I have a 2013 Cruze and I absolutely love this car, I bought it used with 30 thousand miles on it and it now has 84 thousand miles. No major problems that I had to pay for cause it was still under warranty. The only thing I have done to it was replace the water separating valve “ I think that’s what it’s called “ and I changed the brake pads and have regular maintenance done every 3000 miles. I would recommend this car anytime!
This is surprising... I bought my 2011 Chevy Cruze 2LT with RS package brand new in 2011 right after they came on the market here in the US.....I have 88,000 miles on it now and have had none of the problems you described in this video. Even after hitting a deer with it and doing over $10,000 worth of damage (which has been repaired) it still runs and drives like a top. Love this car.
Mine was a lemon. Hands down.
You will soon.
Same here my 2012 runs perfectly fine no problems at all
@@kerbytheslayer6181 I drove this car for 7 years, put 100,000 miles on it when I traded it off for a Buick. Never had a bit of trouble from it.
So if I'm understanding you correctly, you've owned this vehicle for 10K miles and had to replace the water pump, transmission, spark plugs/ignition coils, brakes and tires? That's a lot for 10K miles, regardless of the vehicle.
Yuuuuuuuup
Check out my latest video on the pile of garbage.
I've owned my 2014 Cruze for four years and have put on 62,000 miles on it. Only had to replace one wheel bearing.
That's a lot of work done to a car with about 10,000 miles. I bought and still have my 2017 VW Jetta new and so far have put about 15,000 miles on it and, knock on wood, have not had any issues at all.
+J Dorner 191,000 miles on my 13 year old Prius and I haven't had to replace anything but tires when they wore out. Even the belt driving the water pump is original. Why anyone would buy Chevy I have no idea. Ford maybe but nothing from GMC or FCA for that matter.
I bought a 2014 Chevy Cruze 3 weeks ago. I got it used with over 41,000 miles on it. I'm hoping on some good luck with my car. It's quiet, has plenty of power and handles quite well. My car is still under warranty and it's been running as I had expected it to. It's a much better vehicle than the 2000 Chevy S10 that I had been driving for the last two years. I think in a few years I might trade this one in for a newer model. I think the one regret I might have with my purchase is the color. Basic black looks nice on a Chevy Cruze, but I kinda wondered if I might have enjoyed having a different colored car like a dark red, blue or even dark green. Aside from that, I have no issues with my car and I hope it serves me well in the future.
If you got a 2014 you should be a lot better off than me. You will still have the water pump issue eventually, but GM warrantied the part to like 150k miles and a few years extra. Check mychevrolet.com for all your special coverage warranties.
I'm buying the 2014 Chevy cruse thos upcoming Tuesday, how is it going with yours?
I have a 2014 Cruze LT2 and i have had it for 3 years at 37,000 miles and now i'm at 102,000 and i have had only a few minor problems (water outlet, ignition coil, and battery) being that its a compact vehicle fortunately the maintenance cost are relatively cheaper than most cars and i have enjoyed it a lot so far. I think the 2014 and newer ones are a little more reliable in my opinion. I give it a 7.5/10
I just bought a 2013 2LT about 6 months ago and I can't really complain it's a good car if you can look past repairs every now and then
I have a 2012 chevy cruze 1.8 it just hit 67000 miles and has had absolutely no problems..Its an automatic and I recently got a trans fluid change at 66000 miles and its smooth as butter. I originally got the 1.8 over any of the turbo models because a friend of mine who's a mechanic told me that the turbo models were prone to some problems, and there's little to no difference in the 1.4 vs 1.8 performance wise. I got a buddy who has 250000 miles on his 2012 and has had no major problems along the way. The handling is so smooth and it's a pleasure to just CRUZE around in lol.
Great video man! That's the one bad thing about cars is the unexpected problems. Bummer about the problems you've been having man! Hope you can go for a while without anymore issues! Can't wait for the next video!
+Colton Steiner Amen to that, me too! Thanks bud!
