I got my GM Certified Pre-Owned 2017 Cruze Premier with only 15k miles on it. I went with the intention of buying a Malibu, but after driving the Cruze I was so pleasantly surprised, I bought it instead of the Malibu. I have only put on a little over 1000 miles in the few weeks I've owned it, but it has not disappointed. I drive 100+ miles round trip 2-3 days per week for work, through moderate rush hour traffic (so no using cruise control, and some slow downs and stop-and-go traffic), and the seat comfort and ride quality have been great. I wish in the Premier at least there was adjustable lumbar support, but the seats are plenty comfortable anyway, so no big deal. The Bluetooth, Android Auto, SiriusXM, voice recognition, etc, all work flawlessly without any hiccups. Climate controls are simple to use. Performance wise, I'm not sure what the deal is with Edmund's review. Most other review sites put the 0-60 around 8.0 seconds, some even under 8.0 seconds. I would agree with those test results. The 1.4L turbo has plenty of pep. Merging and passing on the freeway is easy. Plenty of instant torque down low in the RPM's. I had driven a 2016 2.0L Mazda 3i before buying the Cruze, and in daily driving, the Cruze is way more peppy. The Mazda had to get the revs up before it had any power. Gas mileage for me has been a little over 33 combined, based on miles divided by gallons @ fill ups. The trip computer says about 35 combined, I've had it read as high as 42 in highway driving. My driving is about 50/50 highway/city. But my highway driving often includes some rush-hour traffic, so it isn't pure highway cruising. I agree that the engine start-stop feature should have a turn-off. But if I'm in traffic and I don't want it to stop, I simply shift down from D into L, which disables the auto-stop feature. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the my purchase. We'll see how long-term reliability is, but so far I'm pleased with every other aspect of the car. Update at 33k miles: Still completely satisfied with this car. Zero problems or repairs. I think I like the car better now than when I bought it.

I am really having a ball driving this car as I have been very conservative with previous rides - been driving Chevrolet products exclusively since my first 1972 Chevette. The only 2 problems I find with the car is the rear/side visibility when merging into traffic. I am only 5' tall and look around as best I can, cross my fingers and go for it. So far, so good. I also find the vehicle lacking in electronic connections. Despite my age I am a techie and have several items to plug in - dash cam, laptop, etc., and the car just doesn't have the capacity to utilize all I'd like to.

After being in a 2004 Toyota Corolla I took a leap of faith and went with a 2017 Chevy Cruze. I am very happy with my choice. I think the engine is peppy and has good acceleration. I don't understand why there are a few pro blogs and reviews that this engine is not strong enough. I test drove a few other cars like the new Civic, new 2016 Corolla, and an Elantra... This 1.4 Turbo engine deigned by GM is more than fine. Especially for an entry level price point. I am tall 6'3" and I weight 275... Yet I fit perfectly. I think this car is an excellent choice and I am glad I took it over the other competitors.

I had a great experience with my 2014 Cruze so I did not hesitate to lease the 2017 once my current lease expired. The new and improved Cruze is just that in every conceivable way. Handling, safety, appearance, technology, visibility, fuel efficiency and rear seat room have all been improved. It is the perfect vehicle to take me back and forth from school. Don't let the start/stop technology get you nervous. If I didn't look for it, I wouldn't even know that the engine was turning off as I stopped at a red light. It's a seamless transition as the engine instantly starts the moment that begin to take my foot off the brake. There is no lag and no hesitation. The kinetic blue with the RS package looks great and the Apple Car Play works perfectly with my phone. It was between this and a Civic and this car looked better, offered more and the dealership closed the deal with a great offer.

We read all the good reviews and thought we were making a good purchase. I'm pretty sure all of the reviewers that posted good reviews are now experiencing problems. Should have read the bad reviews first. You should not have to buy a new engine at 70,000 miles. Even though we had frequent oil changes and maintenance, yes the engine failed. Still making car payments and now have to pay for a new engine. GM knows about the issues and still continues to make a profit by selling this piece of junk. I've read horror stories from others that are sinking more money into the car than it's worth because they are still making payments.

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.

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.

