  Perfect car for the Hwy - 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  By Bryce - November 24 - 10:54 pm

  Very quick acceleration at low speeds due to higher torque from the diesel engine. If your not careful you will peel out. This car goes right up steep hills without slowing down. I average 44-50 mpg. If you do alot of city driving wou will get 40-44mpg if you are mostly driving on the hwy you will get 48-52 depending on traffic. Requires Diesel exaust fluid— 2.5 gallons at walm____ runs 7$ and will get you around 2,500 miles.

  Stuck With A Lemon - 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  By Oliver - November 18 - 11:43 pm

  I bought a 2017 Chevy Cruze for my daughter who will be graduating from college soon. I took money out of my retirement fund because I wanted her to have a good, reliable car. The problems began almost immediately. There is a system that is supposed to save on gas use called auto-stop. It does one of 4 things when you apply the brake to stop the car. 1. The car stops and the engine idles like a normal car, when you put your foot on the gas pedal, the car starts moving forward. 2. The car stops and the engine turns off, when you put your foot on the gas pedal, the engine starts up and the car goes forward. 3. The car stops and the engine turns off, when you put your foot on the gas pedal, the car seems to pause for a moment, then the engine rattles a little and the engine comes back on and the car goes forward. 4. The car stops and the engine turns off, when you put your foot on the gas pedal, nothing happens and you have to shift the car in to park and manually restart the engine because it has completely turned off. I took the car in to the service manager and he test drove it and saw what it is doing. However, he told me that there is nothing that can be done to fix the problem because it is controlled by a computer component that can not be fixed or even accessed by any Chevy service department. The following day I called a different Chevy dealer service department and I was told the same thing. The problem can not be fixed. I can not afford to buy my daughter another car so she is stuck with a LEMON that can’t be fixed. I am considering talking to a lawyer to find out if I have any legal options at this point.

  Cruze good for cruising - 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  By Wil Chambers - November 9 - 5:47 am

  Good looking car from inside and out. Love the handsome exterior body lines and 18 inch wheels. interior has a great infotainment center. Front seat comfort is terrible needs lumbar support. Rides very quiet and smooth cruising around town. I hate the Auto start and stop feature sometimes a little rough when car starts back up. Overall im happy i purchased the Cruze and hope i have many miles of worry free maintenance!

  Fell short of the hype! - 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  By Debra Svitko - August 22 - 9:18 am

  The car sits very low to he ground and is very light weighted so I had to add sandbags to the trunk for weight. You can’t wash the interior to keep it clean without it falling apart. Great in gas. Comfortable interior.

  Love this car - 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  By Mike - June 4 - 2:33 pm

  Admittedly, this is my first new car so I may be biased. I previously drove a manual 02 Golf. The standard backup camera is amazing (first time having one) and the screen is huge. I use Apple CarPlay regularly. I was a bit worried about the auto stop/start as it has been listed as a con of this car. Honestly, Ive never been in the situation that it does not start by the time my foot is on the gas. It starts so quickly that I dont even notice it; I would list this feature as a pro and not a con. Its a very smooth ride. Acceleration is decent but when the turbo kicks it feels pretty fast (compared to my golf). Not sure of fuel economy yet. I did see that at one point it listed 39 mpg as the best Ive gotten but I hear you need to let it break in before getting accurate readings. Love the cargo space (as does my dog) and I actually keep the seats down most of the time with a blanket in the back. I really love the interior; feels pretty luxurious for a car of this price but again, Im coming from an 02 Golf. The only con is that it feels a bit top heavy around turns compared to the Golf. I see that Chevy has a new suspension kit to make it a little bit stiffer; I might install that soon. Having a button for an ignition took some getting used to (convenience package) but now Im a fan.

  Still a Ways To Go to Catch the Asians! - 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  By Steve - December 27 - 3:08 pm

  There are several reasons I chose the Cruze to replace my 2014 Hyundai Elantra Limited. The first is price, I couldnt get a better price for a Honda or another Hyundai. I couldnt even come close. The second it the engine, the turbocharged 4 in the Cruze was better than all of the other cars I test drove except the Honda Accord 4 cylinder. The Cruze was also the lowest priced car I could find with Apples Car Play. If Chevrolet really wants to complete with the Asian imports it had better upgrade its interior finish choices. As it sits right now the chosen pieces look and feel cheap.

  Red Hot Cruzer! - 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  By Scotty B - October 21 - 10:55 pm

  Bought my Cruze LT used at a Honda dealer with 11,800 miles on it. The price is what drew me in as it was under $13000 before the dreaded haggle process. I love the car, its whisper quiet, has good pick up for a small 4 cylinder engine and I average 38 miles a gallon driving highway and city. The car came with heated seats, and the upgraded auto start keyless features. I am very impressed with the 7" information center as it links my phone apps to the screen. Maps, music, phone contacts and text are all hands free and work like a champ. The cars new sharper lines mimic the new civic and it really makes the car stand out. Many Cruze owners with older models stop and ask me about my experience in the new style. I formerly had a Kia Soul, loved it and it was very reliable, but the Cruze is my new favorite. Trunk space and passenger room is exceptional as well. Highly recommend checking it out.

  Great Surprise - 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  By Marty - August 29 - 1:26 pm

  Traded in a small SUV. This car is a wonderful surprise. The handling, transmission and motor provide a sports sedan feel in comparison. Great gas mileage and logical technology - the WiFi is useful. Interior and exterior are tight and attractive.

  Auto start/stop and no auto climate control - 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  By Christopher Kelly - March 3 - 6:07 pm

  The car has the auto start/stop when you stop the car its annoying turns the a/c or heat off at lights and theres no way to turn the system off. To get auto climate control in the car you need the top trim level which comes with leather and sunroof and larger wheels all which are unneeded things. Cars that cost half as much brand new come with auto climate control.