110k now on mine and im loving it🔥🔥 only had to change a coilpack, maf, pcv valve and a evap pressure valve, had it since 50k miles and thats all
Well, I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze 2LT turbo. I've owned from day one and today I have over 300,000 miles. Did it have problems... Yes! Changed water pump twice, valve cover twice and intake manifold once. Replaced transmission lines once. Nothing else has been done other than those problems. I guess I got lucky.... Great car for highway driving. This car is not good for stop and go city driving.
Hey just came across your video hope your cruise is turned out to be a good car I've got a 2011 1.4l 230,000 trouble-free miles hopefully all the issues you had are long in your past.
i have a 2014 cruze LT, just turned 21000 miles, was two years old on june 14th, I also love my car, great on gas and lots of power, I also had an issue with the water pump, replaced under warranty , and they replaced front rotors, was getting a vibration when braking, but other than that its been a great car so far, :) thank for your review
Thank you for watching! Keep Cruzin'!
Nice video Sean! Hopefully that Chevy Cruze doesn't break down - - but rest assured if it does, there are horse and buggy near by to get you back on the road. I couldn't resist, seeing that in the video just reminded me. hahaha. See you soon man, in our 2002 Silverado, just hit the 186,000 mile mark and going strong.
Thanks Dan! Hahaha very true about that, plenty of horse and buggies! 186,000? Wow!!! Love those trucks, they do run for quite a while! See you soon!
own a used 13 2lt, bought it with 34k miles on it, it had rear disk's and not drums, have had 2 issues both covered under a recall by gm, didn't pay a dime not even for my rental that i had to use for 2 days, love the car now with almost 92k miles on it she still runs just about the same as i bought her, even test drove a new 15 a while ago just to see, not a hair out of place, like you said most of the hate for this car stems from when the first 2 prod years when it was having a lot of issues.
It’s interesting watching this video. I had leased my cruse since new in 2014 and had it until May of 2016 with about 43,000 miles. It was a very quiet and comfortable car that great for me in high school and driving to and driving 70 miles round trip to Chicago a lot but got rid of it because it was giving me so many problems. I had AC issues starting at 10K, the ignition coil go on me in downtown Chicago around 20K, and around 40K oil was leaking from the manifold and it was also misfiring badly too(I forget what that issue was) but my final straw was just how hesitant the transmission was under moderate acceleration, and at other times it just was very messed up and clunky when it did shift, it felt like it was about to fail at 40K miles. It was a decent feeling car though, so much better than what it replaced but I couldn’t stand the transmission anymore.
I do love my Cruze it has its issues, the gas Mileage has been ok on it, it's a quiet car, smooth ride and cute. 😁 I just wish it would stop having the problems. I have a 2013 Cruze
I had a 2012 cruze 1lt with 85k that gave me absolutely no problems and I'm hoping my 2012 cruze 1lt with RS is as much of a pleasure as the first.
The Cruze and Sonic 1.4 are JUNK. I bought a 2013 Sonic 1.4T from my sister. It had 51,000 miles on it. First of all, you should know that these cars have Dexcool coolant in them. Most mechanics call it DEXKILL or DEATHCOOL or something similar. It is designed to destroy engines. It starts out as a liquid, and solidifies inside the engine, plugging up all the coolant passages. The first thing I did was to completely flush the DEXKILL out of it. It took a week and about 20 gallons of distilled water, but I finally got it out. It is impossible to drain the block on these engines, there is no drain plug. I put Prestone OAT coolant in it, which is great stuff for newer cars. Shortly thereafter the water outlet assembly started leaking. I replaced that. Then the water pump failed. I replaced that. I did not take it to the dealer because they would not fix it since it no longer had DEXKILL in it, and I didn't want a dealer working on my car anyway. Then the thermostat failed. Replaced that. Then the evap canister purge valve failed. Replaced that. Then the upper PCV valve failed. That required replacing the entire valve cover. Then the PCV check valve failed. That required replacing the entire PLASTIC intake manifold. I also replaced the lower PCV valve at the turbo inlet, because it was all caked up with carbon. That is a design flaw. In fact, everything above is a design flaw. Then I noticed that the oil line to the turbo had a slight leak. I replaced that with an updated part that has 2 O-rings instead of 1. Another design flaw. Then the last thing. The engine started making a loud squealing sound. I traced that to the serpentine belt tensioner pulley. No bearing, just a bushing. I replaced that. I have almost $1200 in parts alone in this engine between 51,000 and 72,000 miles. And it doesn't end there. Since all of these problems were caused by design defects, they will happen again probably by 125,000-140,000 miles. The turbo may fail by that time as well, and it costs $800. This has got to be the worst engine GM has ever made, and they have made some real junk lately.