The hidden gem of the automotive industry

2017 Chevrolet Cruze LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I rented this car for two days and it was amazing! At 50mpg the cruise control indicated 60mpg and at 70mph it was 42mpg. The claimed 47mpg highway entirely believable if a bit conservative. The range with a full tank (13 gallons) was an indicated 538 miles. These are incredible numbers for a vehicle that is not a diesel and is of this size. The seats were very comfortable. I drove non-stop from Fort Lauderdale to Jacksonville without a single ache or pain. The cabin was very quiet. I carried on several conversations while on the move and not once did exterior noise interfere. Which gets me to the Bluetooth connectivity. The pairing to my LG Aristo was effortless and connections to it once I started the car were instant. The backup camera was clear with the display being large enough to be effective. The steering assist lines on the display curve as you turn the steering wheel and while I never really got accustomed to them enough to trust what they were telling me, they seemed to be accurate enough. The stereo had easy-to-use controls and had very good sound. The 1.4L turbocharged engine was smooth, quiet and eager to please. Flooring the pedal brought decent acceleration that surprised me every time I did it. The 6 speed automatic shifted crisply and smoothly and never hunted for gears. The brakes were firm, linear, and positive. I love them if only because they are discs front and rear, a feature thankfully becoming the norm, even on small, economy cars. What didn't I like? To be fair, the following will be mere quibbles and nothing in the list would prevent me from buying one or renting one again. My biggest problem with this car was the parking brake. Located as a pedal on the floor, that was at first a nice touch. I like pedal-operated parking brakes because they keep my hands free to grab my belongings in a hurry. But this one was a bit unpleasant. It was mounted fairly high, had very little travel and was stiff. My wife has a 2011 Camry and by comparison that pedal,-operated parking brake is effortless. It was also difficult to tell if it was disengaged fully, forcing me to check the dashboard to see if the indicator light was extinguished. I suspect most owners will opt to not use it and just use the transmission to keep the car from rolling away (a practice I do not subscribe to). The next item on my list is the stop-start feature. This was a welcome feature in and of itself. The engine shut down and restarted so quickly and smoothly that it took several miles before I realized that it was happening! The tachometer does display when it is active by dipping below zero to an area labelled as "AUTO STOP". The moment the car comes to a stop the engine shuts down. Release the foot brake and the engine comes to life before your foot gets back on the gas and off you go. Nice. But my problem is that if you take your foot off the brake to creep forward a bit, the feature is disabled entirely and the engine restarts and remains on. Putting the car in Park also causes the engine to restart. If the air con was of and it is turned on, the engine restarts. The engine doesn't remain off for long and restarts (even with your foot still on the brake) after a few minutes. This is understandable because the battery is being depleted with the accessories still running. The windows are all one-shot on the downward travel, but must be held in the up direction. My wife's Camry has one-shot on all windows in both directions. I am yet to understand why other manufacturers don't see this as viable. Who wants to sit there holding window buttons when there are things in the world to be done?!? That manumatic shift feature. I had to Google it to figure out how it worked. And as far as I am concerned it should be deleted entirely. A total waste of engineering, if you ask me. You have to move the shifter down into L range and then press the "+" or "-" button on top of the selector to get higher or lower gears, respectively. It would be better to have a gate to the left or right of the selector and allow the shifter itself to be toggled...preferably like Mazda correctly has it: pull back for upshifts, push forward for downshifts. The steering was nicely weighted and felt direct, but was a little too sensitive at centre. That made keeping straight in a lane, particularly with crosswinds, a bit tricky. The stereo. Why are the volume up and down controls hidden on the underside of the right hand spoke of the steering wheel?!? And there are two other buttons under the left spoke that I am yet to figure out. What I hate: The reverse lights come on when you exit the car...a stupid and dangerous feature that all GM cars unfortunately currently feature. It gives the impression that the car is backing up and cause a panic situation which may lead to an accident. STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS, GM! Otherwise, this is an amazing little car that deserves consideration.

Within 90 days my new 2017 Chevy Cruze stopped on me in the middle of an intersection. Fortunately two good Samaritans pushed the car from danger. The check engine light came on. Took the car in and they said nothing is wrong with the car. On-Star notification said critical engine and transmission repair. Chevy dealership says, "Well, just bring it back if it breaks down again. We cannot find anything wrong with it." Seriously!!!

