"I have only 500 miles on my Cruze LT during the four weeks I've owned it, but it seems like a great car. The option packages I got were related to my having a fused neck - back-up camera, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot alert. They have already come in handy in warning me when I back out of parking spots and change lanes. The right-side blind-spot warning has had a couple of "false positives" so far, so I will need to see if an adjustment is necessary. The trip computer said I was getting 35.5 mpg, but when I filled up for the first and only time, it was 33.8 mpg. Either way, much better than EPA's 30 mpg for mixed driving. I think it's quiet, has good power, and is well designed. I haven't tried the OnStar yet."

"I may not be able to drive yet, and though my mother does not like the car itself (she's a SUV fanatic), I love this car. Its only a rental for a couple of days, but I love every bit of it. One thing that I don't like about it are the seats. I drove around in a 2012 cruze and I can definitely tell the difference in comfort. I love the radio, though it can be a little confusing at times and Xm radio interrupts when crossing under bridges and in some tree covered areas. I love how its small, but there is a good amount of cabin space. This is definitely a car I would want to recieve as a graduation present, and I'm hoping that I am able to."

"I love the Cruze. It is beautiful with a great ride and very little road noise. Even the back seat is comfortable and of course, the fuel mileage is an additional bonus!!!! In addition, there is a ton of space in the trunk!"

"Having driven an early 90's Jeep for about 10 years prior, the Cruze was a big change for me, but a welcome one. I have had my Cruze for about 2 months / 2,000 miles, and there's no "buyer's remorse" anywhere in sight :) Even with the base 6-speed automatic model, I love the handling, the controls, and the substantial feel. Both the exterior and interior styling are appealing, and the space is adequate, even for a big & tall guy like me. The gas mileage is also competitive; with a healthy mix of highway and city driving I'm averaging 30mpg. On a side note, I find it funny that many professional reviewers consider the Cruze's looks to be "forgettable" or "nothing special". One of the many reasons I selected the Cruze was because of its bold, angular front-end styling which sets it apart visually from so many of the other competitors in the segment."

"2300 miles on my 2013 Cruze Eco Manual so far. Great car. Most of my driving is in town. I fill up every 100 miles at the same gas pump. Best fill-up was last week with 44 MPG (temps in the 60s and 70s). Worst was 34 in February with temps in the teens and 20s. Again, this is around town! The car MPG computer has been very accurate. Average overall has been 39. On a recent road trip of 140 miles going 65 mph, it got 45 MPG on a cold and windy day! Oh yeah -- I had to take it back to the dealer last month when the cruise control stopped working... computer glitch. Quick fix and covered under warranty. No big deal. My only gripe - the base Eco has no cup holders in the rear seat! The bucket seats are very comfortable. The back seats are a little stiff, though. Nice trunk space. The cars handles well and is very quiet."

"I love the cruze styling both interior and exterior. Comfortable ride and even with the 1.8 seems to have plenty of power especially compared to other older cars. seems to have high build quality with the soft touch interior materials and the tightness of everything. headlights are good as well as the handling. plus the 10 airbags are sure to keep you safe in a accident. telescoping steering wheel is awesome. im 6 foot 2 and have no issues fitting. seats in back are a little tight but that's it. so far i love my cruze its everything i wanted in a new car"

"I love this car. I have gotten so many compliments on it from total strangers. I got the base model and it has so many new and great features. Bluetooth is standard and it also has a USB port and an auxiliary input. Pretty snazzy. It has plenty of power. The new Cruze also comes with 6 months of OnStar and XM radio. I had OnStar on my last GM car and loved it. I know I will keep it after the initial trial period. Not sure about the XM radio (which is pretty cool), but I mostly listen to audio books which come right thru the speakers with the aux input."
