Used 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Smart Hatch
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.

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 nice compact car but
At first I thought something was wrong and almost gone back to get another car. The engine stops at the red light is annoying...I would not buy it or recommend this car to anyone without test driving it for a period of days. You probably would not like the way the car constantly jerking during starting. Same thing with the 2017 Ford Escape. I rented for a week during California visit. It has the same stop start and the jerking is worst than the Chevy Cruze. Before you buy these vehicles, test drive them at least few days. Besides that annoying stop and start, they are actually very nice and quiet vehicles.

Cruze be nimble, Cruz be Quick, Cruze has no stick
This car was made for today. It shines in the city, country, and the highway. The "Auto Stop" (car shuts off at stops to conserve gas), was a little disconcerting at first; however, when you see your city gas mileage, you don't mind. On those long lonesome country 60 MPH roads, you can get nearly 40 mile MPG. And, even with all this fuel economy, this car is quick and nibble at freeway speeds. After coming from the city, and taking it easy on a 50 mile trip to visit in-laws in the country, I got 38 miles to the the gallon (without AC on), on my way to their home. Coming home, we were running a little late, and in freeway city traffic, my Cruze was so nibble and quick darting around the clustered traffic at freeway speeds, it was almost incredible. My car has remote & push-button start, and I can unlock the doors by touching the handles. After getting to work and waiting in my Cruze to punch-in for my shift, I switch the car off and the radio and electric windows still operate, until I exit the vehicle, which is a great feature. I read one review where the person was bemoaning the "Auto Stop", while trying to pull into traffic quickly. I found if you anticipate a quick move coming, you merely have to be proactive and step on the accelerator a couple of seconds before going to take it out of the "Auto Stop" mode. This hasn't been an issue and I live in the City. With the RS package and the addition of my fog lights to the front grill, this car is a looker. Even though the Cruze Hatchback isn't rated quite as high as some of the other Hatchbacks, I beg to differ. This car is all things to most people and a great value. Did I say it corners like butter. This car is a sleeper. After 6 months, still really enjoying my Chevy Cruze Hatchback. I'll put my Cruze against any of the other Hatchbacks in appearance and luxuries. With my factory push button start, keyless entry, and remote start, really enjoying my car this winter. 10 mins. before punching out at my Michigan job, I use my remote start to deice my windows, warm the engine, and heat the seats. A little slice of heaven in a very unkind world. I also like the feature of being able to control the electrics on my car like the windows, wiper, and etc. for 10 minutes after stopping the engine. Even after 10 mins I can still listen to the radio until I go in to punch in. Because of the winters and remote start, gas mileage has really suffered, but a price I'm willing to pay to make my life so much easier during the harsh MI winter. The car is also quick with its little turbo charged engine. Deserves a look, if shopping for a car. And, one more thing, leg room in the back seat is great for a car of this size, particularly in comparison with almost every other hatchback. My Cruz has been a great addition to our family
