Chevrolet Cruze LT 4dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

So I’m an avid Japanese car buyer let it be known. I drive a 8th gen civic coupe with a host of problems but it refuses to quit. We leased a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze LT hatchback because, 1. I come from a Chevrolet family, 2. Chevy upped their game in the style department (exterior not interior) and 3. I had to prove a point knowing damn well it’d fail me early to show my parents Chevy isn’t what they believe it is. Sounds worse than it is. For starters; As a commuter, the Cruze is quiet, efficient and stylish, that being said, the transmission is undefined, the interior is hard plastic as all Chevrolet products are, but it still somehow feels solid. Suspension is awful, hard bumps turn into body rattling earthquakes on dirt roads, thin tires look cool, but as you know offer zero traction help, and no absorption of road defects. Gas mileage was about 28 mpg combined. Radio was meh Sound system is what you’d expect as OEM. The problems; 1. 1100 miles into the lease, oil light came on, returned to Chevy, their world class mechanics forgot to remove old oil filter o-ring. I usually do my own maintenance but as a lease it’s free so let the pros do it, or are they pros? They reported no damage and fixed issue. 2. 2932 miles, engine sputtering, they diagnose as a dirty maf sensor. How? No answer, cleaned it and fixed. 3. 10,300 miles, head gasket failed. 10,300 miles?! My 8th gen civics head gasket is just going and it’s at 292,900 miles, it’s to be expected! But 10,300!!? Bye Chevy. Parents chalked it up to my driving habits. I don’t beat my cars, I simply get to speed faster than their turtle pacing. I meticulously maintain my cars as well, following book and my own experience so problems don’t arise. I traded it back in and am getting a 2012 Camry used, why? Toyota is always the leading consumer reports for a reason. Listen people, not all cars are perfect, maintenance goes a very long way, but problems always happen, they’re mechanical, expect the unexpected. It’ll be okay. Don’t buy Chevrolet Cruze with the turbo engine, Naturally Aspirated is the way too go. Way less problems. Also the 2017 Honda Civic hatchback with the 1.5 turbo engines also have a host of problems, turbo is not the answer, naturally aspirated non turbo is.
