2012 Chevrolet Cruze - It's not a Toyota.

When I went in to buy a used car, I specifically told the salesman I was interested in a Toyota or a Nissan, as I had previously owned a Corolla and had found it very reliable. The salesman told me the Cruze was "Chevy's answer to the Corolla" and that the two cars were comparable. I liked my test drive, and the price and financing worked for me, so I bought the Cruze.

Story

The appearance of the car is the opposite of unique. If in a parking lot, there are dozens of other cars, of both foreign and domestic make, that look almost identical. So I have tried to get into the wrong car more than once!

Pros

The Cruze has a lot of modern interior features that were new to me, such as Bluetooth syncing with my phone. I like the electronic monitoring system, where I can see things like tire and oil pressure from inside the car, and get warnings when tire pressure is low, etc. The car gets pretty good mileage. There have been times when there was something wrong, such as hard starts. Then, weirdly, they seemed to correct themselves -- after a week or so, the problem just went away. The heater is very good.

The power is not as great as the Corolla. Sometimes there is a little hesitation when accelerating. The electronics are great, but it means more things to go wrong. Some of the electronics are part of an "array," which means if one thing goes wrong, you have to buy a replacement part that contains multiple components rather than just fixing a single component. The trunk does not have an independent lock. It is part of the general electronic locking system. These creates 2 problems: 1) If you valet park, you can't leave valuables locked in the trunk where the valet does not have access to t... (more)

2011 Chevrolet Cruze - Reliable, stylish, affordable

I really like the color (metallic black) and the interior (black and grey), it's very stylish and nice looking. It feels good to drive, very smooth ride, good handling and suspension. I get pretty good MPG which is always a plus.

Pros

Look, feel, handling, suspension, and great gas mileage are my favorite features.

Cons

I'm not a big fan of the manual option since I've accidentally gone into manual without realizing it, that could have been a major problem if I hadn't realized it as soon as I did.