So far I have not had any transmission problems, but it will likely happen. I have changed the transmission fluid 3 times in 22,000 miles. It goes in almost clear red, and comes out black. That's right, BLACK. I have never seen BLACK transmission fluid before, This transmission has no filter, at least not one you can get to without completely disassembling it.
My other car is a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. I got it with 47,000 miles on it, it now has 288,000 miles, runs like new, the only repairs it has ever needed were a new alternator, and the vacuum controlled vent actuator unit rebuilt. The alternator was a 10 minute job, the vent actuator was a little more involved, but I did it myself using CZcams how too videos. Yes, the Sonic gets better mileage, but $1200 in parts in 22,000 miles? The Mercury is actually cheaper to operate. I'm done with GM.
Your comments about dex-cool aren't accurate.
I just had that acceleration problem on my 2011 1LT RS at 148,000 miles and some change. I LOVE my Cruze!! It’s way better than the 2010 HHR I had and it’s gets better gas mileage and it’s only been in the shop twice since I’ve had the car (it’ll be one year July 31st) my only upgrade to the car will eventually be aftermarket 16x6.5 rims and LED rear lights
I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze LT RS. I bought it back in March of 2017 and so far I've had it for nine months. I absolutely love it and I would never give it up for any other car. It is fully loaded with the sun roof, fog lights, My Link entertainment system and a nine speaker Pioneer sound system with subs that are hidden and take up zero space. The Cruze has excellent gas mileage and I commute daily between work and school. I fill up the car usually twice a month and I get around 360 - 380 miles per tank. When I bought it, the Cruze had only 21,000 miles on it. Currently it has 31420 miles on it so I've added a lot sense then. The Cruze is perfect as it is fancy, at least to me, efficient, and stylish. Most important, it is roomy and I have no problem taking my family in it on hours long car rides. It is the perfect car - zero complaints. It is dark red btw
Jawad I love mines too. But common issues are water outlet and water pump failures. But I love how my car handles and it has good acceleration once turbo kicks in.
Its a very honest review. I've got a2013 cruze and less problems with it. But when i went to the service center I find out that how scary it is for the year before mine.
Thank you. Yeah, I definitely bought the wrong year...
3 year old cars are the best cause all the issues have been taken care of. And save a bunch of money!
What the heck? I have a 2012 Accord and no issues or repairs at all. I drive this thing pretty hard too but lately I've been taking it easy.
I've got a 2012 and I haven't had any problems and I brought it used with 38000 miles on it .
Wait.
@@tavo2422 exactly
How’s it going
I have a 2011 1.8L Manual Cruze and it's at about 35k miles (i know i got it very low milage) it was actually in an accident, so it was cheap and i got the body repaired as well. I think the manual transmission avoided a lot of the issues yours had.
Only thing i've had to get repaired on it so far is the thermostat which was causing the fan to run at max speed all the time.
Other than that, the only thing i dislike about it is the ABS check, it's really loud and concerning sometimes.
Probably going to keep it at max for 5 years. I've had it a year and a half so far.
