Cheaply made

It is a compact car, so if need space this is not the car. Perfect for single person. It is great on gas so makes a good commuter car. Have had mechanical issues that shoulnt have gone wrong for year and miles.

Don't Do It!!!

I currently have a 2013 Chevy Cruze and I wish I could throw the whole car away. Nothing but a headache. Thank God they recalled this model.

Love this vehicle

I?ve been a Chevy guy for a long time. The brand has always done well by me so I was excited to move up into my first ?new? car. I love this thing. It treats me so well. The features are great and the reliability of the vehicle is even better. Would recommend 10/10 times.

More than I expected

This vehicle met all my needs. It has plenty of leg room in the front and back. The ride was great compared to the other cars I tested. It has Bluetooth, USB, iPod/iPhone input, MP3 playback, AUX audio input, CD player, satellite radio ready, Internet Radio apps such as Pandora and Stitcher, touch screen display and voice operated. It has Infotainment system MyLink, it is Onstar ready so I can keep using my Onstar account. It has 2 12volt power outlets which comes in very convenient if you're like me and use multi electronic devices. The interior was nice and clean, there was no rips or stains very well taken care of. There were no leaks or drips of any kind. It has a working multi-function remote the keyless entry, trunk release, and panic button all worked. I was pleasantly surprised by the quickness of the car and it handled perfectly, very smooth ride. I really didn't expect for this car to have the power it did. It was a fun test drive. Honestly my only dislike of the car was the manual seat adjustments. I guess I've gotten use to having power seats. I am most definitely going to keep this vehicle in my top selection of cars that I'm looking to buy.

Great starter/work/school car

If you?re looking for a reliable vehicle that gets great gas mileage, then the Cruze is it. If you?re looking for a vehicle that?s stylish and has impressive performance, then you need to be looking somewhere else. I use this vehicle for college/work, and it?s perfect for that, because it gets great gas mileage and with the technology package has a pretty impressive infotainment system. However, now I?m about to graduate and I?m looking for a different vehicle because I want something with more power. That little four-cylinder (even with the turbo) just doesn?t have enough power in my opinion .

2013 Chevy Cruze 2LT w/ RS Package

Ours was a beautiful looking car. RS package definitely worth the money. Overall loved the styling and the looks of it. Wish it had more power. Repetitive issue with the intake gasket leaking. According to our mechanic the Cruze is known for this. Covered under drivetrain warranty but wouldn?t want to own it after that expires.

Most reliable car I've ever owned.

This car has all the extras I was looking for (keyless entry, remote start, sunroof, heated seats, Bluetooth, etc. ). $27 to fill up and I've been driving for two days and the gas gauge has barely moved. Great but for me and my family.

Quality used car

I like the car and it is what I was looking for when I was shopping for a used car. The car has even more features than I wanted.

A fun to drive sporty car.

I really loved this car. If only they could have fixed the cooling system. One day it just for no reason ran out of coolant. Dealer kept it for 6 days. Told me they replaced "everything" in the cooling system, but later on it reoccurred. Oh Well!
