But all in all, I am happy with the car. It serves it's purpose.

Absolutely horrible. In 2 years, replaced head gasket, water reservoir, All tire sensors have gone out, battery, locks stopped working, car slips going into reverse, and I still have a check engine light after picking up from the dealership 6 days ago. :( I hate this car! !

Best Buy Used

Purchased mine with 58,000 miles and warranty. The car was listed for 12k and I purchased it for 10k. It has every option except Nav - LTZ RS Package. Great handling car but is built to be a economy car with fuel mileage. Check service history and complete all required service and it should last as long as you own it. Service is the key to these cars! I would buy another if it was a low mileage example with a warranty.