I have a Chevy Cruze 2012. I’ve had a lot of issues with it, i was just wondering what did you do to fix the problem with the gear shift, my car is really jumpy doesn’t drive well especially when I’m in small roads with lots of red lights. I press the gas and it takes a while to go
We've had good luck with our '12 cruze with the 1.4. Have over 100K miles on it now. Only issue we had was loosing coolant at 80,000 miles, some valve on the manifold was defective. The dealer replaced free. It is an automatic BTW
I Love my 2012 Cruze LTZ RS also it gets wonderful as Mileage and Runs Great and is super Quite.
How many miles were on the 2012Chevy Cruze when you bought it in 2015???????
Plus the 10,000 miles you placed on it in 2016?
I just bought one of those I’m a scare now 🥲
Me too
Me 3 just got my today
@@tmgrahrah1273 how’s the Cruze going for you now, a year later? Any problems since you bought it?
I have the 2011 eco.
The waterpump is under warranty.
Transmission, I have the same issue, there was no recall, but it only shows up in cold weather.
The brakes? I changed mine at 65k miles, and they were so easy to replace them!
I don't know what you're saying!
Also, there's nothing difficult about removing the coil pack. I don't know HOW you could possibly damage it??? O.o
I barely know anything about cars, but it's so easy to replace the plugs.
Btw, the plugs aren't bad. They're good. Just gapped incorrectly. Regapping costs about 15 minutes of your time, and it runs good again!
I had no real issues with my 2011 cruze Eco, other than the heater core leaking coolant fluid (rubber thingy), and the AC works like crap, and the radio can't handle FF or REW large size MP3s very well...
My 2012 cruze 1.4 has 150 k miles and going strong as ever
My 2011 std, 1.8 non turbo has 153,000km. 3 years back, water pump and coils. Original breaks and 2 original tires. I thought it was high cost until your vidio. 😃
You got lucky buddy, my dads 2013 Cruze just died at 39,450 miles.
I have many problems with my cruze 2013 in the first year.transmission,coolant
Thank u 4 review,they say in philippines american cars are easy to break,now its true when you explained to us thank you.japanese last longer
Mine is a 2016 limited edition. I got 20k miles and no issues so far. Good car. I wish I could softer ride out of it.
Update?
I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze LS automatic with front discs and rear drums, and I upgraded the front brake rotors and pads very easily in my driveway. Only the rear drums are a slight pain in the ass to change. The front discs are as easy as any other car. I'm currently at 28,500 miles with zero repairs and I do all of my own maintenance. Maybe I'm lucky, but so far no issues.
@TCL Yes , it now has 46k+ and no issues. I get a transmission flush once every 15k miles , besides that just oil changes every 4-5k , tire rotations same time as oil , and spray underneath the car with fluid film lanolin oil to protect it from road salt. Everything works , still runs perfect , it even has the factory battery still installed and I just trickle charge it.
I’m deciding against 2011 Cruze or 2011 fusion ..
2015 Chevy Cruze 1.8t here. My issues were Water pump or water outlet @ 55,000. Causing loss coolant. Also pcv valve broke around 60,000. Car is now at 71,500 so far no issues.
On a other note. Sometimes my radio freezes and have to turn off the car and wait some time before it starts working again.
My fault LTZ 1.4t
That’s a shame. I bought a my14 1.6t Sri with 60k on it and have done another 30k with no issues at all. Great car imo.
My dad has had his cruz LT for 2 years and it has 51,000 miles on it. The turbo went out at 48,000 miles (replaced with warranty) and now it's leaking coolint into the cylinder head so my dad is now going to sell it for a different car
I just bought a used 2013 with 46 k miles...it is immaculate, still has 50 K left on the drive train warranty ( thank god after reading the comments on here) and I purchased a 24 k/ 2 yr extended warranty just in case....I like it so far, not my first choice in vehicles cause im a big guy, but i needed a DEPENDABLE car...hope I made the right choice
You should be fine since it's a 2013. Most of the issues were fixed by then. Keep an eye out on your valve cover/PCV system, because ALL of them fail (100% failure rate). Not a big issue and super cheap to fix, but just something to keep in mind.