The "auto stop" feature on my new 2017 Cruze is the most annoying thing I have ever seen in a car. When trying to get out of the parking lot at work every afternoon, my car engine turns itself off and then back on 4 or 5 times every day depending on how many cars are ahead of me. Same thing happens in a turn lane or when driving behind a school bus in the morning. I've contacted Chevy and was told that there is no wat to by-pass or disable the auto stop so I am stuck with it. My last 5 cars have all been Chevys and I've been happy with them until now but this auto stop is so inconvenient that I will probably never buy another Chevy.

Stuck With A Lemon

I bought a 2017 Chevy Cruze for my daughter who will be graduating from college soon. I took money out of my retirement fund because I wanted her to have a good, reliable car. The problems began almost immediately. There is a system that is supposed to save on gas use called auto-stop. It does one of 4 things when you apply the brake to stop the car. 1. The car stops and the engine idles like a normal car, when you put your foot on the gas pedal, the car starts moving forward. 2. The car stops and the engine turns off, when you put your foot on the gas pedal, the engine starts up and the car goes forward. 3. The car stops and the engine turns off, when you put your foot on the gas pedal, the car seems to pause for a moment, then the engine rattles a little and the engine comes back on and the car goes forward. 4. The car stops and the engine turns off, when you put your foot on the gas pedal, nothing happens and you have to shift the car in to park and manually restart the engine because it has completely turned off. I took the car in to the service manager and he test drove it and saw what it is doing. However, he told me that there is nothing that can be done to fix the problem because it is controlled by a computer component that can not be fixed or even accessed by any Chevy service department. The following day I called a different Chevy dealer service department and I was told the same thing. The problem can not be fixed. I can not afford to buy my daughter another car so she is stuck with a LEMON that can’t be fixed. I am considering talking to a lawyer to find out if I have any legal options at this point.

I was given a '17 Cruze LT to use for 5 days while my car was in for service and I was less than impressed. My mom had a '13 Cruze LS that I drove a few thousand miles when she was leasing it, it was in many ways a far better small car. The new Cruze uses a start/stop mode to save fuel, it was terrible. The engine "shudders" when it stops and starts. Very poor execution of this "feature". The transmission also always feels like it's trying to find a gear for max fuel economy and when you need to accelerate the car feels "lazy". The seats were also poor, very flat versus the last gen which were not too bad. Overall it seems obvious the entire car was developed on a tight budget and it really felt and looked "cheaper" that the last Cruze. Weak effort GM.

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.

HORRIBLE. ENGINE PROBLEMS AT 28000 MILES!

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.

I have bought Chevrolets most of my life. This is my favorite. It is classy looking and I have gotten many compliments. It fits into my budget and is great on gas. I hope to buy another car very similar in the future. I love the phone number feature and Bluetooth. I really do not like many distractions while I am driving, but these make driving my car fun. The only feature I would change is how it handles on ice. I did not buy snow tires and in my opinion this car does need them.

I have owned many GM cars over the last 55 years. I always was pleased but my Cruze Premier model exceeds all the others. The new styling is very eye catching. Mine has the RS package and has all the extras available and love them all. Mine has the two tone calihari/ black interior and have had many, many compliments. The color plus the interior makes the car very eye catching. I have had a lot of individuals see the front chevy bow tie and ask what model is it. When I ask what do they think it is most get it wrong. Until you see the premier cruze badge in back that is the definitive clue. It is a joy to drive and has gotten 41/42 miles per gallon on long trips. Other cruze owners when they see it actually tell me they wish they had bought the Premier addition. It has all the bells and whistles and not cheap but you get exactly what the more expensive GM models I.E. (Cadillac and top of the line Buicks) offer for much less. Maybe it is just me but I love it.

