Used 2014 Chevrolet Cruze for Sale in Bridgeport, CT

Chevy electronics. Easy to pair phone to car. Infuriating trip computer that has never been close on mpg, distance to empty, gallons used. On star is good but I feel too expensive so I dropped it. Interior nice but leather seats are FIRM. Average around 32 mpg day to day use, have never come near 38 mpg rating. At 42000 miles transmission is getting dimwitted on shifts ( just want a slight speed increase, push on throttle, nothing, push, nothing, push then it's a 2 gear kickdown). Dealer says car showing no codes when I had checked. Rear seat room is good for small kids or SMALL adults. Real nightmare is sunroof failed in tilt open position. Will update when I find out what is wrong and how much financial pain it will cost. I dont think I will consider another GM vehicle if this sunroof problem turns into a financial black hole. Plus side tire wear is great, still have near 50% of original tread, premium Pioneer sound system is great. Update..cost 116.00 but dealer found crud jamming sunroof motor and cleaned it out. No longer park near trees with roof tilt open. This is NOT a performance car. RS package is dress up and nothing more. Trade value plummeted with new style release.

I got this car in November 2016 with 56k on it. Fast forward to December 2017, it now has 79k on it. I?ve spent a lot of time with this car. Overall I do like the car but their are some things I don?t like. The drivers seat has a power slide feature but No power recline. I thought that was odd considering it?s an LTZ model (they have rectified this for the newer models). The fake leather doesn?t wear well. The drivers seat has some noticeable wear on it and it?s starting to develop small cracks but nothing major thankfully. I just have to be careful getting in and out of the seat. My bosses 2012 VW Jetta has 90k miles on it and the Fake leather in his car looks flawless still. Their are some cheap bits in the interior but it?s not too bad. Really the one thing that bothers me is the gearshift. It looks and feels cheap to me but I?m probably just too nitpicky. I really like the way the interior is laid out though. Everything is where you would expect it to be (Except for the power lock controls since this is a 2014 Cruze. They are in the center but were moved to the door in 2015) I like how the radio has actual volume and tuning knobs because a lot of cars are going away with that. I?m surprised that it doesn?t have dual zone climate control since this is the top of the line LTZ model. Even to this day, you can?t get this on any Cruze. Other cars in the class have this so it would be nice if the Cruze had it also. Mylink is pretty easy to use and straight to the point and once you pair your phone through Bluetooth, it?ll automatically connect in the future once you get in and get the car going. The back up camera is nice too but since it?s a 2014, it doesn?t have the trajectory lines on the screen. That issue was resolved in the 2015 models. It doesn?t bother me really. I?m used to it now. The backseat legroom isn?t as good as its competitors. It?s tolerable if the front seats aren?t pushed all the way back but if they are, legroom is nonexistent. The car actually drives really smooth. A lot smoother than I expected. It surprised me honestly. When you try to take off from a stop in the car, it?s almost like their is a delay by 2 to 3 seconds which means making left turns can be a challenge sometimes. My grandparents have a 2015 2lt with the same engine and theirs drives like this too. Once the car gets into the higher rpms, the speed is adequate. As far as reliability goes, it?s been pretty reliable for the most part. The only thing I?ve had to have done/replaced was an ignition coil and a battery both at the same time around 72k. I have a 5 year 100k powertrain Waranty and I thought it would have replaced the ignition coil for free at least but it didn?t. Replacing both of these items at the dealership was $527 with parts and labor. Oh well. Other than that, it?s been pretty reliable. No complaints there. And since it?s an LTZ, it has smart key access which is pretty useful. I don?t have to take the key out of my pocket for anything even when going to the trunk which it great. When I get out of the car and close the door, 8 seconds later, the car locks automatically. Overall, I give this car a 4 out of 5 stars because it meets my expectations for the most part. All of the gripes mentioned above about this car, I remind myself that no car is perfect and the end of the day, it?s still an Economy car and their is no escaping that which is completely understandable and I?m okay with it. Would I recommend this car to anybody? Yes. However I will say that if you are looking for a car with a lot of room, you might want to look elsewhere.
