Good!! But not without faults – We wanted a good car and we looked at a few and came across this Cruze. There were various models and colours but they had 1 black one that had been lowered with wide tyres and mags. It look a treat and the wife wanted it. Now for the rundown? 1st week some [censored word removed] opened their door and put a scratch and small dent on our door. Peed off too say the least. Anyways its a good car that I was able to get 750klms out of a tank on a highway drive into the country with aircon on. Half the way was flat the other half had hills. Around town about 650klm. Don't believe the fuel consumption ratings on the windscreen as you will never achieve it. Going country was comfortable and noise free. It's a quiet car and you can hardly hear the engine. It handles very well and holds the road very well. Poor vision to the right due to the large pillar that holds the airbag but this might depend on your seating position. Power is ok but then it is a 1.4L?? The turbo helps but forget trying to put your foot down with the aircon on as it's sluggish. Does not like the hills too much either. Other than that it does deliver good power through 3 to 5th gear 60 - 90klm. I love the gearbox as it's very smooth. Lights and switches are ok. The Stereo just sucks big time. You just can't get it loud enough to enjoy a good rock song and it's like a rubik's cube trying to figure the stupid thing out. Dash is laid out good but switches are cheap. Cruise control is ok but beware you increase speed going down hill even with it on. Front seats are adequate but the rear are just rubbish. A wooden bench would have been better in the back. Why did they put the USB port in a console? Why not in the dash next to the radio? No electric seats for adjustment and the handle is on the left hand side under the seat so its hard to adjust before you get it. Well overall its a ok car but it's made to a price and it shows. Fuel Efficient. Handles well. Looks. Good boot space. Airconditioner. Stereo. No light on ignition. Rear seats. No Power with aircon on.
