My Chevy

I love this vehicle! I loved my 14 Chevy Cruze and was sad to get rid of it but I absolutely love the 18 cruze I bought today.

Love the Cruze. Too bad GM discontinued it.

This is the R/S model with standard engine, transmission etc. it has excellent acceleration. The starter went out at 11,400 miles. And the transmission seems to “slip” from 1st-2nd gear and 2nd-3rd when it’s cold. Dealer says all normal! I say BS! Other than these two issues, I love the car. Great gas mileage! Not a fan of the auto start-stop especially when you can’t disengage it.

Auto stop problem

I purchased my 2018 Cruze in October 2019 , I'm a Lyft driver after 7 days of driving sitting at a traffic light in auto stop the car wouldn't start back up. The Chevrolet dealership replaced starter, fuse block , wire to fuse block and wire from fuse block to starter. After driving for 4 days the car did the same thing. After a while the car will eventually start again. Technicians can't figure out why it does. And since it hasn't happened with them , they don't know what is wrong with it. It's the Auto stop.. I love the car . But it's been at dealership for 3 weeks out of the 8 weeks I've had it.

Just bought it, love it so far.

This car has all of the features and amenities I need. Just bought it, and anticipate a good ownership experience based on Consumer Reports reliability score and overall satisfaction with the vehicle.

Great mileage With Minimum Maintenance

Fuel economy is an important factor to consider when buying a new car, even when gas prices are down—they won't stay that way forever. A vehicle with good braking and emergency handling can help you avoid an accident.
