I am leasing this vehichle and it states gas mileage that isn't correct for all states. Apparently in an E-85 gas the fuel ecomonmy is terrible so thinking It was a smart buy because my car was only getting 16mpg ...Now this only gets about 17mpg combined city and highway not even close to 26 combined. On top of that something is going on with it, it jumps into gear sometimes and when using cruise it's not a smooth transition when using the button to accel

I just purchased this car 2 weeks ago. I purchased it because i believed the gas was great. Well, it's not! i am only getting about 16 or 17 mpg and the tank is not a 18.8 gal. I filled it up and it was only 14.8 gal, which means that the tank size is probably only about 15 or 16. What a hugh lie. I am so upset right now. This was one of my hugh reasons for purchasing it. Please Chevy stop with the lies. It's not a good look. I should have purchased the Crv or sorento. I will be traveling next week and the bill is going to kill me. What a mess of lies.

A Practical Car

Although this is a "small" SUV, it has large capacity for passengers and cargo. Even the back seats are comfortable. All this comes with surprisingly high MPG.

Four wheel tow

Bought to tow behind our motorhome. Was used, but with only 19k miles in 6 years. Came all set up, so we bought it and headed out. Not a speed demon in economy mode, due to tranny shift changes. Best to leave in standard mode. The trailing arms started squeaking at slow speeds...$700 at dealer. Overpriced IMO. 4/23 update. Since moving to southern Idaho our driving has been reduced to about 500 miles per month. No recent issues, using 85 gas w/o issues.
