    I drove a Cruze with a turbocharged engine a few years ago for my driver's test. So much power in that thing. One of the most fun cars I've driven.

    I have a 2013 LT and love the car. As for those saying it is slow, while it is not the fastest thing I have ever driven, it is certainly capable and moves when I need it to. I think the turbo helps out a lot with that little engine, although it is a low pressure turbo.
    The car in this video is really nice. The only thing different from mine is the RS package/trim and leather seats, which I really wish I had.
    Fantastic and solid car overall. Great gas mileage and performance/reliability. I just hope the brand doesn't suffer too much from the recall just announced due to randomly shattering front-passenger axle shafts.

    That is very understandable. The first generation Daewoo Lacetti was designed by GM Daewoo. The second generation Daewoo Lacetti is the same as the Cruze but sold in other, primarily Asian markets. The Delta 2 platform is a global platform and this car is made in several different countries for several different markets.

  • @GetsumJ
    @GetsumJ Před 13 lety

    I bought a 2011 RS. It's a very nice car. Problems - Serious Turbo lag, AC is not up to most cars, real MPG is 31 Hwy, 27 City. The lag when taking off will get you killed so be smart. Compared to my other cars, it's a different world. It is better than the 2011 Focus so kudo's to GM. I have 7100 miles on it and it's in the shop monday for an engine noise. So I will be back in my 2006 Type X for a few days which is an impeccable car.

    Push-button start became available in 2012, as did the passive-unlock/lock. Oddly enough, the start button on 2012 Cruze models is rhombus-shaped, but the one on 2013 and 2014 models is circular.

    This is one of my favorite videos, and I am going to buy one for myself maybe after two years of owning my 2012 Civic EX Coupe I would trade it in for a Chevy Cruze LTZ or a 2013 Malibu LTZ. It's the trim that I want and the color that I want and all except for the Navigation.

    To all comments about the rev limiter, it only limits the rev in automatic cars while in park or neutral to 4,000 rpms. The same goes for any automatic in a ford or dodge. Japanese cars are limited at like 5,500 to 6,000 rpms

    I rented a Ltz recently and believe me, the 3.6 liter v-6 has more power than you expect, the car had 26k miles and was about a year old. The power steering had a wine and the a/c was sub par on hot days.. also the tip tronic manual shift mode did not work. I know it was a rental but it still had a good few issues only being a year old at most. Save your money, look elsewhere for a full size...

    It actually means it will be very easy to improve.
    Some cars puts up to 150hp/L, it would make a 210hp cruze without sacrifying too much the reliability. Plus the cruze is very well balanced and at ease on track. I hope the adac will replace the 1.8 by the 1.4 turbo.

    I work with selling these, amongst other Chevrolets, brand new here in Sweden. We only get LS 1,6 (Manual), LT 1,8 (Manual/Automatic) LT 2,0 Diesel (Manual/Automatic). They're nice cars and priced really well. Where I work we sell around five to eight Cruze a month, not all that bad considering Chevrolet is still a very unknown brand in Sweden.

  • @zeal117
    @zeal117 Před 13 lety

    @Trades46 Před 9 lety +1

    I recently driven the 1LT and wasn't all that impressed. Then again I'm coming from a family who primarily own V6s and my parent's Mercedes. The car felt dandy in city driving but gutless once you get on the freeway. The small 1.4T also appears to struggle to get the AC going at ~100F degrees.
    However just as I finished driving the 1LT I got a chance to drive the 2.0 Diesel version, and that one blew me away. It is MUCH more powerful and has MPG ratings to die for. I just wished it wasn't so expensive & the lack of the RS appearance pack makes the TD version rather dull looking.

    The RS package is only an appearance package, consisting mainly of sportier front and rear fascias, lower side-skirts, and the spoiler. The RS package has no bearing on other features. As it stands, push-button start wasn't available at all during the 2011 model-year, so that's why this car doesn't have it. But on 2012 and later models, push-button start is standard on every Cruze LTZ.

  • @Drewbie85
    @Drewbie85 Před 13 lety

    @giannial1985 @bleachatchatpark Yea, the cruze is supposed to redesign the back cushions to help out for 2012, at some point they might put a bigger engine in the cruze for the north american market, in europe it's also offered with a turbo diesel, buick version will have over 2.0 200 hp, when it comes out fall time.

  • @autonathan
    @autonathan Před 13 lety

    @flipfloplogic I think what may cost more is that Chevrolet, I know, put in an extra effort to make this car feel like a luxury car while driving it and to do this they added a lot more sound deadening material in the Cruze. This may cost a lot more. If you have driven the Hyundai Elantra, it is not very quiet inside when on the road. Lots of road noise.

      Ashley Lawrence​ so far so good. I bought my 2015 Ltz, for 22k out the door with 25 miles( now at 13k) and 7 year warranty. It has great power and suspension comfortable but more on the stiff side; avoid potholes (this car is a rebadge German car). To get good advertised gas mileage, drive speed limit and siriusxm is better than Spotify and Pandora.
      Downsides: Gas mileage is great if your light on your feet and just ok with aggressive driving (30-40mpg). Also, I'm 6'2 and I feel I need a bigger car. Lastly, there are some cheap plastic on the side panels.
      Overall 7 year warranty and 2 year maintenance. I feel it was a great buy.

    @randomrazr Its only a license plate. The only time you'd want to cover it up is if you recorded a video of you doing 100mph on the highway, b/c the police can trace it back to you. If you're just recording a video of a car, nothing is going to happen.

    @Joseph9536 Yea, but the Impala is terrible leg room in the rear for a FULL SIZED SEDAN. Don't you agree? I mean if you have the Impala's front seats all the way back, the rear passenger's have like no leg room. But in my Camry there is plenty of leg room even when the seats are all the way back. & Camry is Mid-Sized. So I do not understand that.
