"I bought this car new the first year out, LTZ. I averaged over 31 mpg since purchase. I travel >100 miles each day to work, highway/in town, high desert/ocean climates and over a major grade splitting the county. I have had many other commuter vehicles, including Honda and Toyota, none compare with my Cruze. It has everything I need including inexpensive cell phone through on star. In California we must have hands free and this feature allows me to work even when in the car through my sound system in the car. I am a Porsche lover and this car gives me the ability to drive a fun car at a lot less cost, this is the 5th one I have purchased for Exes and kids. My only dilemma now is do I trade for the diesel? No I am not comparing to any of my Porsches, but it is by far the best of all my cars to make these long daily trips and it is fun!!!"

"Had the car for a while now, I don't do a lot of driving but overall I am very impressed with Chevy. I like everything about the car. I wish it had more horsepower, it is pretty slow in acceleration but it gets up at speed. Where is the turbo? lol. I used to drive a customized Civic so I'm used to fast acceleration that I had. Anyways, Love the car for going to work/school, great mileage."

"I purchased the LTZ and I am in love with the car but my heart is breaking. Bluetooth cannot find my phone. My right headlight does not work from week one and today the left side speakers no longer work either. I just made 500 miles this afternoon and still have a temporary plate. Going to the dealership tomorrow... Mind you I DO LOVE THE CAR just sad, too sad to be angry. Riders well, all n, all I do recommend to anyone to give this beauty a try."
