Here's the in-depth look at my new 2014 Chevy Cruze 1LT with the RS package. I really like this car, drives very nice, decent ride, and some neat toys for someone who has never bought a new car before.
Almost time to do the 10 year update if you still have her! I miss my 2016 Cruze 1LT RS so much. Traded her in back in 2020 for an SUV. I know where she is right now. I pass by the house where her new owner is regularly. If I win a bit of money, I will knock on buddies door and offer them something for her back lol
I had been driving a 1991 CHEVY Z24 for 24 years.So that ought to tell you something about Chevys.Still runs and looks new. But situation changed and ended up with a 2012 Cruze and its one NICE car.Plenty of get up and go,( this 4 cylinder engine is equal to those v 6's of years ago folks) and its so quiet inside you cant hear the engine run at highway speeds. Get one if you can folks!
Great video I just purchased a brand new 2014 Chevy Cruze and I love it. Also you gave me some great ideas as far as getting it customized...This is my first brand new car and I'm loving it thanks for sharing........
The Chevy Cruze 1.8L Eco Tech LS 6 speed manual transmission. It has low & high gear box it like to drive in low RPM. If you are climbing hills you need to shift down to fourth possibly third gear. This gives the manual transmission time to speed up.
That a nice looking car. I'm amazed at how powerful those little turbo 4 cyl's feel. My brother has a new Fusion with a 1.6 Turbo and I was really impressed by it. Looks like it has everything you could want. I'm sure the six speed makes it more fun too.
I had a 2012 Black 1LT RS I loved it. Unfortunately I let my mother borrow it one day and a guy blew red light and hit her, car got totaled. I didn't buy anything after that just went back to driving my trucks.
Thanks for your post on the Cruze just got one myself and when I was looking for a new car did a review search and your video came up . Went ahead and got it based on your review and like the post you put up on the things you are doing to yours gives me some ideas thanks
Ricky Rodriguez Well thanks for the kind words my friend. You're actually the third person who was contacted me now who has said they've bought a Cruze from watching my video. I should get ahold of Chevy and get some sort of a Kick-back...
Nice thorough review man - if you don't mind me asking how is your car doing? Miles? Any maintenance issues? Hows the gas usage - are you saving on that? Many questions I know but I just picked up the same one.
I love your cruze. I have been an avid watcher of your projects, it gives me ideas for my cruze which is the LTZ RS . I wish I could upload you a pic of it. Keep up the good shows. Eric
Awesome, I've been waiting for this video, haha. Really is a sharp looking car. I like the deck lid spoiler. Storm Trooper idea sounds good... Bet ya that crazy lady across the street will be mad at ya for having a newer car than her, haha. Gotta watch out! Congrats again!
How is the maintenance on this car? I see you have only had it for a short while i am guessing. But we are looking into getting this car, an automatic. Cuz we are city drivers and where we are a manual is not that good. Plus we have a manual suv. already. Also how are the blind spots? Are there any? Are they bad if there is any?
Very nice car, looking to possibly trade my 10 Cobalt SS in for one of these.....looking for something a little more refined and comfortable....only thing that concerns me is the lack of hp/torque coming from the SS which has 280hp and over 300 ftlb torque. Lots of luck with the car
i have the same color and so does 1k other people in my area so to make mine stand out from the others i added a red racer strip on the left (driver side) now people think its a CHARGER. LOL. I liked my cruze at first but when i added the stripe i loved my cruze.
New Cruze owner here, great review! I just got a '13 2lt rs with 84k miles. Any tips I should watch for as far as major repairs? Also I was mainly comparing it with another 2 versions of the cruze (with more miles) and a couple Focuses (Focii?) one was a hatchback. So far happy with my choice, fun to drive and I think it's good for my first manual trans car.
Thanks for the Tour. But I must have Automatic! 😊 Only thing I hate about cars like this , damn gas tank on wrong side!!! I USED to it being on Driver Side!
I bought the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze 1lt Rs 1.4L with only 4 miles 1 week later check engine light comes on I popped the hood open to my surprise motor oil on the top backside and bottom I took it back to the dealership and they fixed it I try to exchange it for a different car but they didn't want to so now I'm stuck with this car and now only have had this car for only 12 days hopefully it doesn't break down again
I've had problems with mine also. I have a 2013 eco, and I've had the driver info center stop working, weird buzzing noise after turning the car off, clutch getting stuck, gears grinding, and on top of all that, gm just announced a recall on them again
michelle means anymore problems? I looking to purchase one too..same year and same model... I just dont want to make a bad purchase. Anything would help my decision
+baseer rahimi I average about 35.5 miles per gallon, that's after owning the car for two and a half years, driving almost 22,000 miles. And that is a pretty even mix of highway and city driving.