Where to begin? The very day I bought the car it refused to start. I was leaving the dealership when I noticed there was no temporary permit in the back window. As I got out of the car, one set of keys was in the vehicle. The car honked at me, which is normal, to warn me the keys were still in it. When I got back in, the car refused to start. I saw a message stating there was no key fob detected. So, back in the dealership I went. My salesperson told me this happens but the fix is simple. He placed the key fob in some pocket and started the car. Off I went thinking that was just a one and done glitch. This was only the beginning. A few weeks later I was at the grocery store where I parked and walked in. After about 20 minutes I came back out and started the car. My phone refused to connect to the bluetooth. I power cycled the audio system and that didn't fix it. I re-paired the phone with the car and that worked. This was the first of MANY times I had to reconnect my phone to the car. One night while driving there was a message on the screen stating my brakes were failing. When I applied the brakes the car would shudder but still stop. I got out at my destination and when I came back, the error was gone and the issue seemed to resolve itself. So far there have been five unscheduled trips to the Chevy dealership where I was told there was nothing wrong with car even after showing them video of the issue occurring and one time while actually at the dealership with a technician in the car. One time I shut the car off and the stereo kept playing like it's supposed to do. Once you open the door it's supposed to shut off. It didn't. Kept playing. I got out, shut the doors and it still kept playing. I was even able to place a phone call (to the Chevy service department) from outside my car even though that should not have happened. I was told nothing was wrong and that was normal operation. Fed up, I told my service advisor to keep the car until all of the issues have been resolved. The end result? They replaced the human/machine interface which seemed to have resolved my audio system issues. They also replaced the module that controls the key fob problem I was having. It seems there have been multiple issues reported and they finally found and fixed the issue. Imagine that. The start/stop will drive you mad. The only way to bypass that "feature" is to place the transmission into "Manual Mode", or "L" on the gear selector, hit the "+" symbol until you reach, "6" on the display and drive it normally. It effectively places the transmission into dumb mode and the stop/start won't activate. So, to recap: Failure to start due to key fob undetected: Five times. Failure to connect to my phone: Stopped counting after 37 times. Brake anomaly: One time. Finally, if you're considering this car: Don't do it. Sure, it's great on gas but that's about all it's great on. When the lease is up, my nightmare will end.

Good looking car from inside and out. Love the handsome exterior body lines and 18 inch wheels. interior has a great infotainment center. Front seat comfort is terrible needs lumbar support. Rides very quiet and smooth cruising around town. I hate the Auto start and stop feature sometimes a little rough when car starts back up. Overall im happy i purchased the Cruze and hope i have many miles of worry free maintenance!

