Good car overall

By Bills written on 12-14-2017

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.

At first I loved it, until the problems started

I got this car brand new in January 2014 and I still have it now but am getting rid of it. It only has 24,000 miles on it and it's January of 2018. I loved this car in the beginning it was zippy and fun to drive. First my car warned me about having a cracked axle. Took it to dealer and they fixed the recall. The batter was very weak and car had no power so I checked the battery and it was way too small for car. One day on a rainy day my window wouldn't roll up, but they fixed it. Then my car was burning gas at about 4 times the normal rate. I mean really fast then while driving my car completely stopped cars were coming at me and I was scared not knowing what was going on. It was weird it had gas, it didn't start, the battery was fine, seemed like nothing, had it towed home, then to Chevy the next day and they said "contaminated gas" well according to my fuel burning and I park in the garage it was not contaminated it was a faulty fuel pump. They replaced it but was going to charge me over 1000.00 since I was 2 weeks past my 3 year warranty. Made some calls and luckily they did it for free. One day I noticed I had a huge bubble on the side wall of my tire so I took the car in to get a new tire and he told me the 2 front tires look super old and had been sitting in the sun for a very long time. He showed me the whole side wall was cracked all the way around the outside of the tire and said he was surprised they lasted this long. So I replaced them the back two were good. Then I got a letter saying the steering might lock up while driving and I will lose control, thank God it didn't happen. All in all I loved this car but all these breakdowns make me feel very unsafe in it. It's too much hassle a new car should come new and working. I won't buy this again

Fell out of love

Real problems with emission controls and related DEF issues. Less than 38500 miles and have had 10 service events relating to these issues. Last three were out of warranty and cost me around $1500. Oil changes and DEF top offs run between $90 -100.
