Good highway performance maintains speed with little effort. Feels solid I love the appearance was going to buy Ford Escape and tool Cruz for test drive and I thought this is car for me. Three reason style ride and performance between 40 and 42 miles per gallon on highway.

This car is a great buy. I admit I was skeptical about buying it, since the reputation wasn’t great on early 2000 year models. Mine has acceptable acceleration, good comfortable seats, plenty of legroom for back seat riders, and awesome cargo capacity with the back seats folded. I just packed a 55” TV, 2 Xbox systems, 2 sound bar systems, and other items with room for more. All electronic systems work great. The LT with the driver’s convenience pkg is the perfect mid-grade deal. I’m enjoying this vehicle. No regrets. For the people who complain about acceleration, what are they doing, pulling a trailer or something? It’s an economy car, not a sports car!

I was in the market for a vehicle for about two months. I didn’t even think about purchasing the 2018 Chevy Cruze Premier Hatchback. I test drove the Cruze, my current vehicle now and a Mercedes C 2012. Of course technology was a huge different between the two with age, but the Cruze not only drive stellar, it had all the bells and whistles I wanted. I got Apple CarPlay, heated front seats, automatic car start, built in WiFi, heated steering wheel was a plus, and satellite radio. It’s great on gas and again, it drives stellar. If you are in the market for something with all the technology you want and need, this is your vehicle.
Not impressed so far..........

Have had my Cruze LT hatch for 29 days today and, so far, am not impressed. This vehicle replaced a 09 Cobalt Sedan, with a manual, that was the best vehicle I had ever owned. The "Android Auto" feature is constantly "offline" and this is supposed to be 1 of the biggest perks of this vehicle. It is hard to get in and out of and I have yet, after 29 days of ownership, found a comfortable seating position. The "start/stop" feature, which I was aware of, is already annoying as well. So far my best mpg figures have been 27.4, far from what I expected. Maybe I expected too much after 8 great years with the Cobalt. There may be a Ford Ecosport in my immediate future... *Update...have now owned the car for over 18 months, completed an extended trip (750 miles), and now have a new opinion of the car. I was very impressed during the trip as the car averaged 35 mpg and had ample cargo room. Power, acceleration, have never been a problem and contributed to a nice trip. I have now gotten used to the "start/stop" function (still would rather not have it) and the Android Auto still doesn't work as it is supposed to. My GPS and Ipod help deal with that issue. I plan to keep the car now for a few years. If Chevy still made it i would recommend the hatchback for its performance and cargo capability.

So I’ve had the car for a week. Only reason why I am giving the car a 4 out 5 is simply because after a week I had to take it in due to a check engine light and unable to read the code. For a turbo diesel I was expecting more of a get up and go and it does however the horsepower for the engine was lacking. Still an awesome car. The fuel economy on this thing is amazing! It’s not the millennium falcon but it will do!

I'm 6'4" and find this little car more accomodating than my other car, which is a much larger SUV. I am getting about 32 MPG in stop and go driving back and forth to work, and I love the handling on curvy roads. The car is actually pretty good looking also (It has th RS package which makes it look sporty.)

Pros: Purchased a 2018 Lt Hatchback Brand New in 2018 and it now has 33,000 miles. Commuting through New York City daily for work it gets an average of 33-35 Miles a gallon and about 45-48 MPG on longer drives. Its quite comfortable with leg room to spare in both the front and rear seats. Im 61 and and another average size adult can comfortable sit behind me. Apple care works very well, the Back up camera is very clear and the trunk space is useful. Ive carried everything from groceries to Potting soil without any issues. The cons however out weigh the pros. Cons: It does not hold any value. Within a year of owning the vehicle i notices that used ones with the same mileage were worth practically nothing. The transmission is not as responsive as it should be. IT sometimes shifts too fast and sometimes revs at very high RPMS. Knock Sensor codes are constantly popping up with the use of regular gas. Traction control system issues Sways over small bumps Clonking noises over rough roads (Chevy Mechanics cant find the issue) Transmission Jerks going into reverse. The audio system is absolute garbage. Speakers fumble a lot. The engine vibrates a lot. Looses traction easily in wet/ damp conditions Auto stop continues to enable itself at 3-5 Miles while in traffic cause the entire car to jerk.

We like the car but had to search to fix two things. The screen won't dim at night. We discovered you have to put it in reverse first (whether your want to or not), then the screen will dim. We skip auto shut off by driving in L6 mode.

Purchased mid-2019 at 30% off MSRP and traded 2012 Cruze LT RS 1.4T sedan. Pros include ride, steering, handling, hill-climbing, infotainment, and feature set. Cons include thin sheet metal, molded plastic part corners that break off (taillights), placid engine/transmission response, fuel economy. Its not the perfect package of the 2012 Cruze RS but may still prevail considering features, reliability, and cost. 2020/10/17 update: working well & happy
