Worst purchase I've ever made

2017 Chevrolet Cruze LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
21 of 27 people found this review helpful
I've had this car not even a week yet and it's already in the shop for repairs. I'm not satisfied with this car and wish I could go back and get my Subaru back that I traded. This car completely stalled out on me while I was at a red light causing me to have to push the car onto a side steet where I sat for a half hour before it would restart. It's now in the shop for who knows how long because the car is so new they're having problems getting the part witch they're saying is the module of the car that has to replaced and that it's making all the signal lights come on and what not. This is a brand new car with only a hundred miles on it. What else is going to go wrong with it? This is ridiculous. I told them I wanted a different car, something and I got no where with that. They gave me a rental to use until they can get my car fixed. I wouldn't recommend anyone getting this vehicle.

2017 Chevrolet Cruze Premier 4dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful
The last year was a bit of a roller-coaster in our lives, and involved selling a bunch of stuff and relocating. Kept one vehicle, sold another (a Porsche Boxster) and I leased a Chevy Cruze Premier hatchback for myself to use daily. Moved to a colder climate and didn't want/need a convertible anymore, and our fully loaded car is SO much nicer than Chevrolets of the past and is amazingly comfortable. Honestly, it's easily as nice as our 2007 BMW 3-series was inside, and handles almost as well, incredibly. The car has been flawless so far, and feels incredibly solid and quiet, especially considering my expectations. Winter driving has also been beyond expectations, even though it's just a front-drive car with all-season tires. Our mileage approaches 40mpg on the highway, although for city driving in cold weather it's been in the low 20s. We test-drove a Cadillac ATS at the dealer with the 2.0L turbo engine, and this car could compete with a VW GTI if that engine were an option (I've had one of those, as well). Update: I'm nearing the end of the lease on this car, and it now has 32,000 miles on it, and it's been nearly perfect. Only trouble I had was with the A/C system, and the dealer ended up replacing the entire system under warranty. Aside from that, it's been standard maintenance. Tires still have some life in them, although I suspect that they're too worn for the lease return requirements. My mileage has actually improved, and typically, I get around 32mpg average on each tank of (regular) fuel. Since Chevy has discontinued the Cruze (after they finally figured out how to make a decent compact car), I'm actually considering buying out the car at the end of the lease. It's hard to find a car with comparable features at anywhere close to the price of this one.

Have the Hatchback Premier the ride is quieter then Civic . More cormfotable the Madza 3. The Ford Focus needs a lot of improvement to even be in a class with the Cruze . For the money Cruze is a contender and you add the mileage savings that equals a winner

HORRIBLE. ENGINE PROBLEMS AT 28000 MILES!

2017 Chevrolet Cruze LS 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I bought my 2017 Chevy Cruze brand new in July 2017 from the dealership and I loved it. It had about 2000 miles on it at purchase. I thought it was so sleek and the tech in the car was good (minus the manual seat adjustments). Car always drove good. I never paid more than $25 for gas to fill up my tank. Each tank lasted me about a week and I drove a lot from home to work to school and back again. Then all the sudden one night when I was leaving the bookstore when I started my car the check engine light was one. I thought okay I'll go have it checked then when I tried to back out of my parking space the power steering locked up. I turned off the car and back on and it started up fine. I made it to my next stop and again when I went to go leave I had problems. This time when I turned on the car nothing happened. The engine wouldn't turn on, no click/crank, nothing! The A/C, radio and lights would come on but my engine wouldn't. I sat for 10 minutes trying to turn the car on before it finally cranked and I was able to make it home. I scheduled it to have it serviced the next day. Turned the car on no problem that morning and drove to the dealership and explained what happened. They had my car for about 6 hours and returned it saying they could not duplicate the problem but they tightened the grounds and replaced a fuel ring that was on recall. I took my car back and it was fine for about 2 days before the problem started again. I would start the car in the morning and it took a few tries to get it to work. When trying to leave school late at night I would have to sit for 5-15 minutes before it would start. I planned on calling the dealership as soon as they opened the next day to tell them. Before I got the chance, the car completely gave up on me. When I started the car the next morning to go to work and call the dealership, it would not start at all. Again all the lights, a/c, and radio worked but not the engine. Sat out front for 30 minutes and nothing. Called the dealership and made them send a truck to tow it back and give me a loaner (they gave me a 2018 Chevy Cruze as a loaner and I'm waiting for it to screw up as well). Turns out my braking system as failed as well as the engine/transmission and electrical issues. I haven't even hit 30,000 miles on the car and only had it for a little over a year. I'm infuriated that the car does not last. It's not worth your money or the hassle. After reading other reviews on the car, many people have experienced the same problem as me starting as soon as they left the lot, 10,000 miles and up to 20,000 miles like mine. AVOID THIS CAR AT ALL COST. You'll love it in the beginning but it won't last long before the car completely goes out on you. Don't take the chance and buy something better.

Love the Turbo Diesel 6 Speed Manual

If you are looking to replace that Diesel Jetta. Take a look at this. Its a lot of fun to drive, and the standard package gives you everything you would want, except an automatic rear view mirror. The gas mileage has been incredible. You can average 50 MPG on the highway on long trips, and get 30+ on mixed driving. The engine has a lot of torque, and the shift on the manual 6 speed is crisp and a lot of fun to drive. Build quality up to this point has been great. No rattles like I have seen in the Toyota Corolla (Rented one, and I couldn't wait to bring it back.) The steering is responsive and pulling out of curves while entering and exiting the the highway is a lot of fun. I would buy another one of these in a heart beat.