I needed new front pads and front rotors at 30,000 km's lol from brand new but thats from driving very hard most of the time so is about right for my car, only thing is that it caught me out and I heard the pads metal on metal so there went my rotors and were not cheap !
Love my 2017 hatchback Cruze...
My 2014 has Disc Brakes front and rear and is only a LT model. I am confused to why you have drums on your rear brakes when yours is a LTZ. My 2011 Chevy Cruze LTZ also had discs all round. My first Cruze was a hand-me down and had 110k miles and was a POS. I fixed it and got it to where I had a positive ownership experience, PCV valve, Coil Pack, Spark Plugs... My 2014 is a LT with the Manual Trans in it, which is a great car all around. No issues at all.
But most importantly ,this car has one of the best crash test outcome.
GM left India. In my state, Its like lots of people are driving 2010,11,12,13 models most commonly. M trying to buy one. What is your recommendation?
bought mine w 138k and have had it for 4 months. had to buy water pump a valve cover and a map sensor
Only problem I've had on my cruze is the spc valve i think its called went bad but it was covered because chevy conjoined the valve and the cover so when you change one they both get changed. btw I have a 2015 cruze lt
Yeah that is a common issue with the Cruze's. It's called the PCV valve. Thanks for watching my video.
yea the tech at Bonner Chevrolet in Kingston pa where I purchased the car said they have water pump issues, but thank god they replaced it, and all is fine now, guess all cars have some issues and some bad part designs, but still love my car lol
Same here! Thanks for watching!
I have a 2010 GM Korea built Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 LT with 140.000 km on it. The only "problems " I have had with it the past seven years are with the speakers in the doors. I had to replace two of them. Other than that it has been a really solid car. Only regular maintenace, no surprises. Unfortunately GM left Europe so no new Chevrolet for me. I would definitely recommend a first generation Cruze.
PARKLAAN I recently purchased mine :))
Good car, unfortunately they have even left India also...
ouch...no we dont replace transmissions and water pumps within 10k...they look great but
obviously they arent built well...good review
Honestly I have a cruze 70000 miles and the only thing I had to change was the valve cover. And aside that everything works perfectly till now
How is it now?
It happens. Sometimes you get lemons, (Components fail) but other times, other exact vehicles come out to be great cars.
I had a 2014 Dodge Dart (yeah yeah) thing was junk, should of tried to file a lemon law. It spent so much time in the shop
What size are those tires??
Bummer about your problems. I just rolled 25k on mine, no problems at all. Getting ready in a few months to do a 3 year review...
+pearsonba350 Still a baby yet! Be sure to watch for leaks, because your guaranteed to go through a water pump someday.
yeah..we own a 14 and had about 10 things fixed under warranty... chevy..also the paint scratches really easy
Haha, yeah I've noticed that too.
that the 2014 sucks..or the paint is shit?
Please keep us posted. I have the '12 ECO, AT. Bought new. My service issues are too numerous to mention here. Did you have to replace the pcv yet? Turbo? Any oil leaks like the rest of us? Like you, I still love the car and I have 88K miles on it but those two years you mentioned are correct to stay away from. I may get a Malibu or Impala next.
czcams.com/video/EicQmrII1Jw/video.html Nope, luckily I have not yet. Buy an Impala, too! Wayyy better than the Malibu.
Good info.I plan on buying a stick shift version if I do obtain one. What mileage did you start owning this at?
30,000. Go for a 2014+.
you should name it Ted, so its the Chevy Ted Cruze
Rofl love it.
Nice avatar too!
Good car ur transmission went when it was still new an ur water pump I have a 2011 cruze and it's junk
How bad was this flair? Mine is doing the same 3-4 but only a little bit and randomly
Bad haha
I haven't done that much to my 2001 Camry, and I bought it new.
