I was in the market for a car with a great cargo space and good gas mileage. The Cruze Hatch met those requirements plus it has a great interior. The road noise is minimal and after a 600 mile road trip, it got great gas mileage that equaled the EPA numbers. Yes, the auto start-stop does take some time to get used to but it is not intrusive and does not engage in stop and go traffic. Surprisingly the back seats has more leg room than the SUV I traded in, even for someone sitting behind me with my long legs. The one issue is that the headrests do block a lot of the rear vision out of the back window. I really did not notice this in the daytime but at night on the expressway, it is something to be aware off. But all in all, I am happy with it and one of my coworkers liked it so much he got one too.

Great change from a foreign to a domestic

When I compared this vehicle to the foreign cars that I owned in the past, it was more superior in ride, technology system integration, price, interior/ exterior design and safety. American made cars have come a long way, I thought I would never own one, I had always owned foreign cars had three (3) Nissans, and four (4) Mercedes. This car provides great use for my business when I am away from the office; I am always connected to the internet.

52 MPG HA!! (try closer to 60 on the highway)

Well, the EPA says it's rated at 52 mpg highway and 30 city. I don't do that much city driving, but in the month that I've had it, I've put over 5000 miles on it (Sacramento CA to Williston ND and back, with another trip back to Williston. (I'll be doing that once a month) If you keep the speed under 70, on flat ground it easily averages 65 mpg, and at 85 mph it's averaging about 50. The only thing holding you back from hour after hour of driving is having to use the restroom, the car is more than willing to keep on going. It's been 100% reliable in the time that I've had it and a while it doesn't have a built in navigation system, the Android Auto is as good or better than any OEM navigation system I've used (it uses Google Maps, displayed on the 7" center screen)

Very surprised

I've always had Asian cars and German cars but I wanted to give it a try to American cars and I chose the Cruze. I couldn't be more surprised with this car and how smooth it drives. The interior design is beautiful and it's very comfortable. I'm a 6 ft guy and even though the back seat can have more head room, it's very comfortable to be a small car. The front seats are very comfortable, ironically I think the hatchback is more comfortable than the sedan (my opinion). The auto start and stop feature is awesome, it's a very smooth transition and you won't even notice it. The auto start feature is a lot better than BMW's which is not as smooth as the chevy's. It's very quiet and smooth on the road, you barely can feel harsh roads. I'm a commuter so I do not care much about power. MPG is amazing as well. I'm also impressed with the technology. I'm sure Chevrolet will keep improving this car. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this car!!

Very Very Safe car

This is my second 2017 cruze.It is my 2nd because i had totaled out the first one after only having it one month. I wreaked it into the back of a completely stopped semi (impact on semi trailer) going 60mph. I walked away from the accident at my own free will with only a few cuts on my hands and a lot of post adrenaline. I have no clue how i wreaked because i blacked out for a min, but needless to say if i was in my truck and not this car i would be dead today most likely. So that's why i leased another one! I dont like however that the fully loaded version does not have a door cupholder like ever other chevy 17 model. I also do not like that they did not put in led lights in the dome lights like the 2016+ malibu base model. Also, i wish you could charge your devices with the usb port without entering andriod auto or apply car play. Lastly, i hate the lag in acceleration after leaving auto stop. The auto stop feature has also caused my car to stall once at a stop light after trying to go on green.