Not the Worst

2017 Chevrolet Cruze LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Let me preface this by saying I wanted one of these cars ever since they released the new body style for gen 2, and I finally got my very own 2017 Chevy Cruze LT with the RS package in July 2020. I bought it with 30k miles on it and in the past year and a half I've put 20k miles on it, so I feel pretty comfortable making a review now. The pros: Probably the biggest pro and the thing that overshadows all the negatives in my book is that this car has never left me sit (yet). I've heard some scary things about the reliability of the Cruze, especially the 1.4L turbo, but in my case, it's never let me down. This car is really good on gas-- I've hit over 40mpg on long road trips and usually make it about 340miles on a full tank for my day-to-day driving. For a small car, it's pretty roomy. I don't have any children or anything, but I've taken my Cruze on hiking trips, camping trips, road trips, etc., and it can comfortably fit myself, about 1-2 other people, and our belongings. I was really surprised by how much trunk space there is, again, for such a small car. The brakes and steering are very responsive and I feel like it handles really well. The cons: These are general annoyances and things that I've mostly learned to live with, but things I would've liked to know before buying. The technology is pretty buggy. Sometimes my phone won't connect to Apple CarPlay even though it's plugged in and I need to unplug my phone multiple times to get it to work, sometimes certain features don't show up on the display, and once or twice the display has gone completely dark and I've lost power to the whole stereo system for about a minute. The turn signal noise doesn't always work, which I've learned is also tied into the stereo system. I loved the interior when I bought it (and I still mostly do) except there are a lot of shiny chrome accents that always catch the sun at the perfect angle to beam a ray of light directly into your eyes. While this car can go pretty fast, I feel like it's still pretty sluggish to start-- you really have to give it the beans to get her to go from a dead stop. Speaking of a dead stop, let's talk about the start-stop feature. When I was researching this car before I bought it I came across a lot of people complaining about the start-stop feature, and I thought, "No biggie, I can deal with that and it'll save me gas." But as I'm sure plenty of other reviews have mentioned, there is no way to disable this feature, and there are a couple of implications of that. In traffic, if you're at a point where you're just crawling up a little bit, there's a certain point where you're moving slow enough/putting just enough pressure on the brake pedal for the car to say "Yes, I'm going to turn off," and then you will jolt to a stop. When you release the brake slightly because you don't want to be at a dead stop and the car decides to start back up, you jolt forward. It also seems to shut off at the most random times. Sitting at a stop sign or a red light behind a row of cars? The Chevy Cruze is not likely going to shut off. Sitting at a stop sign where you need to have some pep in your step to make a left turn onto a busy road? You bet the Chevy Cruze will turn off then. I've also had this problem when shifting from drive to reverse. The start-stop feature doesn't work in reverse, so sometimes if you come to a stop and the car decides to shut off even partially, then you shift it into reverse, there's a noisy "thunk" and jolt into reverse. Maybe I'm just too dumb for this feature, but it really impedes normal driving and driving habits in my opinion. Most features work as intended, the power windows, seats, and sunroof work, I love the heated mirrors for cold days and the heated seats are a lifesaver (I even use them in the summer for my back pain), but as it's getting colder I'm at the point where I remote start my car every morning to get it to defrost (which is also an awesome feature that I genuinely love) however it doesn't do any good if I don't pre-set everything the day prior. Once the car warms up and defrosts, I need to keep moving for it to maintain its temperature. The needle typically sits at the middle of the gauge unless I'm stopped and it's less than 25 degrees (F) outside, which isn't uncommon for PA winters at 6 in the morning, then the temp will actually go down and the heat gradually gets colder and colder until I start moving again and get it up to temperature. And that pretty much wraps it up, at least the biggies. If you got this far, thanks for reading this novel. All in all, I don't think I would recommend this car because it annoys the heck out of me, but it gets me where I need to go and I guess that's what really counts, and if you can overlook these general annoyances, it's a decent little car.

Put over 10,000 miles on the car in the first 3 months. 200 to 1400 mile trips on highway and interstate. Have had from 36 mpg to 44 mpg with an average just below 40. Odometer mileage shows just a little better than actual. Wish you could disable auto stop and buttons on steering wheel need to be raised a little more so you aren't feeling around or looking at the wheel. But it does what I bought it for. Good mileage in relative comfort. Good commuter car.

Yesterday my daughter was in a horrifying car crash on I95 in SC when she was in a multi vehicle car accident. If you could see the pictures you’d wonder how ALL 3 in the car escaped without a scrape! The trooper, paramedic and doctor on scene stated they shouldn’t have walked away BUT THEY DID!! The air bags in this vehicle were beyond anything you’d ever expect! The car is a total loss but my children and granddaughter are ALIVE because this car saved their lives!!! I will buy another for SURE!!

I got stuck with a Cruze on a Maui visit and drove the car for about 500 mostly highway miles. Pro: compared to Chevys of older vintage the car doesn't look as cheap and it rides relatively well. The Apple Car Play works very well. Con: I averaged 30.6 mph in very conservative mostly highway driving which is a far cry from the stated fuel economy. I often got into L when wanting to shift into D, and at times would forget the key in the car (it has one of those useless start/stop buttons). Also the back of my seat wasn't padded adequately and I could feel my kids moving around behind me. Loading stuff into the trunk was a chore due to the height of the trunk entry. Overall: decent enough but why would you buy one when the same money gets you a Golf, Civic or Corolla?

