Amazing Car!
First brand new car and I love it! The car is such an amazing mix of functionality and style. Anyone looking for a car that runs great in the winter, is amazing on gas, a comfortable quiet ride, combined with amazing fuel economy and great styling? Look no further! The Chevy Cruze has all of these points and more. This car really is a steal, very surprised the value is not through the roof!

Reliability with Economy and Tight Handling
My first "New" car in years, I was not disappointed. There were no breakdowns or major issues in the first two years of ownership. I found it very tight and precise. It cornered very well - stuck to the road "like glue" when cornering a little faster than prudent.

Not what was expecting
Love the design inside and out. Fuel economy is horrible... ratings say 54 mpg on the highway, and 34 in the city. Have checked my fuel milage several times averaging 33mpg and 90% driving is highway! from home to school (75km one way) not impressed thats the main reason why i bought the car. Also not a lot of room for storage, can't fix 2 hockey bags in the trunk. Other then the fuel milage and room space a nice car, love the mylink, and being able to start your car from your phone!

Poor low speed drivability.
The poor rating I have given to this car is not due to deficient acceleration/performance at speed... on fact, I'm more than happy with that, and with the car's handling. What I can't stand is the poor drive-ability of this vehicle in stop and go, heavy traffic conditions.
It does not drive like an automatic... it behaves like a manual transmission being driven by a beginning driver. It is unpleasant in the extreme, and being that I live in the Toronto area, I spend a LOT of time in stop and go traffic.
It jerks, shudders, and lugs every time I engage and release the throttle - almost like a kick in the back from a mule if one does not feather the pedal. It is almost impossible to drive this car smoothly in heavy traffic.
Furthermore, it frequently hesitates badly on acceleration. It won't move until you put your foot down very far, then it suddenly goes like a jackrabbit which is most embarrassing.
Finally, at low speed, the heater draws in crankcase gases which, again, is most unpleasant. Complaints to the dealership were not taken seriously.
Believe me, if I could afford the $10000. loss, this sorry automobile would already be parked on a used car lot.
My last General Motors vehicle.

Excellent Initial Quality, But...
I bought the car new in 2011 and it has just over 40,000 km now. It's been recalled by GM three times so far, and a few other problems cause me to wonder about the car's long-term durability.
Persistent high-pitched squeeking in driveline, even when coasting with engine off/trans in neutral - not brakes, not stones in tires or wheels, not wheel bearings or CV joints - dealer could not replicate problem on three separate visits - ongoing concern.
Because the wheels sit so far outboard of the chassis, the fenders barely cover the tires, so my car has a high degree of paint chips on the dog legs aft of the rear doors. Sand and grit on winter streets were the culprits.
Three rear window defroster grid lines failed. Dealer tried repairing twice, but ended up replacing entire rear window (n/c - warranty).
HVAC controls became intermittent then stuck on defrost - actuator lever inside dash panel was detached - (dealer repaired n/c).
Trunk release button (exterior) failed. (dealer replaced n/c).
Other small problems but space does not permit.
Mine is a 1.8 L with the 6-speed manual trans. Best highway fuel economy was 5.4 l/100 km with a 70kmh tailwind. The 59-litre fuel tank gives you 900+ km of highway range. City range is about 600 km +-. Air conditioning kills fuel economy.
The car has only adequate acceleration, but very impressive handling especially over rough roads (better than my 2004 Mazda GT).
Stay away from models with the 1.4 litre turbo engine, unless you like spending extra $ for more frequent oil changes and, ultimately, very expensive turbo repairs down the road.
Be advised that the 1.8 litre engine has a rubber band for a timing belt, so it must be changed no later than recommended in the owner's manual.
Overall, I could recommend a 2011 Cruze LS if you are not planning on keeping it longer than its warranty.

My first new car from a US automaker
This is my 17th car, I've owned Honda's, Acura's, Toyota's, Mazda's, BMW, SAAB, etc. I always said I'd buy an American car if they built a great one, and this was it. Great ride, it's quiet, smooth, handles superbly, and sips fuel like a hybrid. I've had zero issues after 41k. Small turbo makes so much sense. There is some turbo lag between 1500-2000 rpm with the manual, but it's not bothersome. Drive one and you'll understand why it won so many car of the year awards.

Too many problems - many replacements
I have had nothing but problems with this car, unfortunately. I had to get a new bearing in the A/C fan with under 40,000km and a new water pump as well. There was a recall because of the oil dripping underneath which had potential to cause a fire, so the dealership cut a huge hole underneath exposing many parts to the road. Right now it shakes when the car is turned on and during the acceleration and deceleration, it is making a loud humming noise that has to get looked at. The A/C doesn't get very cold either. One other person I know has problems with their 2012 model as well. I'm currently over the 60,000km warranty and concerned about future problems.

Amazing car.
This car is perfect! Price is amazing for what you get. which is a powerful engine because of the turbo. Amazing fuel economy because of the 1.4l Turbocharged engine. Safety because of Ten STANDARD airbags. Performance is incredible its hugs corners like no tomorrow, its a little heavy then most in its class so it stay on the road. The styling inside and out has a major European design which is always a good thing. The technology included with the Mylink system is incredible its awesome being able to start your car with your phone.

My Chevy Cruze
I like my Cruz for its gas mileage and usability. It is not flashiest car nor does it have the most leg room you will ever find but for a good reliable commute car it rates well. I can fit both my young boys in the back comfortably but I can tell you know that you are not fitting four adults in there and not complaining about it. All and all its a good small vehicle.

Amazing car!
I have owned this car for under a year now and i still love it. It is very comfortable with carpet interiro and heated seats. The sound system i that i upgraded performs very well and the music is really clear. The car drives smooth, and the steering is very delicate. The brakes work immediatly and the car is farily small so it is easy to park. I do find myself having to go to the gas station quite often, but i do drive a lot as well. The gps is very useful, espceically with the option that allows me to press home and locate how to get home from hwerever i am. The exterior is an electric blue, with lights that are appealing to the eye. Overall, this car is safe and reliable.

Love It
We have had the Cruze for 18 months and absolutely love the car. Having owned many cars and trucks this is certainly among my all time favourite. The fuel economy is amazing and it is a sleek and sporty car. We haven't had any warranty issues and service is a breeze. I feel like a shill for GM but trust me my Silverado Pick-up is a dog so that isn't the case.
Lots of room inside the car but it is a little tricky getting in and out, I'm 6'1" 250 pounds so by no meand am I tiny.
Would highly recommend this car