Hi, My 2011 Cruze also have a transmission problem recently. Can you tell me how much did you pay for the rebuild? And where did you do the rebuild?from the dealer? My car is 74k now. I m not sure if I should do the rebuild and keep it. Your info is going to help. Thanks.
Mine was under dealer warranty. I would get rid of the car.
the ownership didn't return my cruze car they kept it over there weeks and making up lies do you any advice of how can I get my car that is 2015 one from them?
Report it stolen
Just so you know , this is not normal , but its normal for a chevy
Hell they drove like a hay wagon but I'd rather have a chevette or a dàmn oil burning Vega at least you could afford to drive em or junk em how do you throw away a car valued at Ten Grand running on three cylinders with zero compression on one cylinder Chevrolet should have to buy the junk bastards all back burnt valve or piston at 60 thousand miles that's garbage
My 03 Honda with 220k still runs lets see Cruze do it
Sounds like GM messed up the spark plug gap similar to how Ford did with their 3.5 Ecoboost. They changed the spec 2 or 3 times while trying to solve the misfire issues.
Yeah, it's annoying! Why couldn't they get it right the first time?
No way bro I'll never stay away from the 2011 cruze. Is the best I have.
Ya know... I was about to take a look at a few used Cruzes (2014 and 2015) but I'm reconsidering after watching this. Are the 2014-2015s that much more reliable?
(I currently drive a Corolla which has zero problems...)
DJ Corner get a manual transmission and avoid the turbos. service it regularly. there's guys with 250k-450k (yeah I know!) on a Chevy Cruze enthusiasts website.
I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze 1.8 manual
16 cruze limited. 53k miles. No issues. great mpg
Forget em they look good drive good but but engine and drivetrain are garbage
I have a nearly identical 2013. Same packaging and color except with the all-star package. It's a great car. Drives better than anything else in the category. Sounds like you just got a fluke. There's plenty of 200,000 mile Cruze's on the forum.
You on CruzeTalk as well? I'm one of their moderators.
Yeah, definitely got a fluke. Sucks because I love the car but hate the reliability with it.
Sparkman? But no. I was in the Facebook group, but got annoyed with people and left it.
Ayyyyyyy yeah that's me. The forums are a lot better, I recommend joining there. If you do let me know!
Maybe! I'll let you know. Ohioan here as well.
RUN FROM ALL THESE CARS!!! ALL YEARS, ESPECIALLY THE 2011, ARE JUNK!!!!! RUN!!!!
TERRY TORRES nooooo I just bought one

Hi, is the ride? Cushioned, firm, rough...?
Could you compare to 2017 Toyota Camry or Buick century? Thanks
Firm. More firm than the Camry.
@@PaulsPlace
Thank you
I Have A 2012 Eco Chevy Cruze 6 Speed Manual 50 Mpg Car
I have the 2014 Chevy Cruze RS with the turbo charge. IT IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF JUNK THERE IS!! I’ve had so many problems with mine I literally had to put in the shop the second week I had it! I could literally go on forever with all the problems I’ve had with it. Keep in mind I’ve only had this car a year in March of 2019. Now it’s currently in the shop again. Because it blowed all the oil out the motor!! That’s right it literally blew out a crank seal and all the oil out the motor! Unless your rich or just got very deep pockets I wouldn’t recommend getting this car! It’s literally just been a money pit and all I need is for this piece of junk to last me until I graduate college but I doubt it lasts that long!
I have a 2015 and water pump went out. Radiator leaks, fuse blown in steering wheel wouldn't let key come out. I'll never buy another GM car again.
Ok and to actually think I was gonna buy this car yes I’ll pass
I own a 2011 and ive never experienced not a single issue.. not with the water pump or chirp from the engine. Just take care of your car.
Our old Pontiac van had the original water pump for 14 years. Plus had the original transmission. Just goes to show that GM used to make their cars better back then.