So let me start off by saying this, I love this car. I’m 18 so it was a little hard for me picking a car that was stylish, but this was it. And boy am I GLAD I went for it. I went from driving a 2000 Lincoln gas guzzling boat to driving this small yet very fuel efficient car. Now yes, it does have a small fuel tank, but it last a surprisingly long time (with proper driving etiquette)! Now it does have an auto stop feature which saves gas when stopped for longer periods of time which does save gas. My only real complaint again is the smaller fuel tank. I wish it was a little bit bigger, but with it being small, means it takes fewer dollars to fill it up! Who doesn’t love a car you don’t dread going to the gas pump with. The sound also sounds immaculate, though I’ve noticed that it does seem quiet down a bit when slowing down the car. Personally, I don’t really like it because I drive alone and love to have my music quite loud. But other than that, the sound is very rich, balanced, and the car even lets you customize the EQ, and how loud you want it to be! For the driver, you’ll be sitting pretty comfortable. Now, I’m a big boy. 6’5” and 275, and yet I fit in this car VERY comfortably. I can easily reach the controls as well as the touch screen radio (with Apple and Android Carplay) without any hassle. With a volume knob and song skip buttons on the console as well as behind the steering wheel, which has been a big help. Now, the acceleration on it isn’t the best. This ain’t a Mustang, GTO, or Corvette, but it will still get you where you need to go. With a top speed of 160mph, you can zoom anywhere across the country with up to 465 miles in your tank before having to refill. Would I use it race? Not without tuneups, but for those quick little burst of speed you need to pass someone on the highway, it’ll do phenomenal and even surprised me my first time driving it. For the parents out there looking to get this car for a teenager, it has a teenager mode! This allows you to program certain keys to only allow for certain actions in the car. Don’t want your kid going over 80mph? Done. Don’t want the volume going up over a certain level? It’ll do it. I really love this feature, not even for teens, but if someone is driving my car, I don’t want them going crazy with the speed or messing up my sound system. All in all, I do give this car a 4.5 out of 5. The interior is spacious enough for 4-5 people, the heated seats, and the easy to use radio are all perks. It also offers a great field of view from the front, sides, and back. And with a rear backup camera? You’ll be sure to make sure your back in parking is perfect everytime! Now, I can’t deny the bad as well. The car is short to the ground, which I personally don’t like, especially because of the hilly terrain down in West Virginia. The small gas tank, and all of the engine issues people seem to be having with it. It honestly makes me nervous because I LOVE this car. However, if you’re in the market for a sedan that’ll get you from point A to point B in style and grace, this is the one for you!

Bought my Cruze LT used at a Honda dealer with 11,800 miles on it. The price is what drew me in as it was under $13000 before the dreaded haggle process. I love the car, it's whisper quiet, has good pick up for a small 4 cylinder engine and I average 38 miles a gallon driving highway and city. The car came with heated seats, and the upgraded auto start keyless features. I am very impressed with the 7" information center as it links my phone apps to the screen. Maps, music, phone contacts and text are all hands free and work like a champ. The cars new sharper lines mimic the new civic and it really makes the car stand out. Many Cruze owners with older models stop and ask me about my experience in the new style. I formerly had a Kia Soul, loved it and it was very reliable, but the Cruze is my new favorite. Trunk space and passenger room is exceptional as well. Highly recommend checking it out.

I’ve read all the other reviews, and the most common complaint is the engine stop feature it uses to conserve fuel. The most accurate comment was that it turns back on BEFORE your foot moves from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal... so unless you're purposely jack-rabbitting (wasteful!), you won’t be bothered by it. No “shuddering” or jerking with mine. I do agree with other review suggesting a 3 second delay after full stop, but Chevy no longer manufactures the Cruze so that is moot. Also, READ THE MANUAL... the system will NOT engage if the A/C is on in the non-economy mode- problem solved if you hate it so much. I’m a “techie” type person, so I love all the features and instrumentation... although some of the knobs seem cheaply made, and I so wish the climate control system was zoned driver/passenger and could be set to a given temperature. I drive in the mountains, and this car is powered just fine. Also lots of highway/local mix and consistently >42mpg. The only thing that is “wrong” thus far is that (clean/clear) rainwater accumulates in the spare tire well when the car sits unused... probably a gasket seal issue with rear windshield or trunk compartment. Will get this fixed under warranty when I can leave with dealer for a few days, then update here. 2 yrs, 10mos and 34k miles. No problems, runs great.

I purchased a 2017 gen 2 Cruze with 13,000 miles on it. I commute to work and put on 100 miles a day. With 66,000 miles on the car, the engine light came on and there was a loss of power. The dealer says cylinder 4 had a misfire. Upon further testing, the piston was cracked. If you buy a Cruze, get an extended warranty!!!

