I've been very happy with this purchase because the car has been reliable. It is also stylish in appearance and affordable. The gas mileage is great and easy on the bank. I trust Chevrolet as a company and have been happy with their servicing of my car.

Chevy Cruze makes cavalier exit
As my old Pontiac Grand Am was on its last legs, and I like GM products, I set out to compare a number of offerings. The Cruze took my attention straight away. It was sparkling white, with a black leather interior and there's nothing like the smell of new car leather. It proved to be quiet and agile during the test drive and had all of the "bells and whistles" I wanted in a new car. The fuel mileage was attractive, the interior roomy and the trunk more than adequate for my needs. It also had a great rebate and the dealer offered me a decent trade-in value for my old car. The only problem was the financing. The dealer's representative said the car didn't qualify for GMAC-type programs and that they would have to use an outside bank. Also, mysteriously, I needed to buy "gap insurance" as the banks wouldn't finance the whole amount, even though I was providing more than a 20% down payment. When they told me they were actually using my bank, I just went to my branch and they financed the car without the gap insurance and at a much lower interest rate. Then, a couple months later, I learned that the Cruze was being discontinued. While I'm generally happy with my car, I would've bought the Camaro, instead, if I had known.

Unexpected surprises
I liked the appearance of the car. I liked the fire engine red color of it. I did not like the fact that my cigarette lighter was a constant problem the entire five years I had the car. Because of this, I could not charge my cell phone in there a lot of the time.