Cruze 2.0 per liter disel milage
Wow. Any car I get and my transmission going out? I would be throwing the entire car away! That’s automatically a no go for me. I’ll get everything else repaired but a transmission I will not. I love Chevy tho.
How many miles do you have on it now ?
Not sure now. Got rid of the POS at 76k.
I have a 2007 Camry with 172k miles and it’s giving me issues, I think I’m going to buy one of these instead. The same year civic and corolla are hideous except for the 2014-2016
i have a 2013 checy cruze turbo lt. got it at 87k miles, now at 103k. im currently on my third coolant leak, i have a valve cover gasket leak, i have replaced the thermostat, and my ac compressor is going bad. never buy a cruze.
I made the mistake of buying a Chevy Cruze. I had no idea.... HUGE MISTAKE....... It is worthless, and the power keeps cutting out.
i drive a manual transmission and its awesome!!!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
it better than automatic so far
The manual is probably better than the auto, I have a manual cruze
The transmission didn’t leave you stranded, but if you kept driving it, then that would have been a different story. I’m a Cruze owner trust me.
Whoa, sorry dude those repairs are out of line for the age of the car.. I'm considering a Cruze myself as there are a million of them and they are reasonably priced and somewhat stylish but damn. Yeah I knew to stay away from first year models, but even a first year model, water pump, breaks and transmission problems in year one, that's not cool.
I wonder what the first major repair is gonna be for pearsonba350 ????!!!! lol
I got my money on the water pump.
I purchased a used 2011 Chevy Cruze LT in 2018 and it was fine at first. The dealer said it was a 10 point inspection did, etc. It drove very well. Shortly after it pops up ac off due to high engine temperature and engine idle. They said it was there thermostat, thermal housing, hoses, got all of those replaced. It was smoking and coolant leaking. Got that fixed or so I thought and drove off from the mechanics shop yesterday, 8 minutes into the drive, yep you guessed it...this pops up ac off due to high engine temperature. I was 9.3 miles from home,it was 90 degrees, so I had it towed. Now to figure this out. Any help???
Anita Johnson just get a toyota, honda, or Nissan
Sold my 2012 with 125k miles no problems at all just wear and tear , friends 2013 has 263k miles right now only wear and tear as well . Treat your cars right they’ll last you a long time .
Bullshit
I've got 35000 miles on my 17 Elantra, bought new. Have had 0 problems or issues. Sorry you've had so many problems. That's not right. Maybe the previous owner abused it.
My 2014 has 20k and works fine no engine lights. It’s notorious they all leak from the water housing , soooo I just replaced the standard plastic part with a metal one. :) there solution fixed.
Hopefully you have better luck!
Think I'll stick with my Camry, I haven't done that much to it, and it has 180,000 miles.
Tinky Nine Toyota are beast cars!!
Thinking about buying a 2013 Camry with 121k miles on it
The car will only last as long as you keep up with it.
What's the problem when you found the water pump went bad? I just bought one @47K miles, 2012 LT.
It sounded like a baby rattle in my engine and coolant was leaking.
I don’t understand why people keep buying these cars?
I just bought a 2016 Chevy Cruze LT with 62 k on it , awesome car
What engine
1.4
I bought a 2014 certified Cruze , drove it now 5 yrs. no problems other than one I am responsible for.. no heads up needed. This guy is the worse experience example,, I should post one of my car, an excellent one.
That’s the thing, 2014-2016 were the best years becuase they made quit a bit of changes. The 2011/2012 were known to be complete garbage, especially the 2011’s. I mean, I get first year model runs have issues, but the Cruzes were a whole other level of issues.
2:57 are you flooring it?? That thing is slow.
Yup and yup.
Don't sleep on the #CruzeNation, might not be as fast as a charger but they get up and ride. It's better to experience it in person. 😁
TR31995 oh Jesus, Cruze nation? If you really think it's quick then you have not experienced a car that is actually somewhat fast
I mean... it's an economy car...
138hp and weighs 3,100+ all the reasons this POS car drives slow asf.