+baseer rahimi No problem on the reply- I enjoy helping. I have had absolutely no issues since I bought the car new, completely happy with it. If you decide to buy one, you'll be about the seventh person I've helped with their decision. GM should be giving me a kick-back for selling so many cars...
if i was to have that car i would want the highest model they have and it must have every option and the ones u have to pay extra for and it must be in black outside and all red inside right down to the dash and steering wheel being red. but thats just me i am picky with how the car must be and how it has to be colored
I have a Chevy 2014 the only things I do not like is the key.... Also the lights in side the tack. and speed omp. hard to see during the day.... The night is okay...
....yes navigation is provided by OnStar controls right on the rearview mirror you just speak directly to an operator....additionally chevy mylink on the optional tech package
Great-looking car. You pretty much chose the exact model down the color and everything that I am considering. I know it's only been a few months, but do you have any more thoughts on the car? Still liking it as much as you did at first? Anything new to report? Thanks.
She's been good to me for the last few months. Just took it in yesterday for a recall notice on one of the CV axles (no repair needed), and an A/C line with some oil on it (excess assembly lube oozing from a fitting). No other issues to date. Got about 3300 miles on her now.
I'm currently looking at these cars. I test drove one and absolutely loved, so my mind is pretty much already made up. But, I was going to ask how you like yours? Being that I see this was uploaded in January, you've had about six months of driving it I am assuming. Is it reliable? Have you had any issues? Thanks in advance if you reply!
I like my little Cruze. IT rides good, gets exceptional fuel economy, looks sharp, and is comfortable to drive. I would definitely recommend one. Two recalls on mine, one for a drive axle, and a new one for an air bag actuator, but no problems to report. I have just over 5,000 miles on mine, and I'm averaging 34 mpg. Hope you enjoy yours when you get it!
pearsonba350 I finally bought mine. I bought the Chevrolet Cruze 1LT with the RS package as well. I ordered mine with exactly what I wanted (I'm a picky person, haha). I ended up getting the technology package as well with the Chevrolet MyLink which is a 7" widescreen display in the dash with all sorts of neat features including a backup camera (Which I actually don't use often, I prefer looking behind me). I got it in the Black Granite Metallic color though, beautiful in the sun. I just wanted to thank you for the videos you made of your Cruze, it actually helped me decide a bit. I have been looking at cars in this class for a couple months and this is the car I wanted the most. Already has 547 miles on it and I'm thoroughly enjoying this car. Have owned it for 5 days now.
Seth Stugelmeyer Cool- Glad I was able to help in picking your new ride! I'm at about 5,500 miles and no problems at all! Get amazing gas mileage- I really like that!
Maui Kahiapo I absolutely love my Cruze. I have no problems to report as of yet. I don't drive that often so I only have 1004 miles on it so far. I really like the feature that OnStar offers allowing me to control certain things from my smartphone, such as unlocking/locking my doors or starting my car and even sending directions to my car's navigation system or even locating the exact location my car is in the parking lot. I'm getting an average of 33mpg, which is almost all in town. On interstate I average 39mpg. I really enjoy the features the mylink touchscreen offers, was definitely worth the little extra for the screen. Hope this helps!
Nice new car Brian and do you know what I have a friend who drive a 2003 Nissan Maxima and he's car is equipped with the indicator off temperature for Inside and outside temperature. To go to work you should use your Chevrolet cruze.
Thodoris Karamourat Who knows. They started deleting random stuff as the years go on. IIRC they gave everyone but eco 6m a spare and took the Z link away unless you had a higher trim. Then there was the deletes for Eco 6MT that kind of made no sense in the real world MPG.
truthfully you can barely see out the back window over the 2 that are still there. that may be the reason it left. My car is missing that center headrest and that arm rest as well.
Yup- 3-1/2 years now, just over 32,000 miles. No problems at all- with the car itself. Been hit a few times in the parking lot, had a window busted out on my drive to work, but the car runs great!
In my opinion, very big waste of money. It's a car. It's just as reliable as any 2000 dollar Honda, if not less reliable. I don't see why people buy new cars. Please let me know!
Almost time to do the 10 year update if you still have her! I miss my 2016 Cruze 1LT RS so much. Traded her in back in 2020 for an SUV. I know where she is right now. I pass by the house where her new owner is regularly. If I win a bit of money, I will knock on buddies door and offer them something for her back lol
She is one pretty car, I'd say a much better choice than the focus. She should last you a while, just like any chevy!
I'm 13 and I drove that car learning stick shift about 3 days ago drives like a dream!
now you're 18 did you get one lol
I had been driving a 1991 CHEVY Z24 for 24 years.So that ought to tell you something about Chevys.Still runs and looks new.