Leased a brand new 2017 Cruze to be used as a second car. We have had it now for 2 and 1/2 years and have less than 8000 miles on it. Suddenly the check engine light came on and it started to idle roughly. I took it to the Chevy dealer and was told that the motor needed new pistons. Thankfully it is still under warranty so we can drive it for the 6 months remaining on the lease and then give them back their piece of junk.

Avis at OC John Wayne airport stuck me with a Chevy Cruze on my last trip to SoCalif in May 2017. Bummer. I had fun to drive VW Jetta the last time. The accelerator pedal on the Cruze felt like I was modulating a bungee cord with virtually no acceleration unless I floored it. The brakes were a little grabby but OK. There's nothing special about this car, not especially fun to drive, not very nimble but acceptable. The auto Stop/Start was a royal pain. The only way I could disable it (sometimes) was if I left the air conditioner ON. Apparently the engine needs to be running in order to power the air conditioner - but that only worked sometimes. I thought I would get better throttle response by shifting the transmission out of Drive and into the next lower setting. If I did that while stopped the engine would just rev up to redline and wouldn't shift as I sped up. If I was already in motion then manually down shifted, it would sometimes stay in the lower setting with better throttle response and not rev up so high. It would 'shift'. Weird. I say 'shift' because I'm not sure if this is a real transmission or a CVT. In any case, it was annoying! The VW Jetta is also an inexpensive sedan and I found it be a far better car all around, much more spirited, and no silly quirks like the Chevy Cruze. I ask Avis if I can get the Jetta again on my next trip. I'll try to avoid the Cruze.

The car has the auto start/stop when you stop the car its annoying turns the a/c or heat off at lights and theres no way to turn the system off. To get auto climate control in the car you need the top trim level which comes with leather and sunroof and larger wheels all which are unneeded things. Cars that cost half as much brand new come with auto climate control.

There are several reasons I chose the Cruze to replace my 2014 Hyundai Elantra Limited. The first is price, I couldn't get a better price for a Honda or another Hyundai. I couldn't even come close. The second it the engine, the turbocharged 4 in the Cruze was better than all of the other cars I test drove except the Honda Accord 4 cylinder. The Cruze was also the lowest priced car I could find with Apple's Car Play. If Chevrolet really wants to compete with the Asian imports it had better upgrade its interior finish choices. As it sits right now the chosen pieces look and feel cheap. Update 4/10/18 - My original review of the car still stands. Good car for the lease price I got, but not worth a penny more.

I bought a 2017 Chevy Cruze LS brand new in February 2017. It has plenty of leg room and comfortable seating for children in the back. Yes, children, not so much for adults. Great trunk space. The LS models do not come with Cruise control, kind of a bummer but we dealt with it. I absolutely HATED the auto stop. Every so often when you are stopped, the car stalls out and you have to shift it up to park and cold start it again. There are a ton of complaints about this happening, but yet GM has done nothing. Gas mileage was fantastic. The entertainment system is basic, as our LS model did not come with XMSirius but did have a lot of connectivity with blue tooth and USB. The automatic transmission is not smooth shifting and takes longer than usual to shift up and even longer to downshift. Sometimes I wondered if it was even going to shift at all. There was nothing mechanically wrong with the Cruze when I took it into the dealer for the stalling out and slow shifting transmission. It's just the way it's built. I do not reccomend this vehicle for mainly in town driving with a lot of stop and go. It is a better vehicle on the highway due to the auto stop feature. After 2 and half years and only putting 22,600 miles on it, I traded my 2017 Cruze LS in for a 2019 Chevy Trax LT FWD.. I love love love the Trax. No Auto stop, smooth shifting transmission without the lag and hesitation, I have Cruise control once again, bigger touch screen, XM radio, all kinds of plugs and outlets, and it holds on to the road so much better than the Cruze. It also has the same MSRP as the Cruze did. Before you buy a 2017 Cruze used, look at a Trax. Your cargo/trunk space is bigger in the Cruze, but the drive is so much better in a Trax.

