Big Guy in a small car.

It takes a while to get satisfied with the start stop technology. I don't even notice it now. My last 2 cars were loaded Chrysler 300 AWD. I like this car for its crisp handling, easy parking, and good gas mileage. I am 6 ft 285 pounds. I am 70 and no longer take road trips. It is hard for me to get good gas mileage because the places I go are usually 3 miles or less. As an old fogey I am not much into technology, but the bluetooth and smart phone work great together. I have a 29 year old friend who likes the built in technology features i do not use. I lease the car for 101 a month for 24 months including taxes ,fees ,etc. with $ 2000 up front so I really don'r know a $ amount paid for the car.

Overall the car is satisfactory, but it's had some problems. If I had it to do over I would stick with Honda or Toyota.

We loved our Cruze hatchback until it started smelling like a pig farm. Have talked to others that had the same problem. And later we had mice living in the spare tire area. That added a different smell to the mix. Why does Chevy leave body openings where mice and even rats can enter the cabin and air intake areas.

I leased the LT hatchback for three years. With eight months to go I’ve had no problems. Great gas mileage and a comfortable ride. Lots of safety and tech features for the money.

Prior to this car, my mom was letting me drive her ‘14 Cruze (avoid the first gen at all costs. I learned that recently, dealing with the car as it is my sisters now). I purchased the car as a certified used car in early 2018 with a little over 5k miles. I sold the car in the middle of 2021 with about 41k miles on it. While I had the car, the radio had to be replaced due to defects and one of my cylinders had to be replaced. Acceleration was below par and the transmission gave noticeable and disappointing shifts. The seats were uncomfortable and I feel in hindsight I could have gotten different car for a similar price with more options. The paint chipped and scratched easily and the engine had an annoying hissing sound. All in all, it got me where I needed to go even when I drove it like a race car. Apple CarPlay was a nice addition on the car since it had just been released the year prior.