Not even kidding I love that song you have GREAT taste in cars AND music👍👍👍👍
Just bought mine January 2021 its burgundy. I love it. Great video.
I wanna get a blue one

Thanks for your walk a round. I bought the same exact model and your video was very helpful. Same color and everything.
Do you still own the car ?
I remember when my parents had a 1980 Chevrolet Citation which they bought new and kept it for about 4 years.
I had a 2012 Black 1LT RS I loved it. Unfortunately I let my mother borrow it one day and a guy blew red light and hit her, car got totaled. I didn't buy anything after that just went back to driving my trucks.
Thank you for this video. Very helpful!
Excellent review. Thank-you!
Thanks for your post on the Cruze just got one myself and when I was looking for a new car did a review search and your video came up . Went ahead and got it based on your review and like the post you put up on the things you are doing to yours gives me some ideas thanks

You should lol for me I was leaning towards the corolla I've if I couldn't see buying and Japanese car . Thanks for your input
I got one too haha!
Excellent video, I am also a proud Cruze owner.
Nice thorough review man - if you don't mind me asking how is your car doing? Miles? Any maintenance issues? Hows the gas usage - are you saving on that? Many questions I know but I just picked up the same one.

When I checked the dipstick for the motor oil I did not read any oil added two quarts of oil to fill back up.
Marysville! I'm in Snohomish :) Thanks for the video
Is the 1lt and lt the same thing? Also does this have bk up camera?????
I just buy my today LT RS Delicious and pretty nice car Toronto City.
The ones in the pillars are called roof curtain airbags.
Do you know how the navigation works?? I’ve had my car a week and CZcams isn’t helping.
When u accelerate more that 40km/h on 3rd gear some triangle shift sign pop out what’s does that mean ??
God dang that thing was loud when you pulled up! Never heard one make that much noise.
i have a 2014 lt 1 chevy cruze recall on it and the cars driveshafe broke and almost killed me and no fix for the car :(
Awesome, I've been waiting for this video, haha. Really is a sharp looking car. I like the deck lid spoiler. Storm Trooper idea sounds good... Bet ya that crazy lady across the street will be mad at ya for having a newer car than her, haha. Gotta watch out! Congrats again!
Crazy lady has already been heard saying stuff about me and my new car. Personally, I'm glad she's jealous!
How is the maintenance on this car? I see you have only had it for a short while i am guessing. But we are looking into getting this car, an automatic. Cuz we are city drivers and where we are a manual is not that good. Plus we have a manual suv. already. Also how are the blind spots? Are there any? Are they bad if there is any?
Loving that car bro! Wish I had one myself! :)
Great video. Thanks for the review!
very cool little car dude. couldn`t help notice the exhaust pipes made in canada yahoo!!!
Gotta represent the Great White North, eh?
you betcha
HOW BIG IS THE GAS TANK IN LITERS? Thanks!
If you are on the Cruze Talk forums the silver trim and speaker rings removal how to is there.
Very nice car, looking to possibly trade my 10 Cobalt SS in for one of these.....looking for something a little more refined and comfortable....only thing that concerns me is the lack of hp/torque coming from the SS which has 280hp and over 300 ftlb torque.
Lots of luck with the car
I'm about to buy a 2014 cruze and I'm just wondering why is your screen small and not like the bigger my link touch screen one??
i have the same color and so does 1k other people in my area so to make mine stand out from the others i added a red racer strip on the left (driver side) now people think its a CHARGER. LOL. I liked my cruze at first but when i added the stripe i loved my cruze.
very nice video
thanks for your input because i am bit confused between TOYOTA COROLLA VS CHEVY CRUZE
New Cruze owner here, great review! I just got a '13 2lt rs with 84k miles. Any tips I should watch for as far as major repairs? Also I was mainly comparing it with another 2 versions of the cruze (with more miles) and a couple Focuses (Focii?) one was a hatchback. So far happy with my choice, fun to drive and I think it's good for my first manual trans car.
here in canada the opera lighting is known as joint rollin light lol
how can you drive with out a licence plate
I've got a temp paper plate in the rear window- good for about 6 weeks, or until my real plates show up.
very impressed with you're vid , good job.
how is the clutch and shifter action?
I love the new impala, but I find that little turbo cruze very incising
They are very nice little cars
Thanks for the Tour. But I must have Automatic! 😊
Only thing I hate about cars like this , damn gas tank on wrong side!!! I USED to it being on Driver Side!
I honestly don't know... I've never used mine. It might be tied into the OnStar system...
Nice car! Seems like it handles well.
I like it. Just passed a year of ownership, and just rolled 11,000 miles yesterday. No issues to report at all. Good little car!
I bought the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze 1lt Rs 1.4L with only 4 miles 1 week later check engine light comes on I popped the hood open to my surprise motor oil on the top backside and bottom I took it back to the dealership and they fixed it I try to exchange it for a different car but they didn't want to so now I'm stuck with this car and now only have had this car for only 12 days hopefully it doesn't break down again

