Not bad, but a few engine-related troubles

I love the exterior, wish that it was more user friendly technology-wise. Decent mileage, a lot of issues with the engine though. Currently, my car is actually jerking when I turn it on, so I'm pretty concerned. Not good in Maine snow!

I am very satisfied with my car, very reliable!

The 2013 Chevy Cruze is a very reliable and comfortable car. I would recommend it to any one, the main thing I love about this is low maintenance and very easy on gas!

Most reliable car I've owned

Have zero complaints about this vehicle. Rides nice, great on gas, stylish body type, parts are fairly cheap to replace, and there are chevy dealers everywhere.

Very smooth ride

This car is an amazingly smooth ride. It is a manual transmission and shifts smoother than any car I've ever driven. The car had several bells and whistles that add to the fun and comfort of the car. Good value for the car. We enjoyed driving it so much, we bought it.

Test drive

The Cruze I test drove had plenty of power for a small car. An affordable 2013 with plenty of features that make your money go further. The two tone leather seats really stand out.

A Good Value To Consider

Though I had it in the shop two times within the first 10 days I owned it (one time was a bad sensor, the other was a factory warranty issue), it has been a very serviceable vehicle. The front seat comfort is outstanding. A couple of the controls took some getting used to. The lock/unlock button is on the center console and the control to adjust the fan speed is on the right of the console which is the opposite to every car I have previously owned. Unless you get higher into the rev range, there is not much pickup. (My Cruze is a six speed manual.) It is a very nice looking car and it gets great gas mileage, getting 34-35 mpg so far. If you are looking for at a Civic or a Corolla, look at a Cruze as well.

Chevy Cuz'in

C'mon and take a ride in my rambler... ( Ok, I just like to talk, haha) I love my Cruz. It has been reliable and has great gas mileage. It's got enough 'pick up' for me... It's not a super fast car but I wasn't looking for that. It goes the speed limit and if I am not careful or using the 'Cruz :) Control' I will find myself going a lil faster than I intended. I have the oil changed on the regular ( dad is an ex mechanic) as dad preached..." that's what will keep your car running for years to come... " , it's without question the best car advice he gave me. It's 5 years since my purchase and I have to say... still runs like a brand new car and with the gas prices going up AGAIN here in the summer coming in 2018.... I'll take my "paying less than you at the pump Cruz" and head on over to Starbucks for that Frap with my change. Love love love my Chevy Cruz! And you can take that to the bank! "Oh yeah, I did!" You should too. ;)