I bought my 2017 Cruze LS new. My prior 1987 Porsche 924S was totaled in a truck accident, so I replaced it with a similar themed red manual transmission Cruze. Now at 72K miles in just under four years. Overall, it's been fun to drive (manual), looks great with red color and black accents, and has been very dependable. I've completed all maintenance items according to schedule, including periodic coolant and brake flushes, and manual trans fluid at 45K. Replaced front brake pads at 68K miles (still at 25% pad left). Tires at 46K miles. Only problem was a faulty clutch assembly replaced just before the warranty expired at 35.8K miles. Good thing, as it would have been a very expensive repair but Chevy covered it. Just put new spark plugs in at 72K miles and noticed an improvement in acceleration and the feel of the engine. I have the LS model with steel wheels, so my only regret is not having alloy wheels, cruise control, and a sunroof. I can link my phone either by USB or Bluetooth, and playing music from my phone gives a significant improvement in sound quality over using the standard radio. Although its OK sound overall, nothing superior. Cloth seats are comfortable, but do not have the class of leather (another regret). Lots of plastic in the interior but that's to be expected at this price point. One complaint is lack of acceleration in 1st/2nd gears...it's poor and I'm routinely dusted off at traffic stops by other compact cars. Turbo kicks in during 3rd gear and then the car takes off. Probably my biggest complaint was at the dealership where I bought it. Purchased from Princeton Chevy but then the dealership was sold very soon after to Ciocca Chevy. Nothing but poor customer service from Ciocca, also incorrect billing, extra charges, and incorrect information on parts ordering. I don't trust them, and now I'm in a different area and with a different Chevy dealer for maintenance and I still don't trust them. Every encounter seems to be about them extracting as much money from me as possible. Overall, I like the car, it's been inexpensive and dependable, and fun to drive. Not happy about the lack of acceleration and the plastic/cloth interior. Outside look is like most similar compact cars, but it does have a sportier edge with the front/rear styling and hot red color. I'm happy with the purchase and I think it is the best choice in it's class. But I still look forward to the future and moving back into a higher price point for some of the finer appointments and especially better acceleration.

Long story short- this car was bought out of necessity and lasted me 210,000 miles with absolutely no issues. City miles, highway miles, daily driving, this car handled it all. I had a Jeep Liberty before this that I had bought off of my grandma with almost no miles on it and I adored that car. I drove that thing all over the country and had no issues until I took it into a small repair shop for what should have been a routine repair and then after that I had issue after issue. It finally got to the point that I was visiting my dad and knew that if I didn’t get a new car that day, I wouldn’t be making it back to Kansas City in the jeep without major issues. He had a friend who ran a dealership who gave me more value for the trade in than he should have so we went there. I just needed any sedan that was reliable, and had good enough mileage as I was driving a lot at the time. I didn’t have time to do research. Basically ended up thrust into this 2017 Chevy Cruze basic package. It had what I needed and the price was friendly so I took it. I’m happy I did. For 8 years I have driven this thing all over with absolutely no issues. It has had no major engine issues. I have only had to do regular oil changes and transmission flushes at any local Valvoline and it’s been absolutely fine. It’s up over 200,000 miles on it and those are hard fought miles. It’s been in the city, up and down highways, in towns. This car has been driven daily for years. It is just now finally showing signs of its age. I really didn’t know what to expect with it. But I’m pleasantly surprised with how well it worked out for me.

When purchasing or leasing a Cruze. Do all your research first , make sure that you can do all your negotiating over the phone and talk to family or friends that own one. First so you can get the feel of the vehicle. I had just leased my new Cruze and i love it very much it is a great car if you are in collage or just want something that will get you to a to b. Other than that Chevy did a great job on the design and it is a great first car.

So after I shop around Chevrolet Cruze was the one Love this vehicle is giving me everything the I can ask on a car love it great Int and Ext also drive like a Sedan only complaint I have is the Auto Engine Stop feature. But other than that no complaints. And all reviews from Cruze since 2012 are great no major issues so I recommend this vehicle. Is my new baby for long terms.

After searching countless dealerships and driving countless cars I was so relieved when I found my little Cruze. Not only is it affordable it is a slick ride. It's extremely comfortable and oh so quite, sometimes I have check to see if it's even running. It has plenty of get up and go, and the ride is surprisingly smooth for a compact sedan. I have a 16 Elantra as well and the Cruze is far superior to it technology, interior appearance, and rude quality wise. If you're looking for a nice small car, the Cruze is the one.