michelle means anymore problems? I looking to purchase one too..same year and same model... I just dont want to make a bad purchase. Anything would help my decision
thanks for the review .. just got the 2014 Chevy cruze... lovin it so far!!!! ☺☺☺😊😊😄😄
I hope you see this, how do you like it now?
Great car... MyLink could be a great add-on.
Cool , I,m picking up a Hot Red one this week - wish me Luck , glad I watched this :) QC
how is this car on GAS my friend? i'm looking to purchase Cruze but no idea how is it on GAS
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
+baseer rahimi I average about 35.5 miles per gallon, that's after owning the car for two and a half years, driving almost 22,000 miles. And that is a pretty even mix of highway and city driving.
Wow that's amazing gas mileage though. Any big mechanical issue in the past two year so far ? Thanks for replying me dude.
+baseer rahimi No problem on the reply- I enjoy helping. I have had absolutely no issues since I bought the car new, completely happy with it. If you decide to buy one, you'll be about the seventh person I've helped with their decision. GM should be giving me a kick-back for selling so many cars...

I was going to try for silver or blue, not a big fan of black. This white one caught my eye, so I went with it.
Nice review. Thanks
I have a Chevy 2014 the only things I do not like is the key.... Also the lights in side the tack. and speed omp. hard to see during the day.... The night is okay...
Does this car have a navigation system in it
....yes navigation is provided by OnStar controls right on the rearview mirror you just speak directly to an operator....additionally chevy mylink on the optional tech package
does it have mylink?
Why is this guy so adorable?
Seth Rogen lookalike maybe
Charlz85 righttttt
How tall are you? I'm 6'6" ya think I could fit in there?
I'm 6'1", and I fit just fine. Lots of head room, and I don't have the seat all the way back. These new cars are surprisingly roomy inside now days...
Great-looking car. You pretty much chose the exact model down the color and everything that I am considering. I know it's only been a few months, but do you have any more thoughts on the car? Still liking it as much as you did at first? Anything new to report? Thanks.

Brian Pearson Very cool. I'll be test driving this weekend.
Muy buen auto el Chevrolet cruze.
Does it have an aux input?
Josh Madrid Yes it does- in the center console, under the arm rest.
wheres the Cadillac at i see the two trucks and the jeep, but no Cadillac?
Parked behind the Jeep for the time being...
okay i thought for a second you might have sold it or traded it in for the new car
I'm currently looking at these cars. I test drove one and absolutely loved, so my mind is pretty much already made up. But, I was going to ask how you like yours?

Seth Stugelmeyer I am thinking about getting literally the exact same car this week. Color and everything. How has it treated you in the first month?
Maui Kahiapo I absolutely love my Cruze. I have no problems to report as of yet. I don't drive that often so I only have 1004 miles on it so far.

I think in Britain GM is called Vauxhall.
Nice new car Brian and do you know what I have a friend who drive a 2003 Nissan Maxima and he's car is equipped with the indicator off temperature for Inside and outside temperature. To go to work you should use your Chevrolet cruze.
I have the outside temp, but not the inside.
pearsonba350 Thats good but will you use your Chevrolet Cruze to go to work?
you get in and out in the LTZ auto climate.
CAN WE GET A CHEVY CRUZE 2 DOORS MORE SPORT MORE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Seriously? No central headrest in the backseat?
2011 only had those 12 and up deleted that.
t436 WHY???????
Thodoris Karamourat Who knows. They started deleting random stuff as the years go on. IIRC they gave everyone but eco 6m a spare and took the Z link away unless you had a higher trim. Then there was the deletes for Eco 6MT that kind of made no sense in the real world MPG.
t436 I dont understand the American Companys. Here in Europe almost all cars have 3rd headrest from the basic line.
truthfully you can barely see out the back window over the 2 that are still there. that may be the reason it left. My car is missing that center headrest and that arm rest as well.
Seriously thought this was Seth Rogen giving this review at first lol 😂
Yeah, the Walmart version of Seth lol
Still own it?
Yup- 3-1/2 years now, just over 32,000 miles. No problems at all- with the car itself. Been hit a few times in the parking lot, had a window busted out on my drive to work, but the car runs great!
pearsonba350 I just bought the same car in silver, 17,000 miles wanted to know how well it will last for me
Еsp, ebd no ?
I thought I went colorblind for a moment.
In my opinion, very big waste of money. It's a car. It's just as reliable as any 2000 dollar Honda, if not less reliable. I don't see why people buy new cars. Please let me know!
three little words- New Car Smell!!!
@@pearsonba350 lol
Nice review! I'm thinking of buying the Same car! R u married ??
I want silver 2lt
Cheap, overpriced slow car.
What would u recommend
