awesome car!

First time car buyer and Jonny Dallas made it a wonderful experience. He insured i loved the car before i bought by explaining all the details to me! the manager made sure the payments are where i need them to be. My parents are hoping to be going back to buy a car for themselves!

Great value!

I purchased this car to take the place of a GMC SUV. I was looking for something a little more ECO friendly, and still stylish. The Chevy Cruze has met or exceeded all of my expectations! Great gas mileage-even in the city, has some pep for a 4 cylinder and is comfortable-even for a guy whose 6'2''. It's a sporty little car that drives extremely well for a compact car...I really enjoy it!

Fair Deal Vehicle

Ive had my used 2013 Chevy Cruze for going on a year now. I bout this vehicle at 53000 miles roughly. Ive since put 10000 on it. Still runs fine for the most part. Every now and then though it sputters and jerks on me and is not giving anyengine codes. This is my only negative comment. As someone mechanically inclined, ive looked into alot of posibilities only to find out they are clear. Puzzled on this one. Overall i do say i love the car. Economical, fun, can get a little sportier once in 3rd gear and that turbo kicks in. Haha. Im sure with some aftermarket tuning it will be a nice sporty car as well.

Miserable

Even though the car is smooth driving, I am about to go crazy because every time I drive it, the brake alarm comes on and continues till I stop driving. I had the brakes checked. They are fine. I am so sick of this alarm coming on. The people at Chevrolet claim they fixed it. I got in the car to drive it and it was worse than before they fixed it. I asked to have it disconnected, and they refused. It is horrible driving listening to this "ding, ding, ding" everywhere I go.

2013 Chevy Cruze LT

I have had my 2013 Chevy Cruze LT about two years now. I love it! It gets great gas mileage and is comfortable for the size. I couldn't believe how much trunk space I get. I can fit 5 bowling xxxxx with bags and still have room. My boyfriend is 6'2" so he has issues getting in and out of the car, but when he is seated he says he is comfortable just a little bit of a hassle. Otherwise, I am 5'8" and am completely comfortable! I haven't had to bring it into the shop for anything other then an oil change!

astonishing little car

One of the best cars I've driven to date and would recommend this car to anyone with kids. It held up to an accident at 65 with minimal damage

NICE CAR EXCEPT FOR...

I've had no major issues with my 2013 Cruze LTZ. However there are a few things I would have changed. 1. The drivers right knee contacts the TEMP knob and the passengers left knee contacts the FAN SPEED knob. I'm an average 6 feet tall guy so they usually design vehicles to people my size. So as you drive your knee is changing the temperature and if you have a passenger, you are adjusting both temp and fan speed as you drive. It really is a pain. 2. The touch screen does not come on in cold temperatures (in the 20's or below). If the screen does not come on, you have no radio, no back up camera view and no way to tell what your climate settings are. 3. Traction control is useless. I do much better driving with it off in snowy or icy conditions. 4. Has heated leather seats only. Which is nice in the winter. However, cooling seats need to be an option especially for black leather seats in the summer. Other than that, it is a good, dependable vehicle.
