The Chevy Cruze 2012 Edition with luxury trim makes you feel like you own a much more expensive car than what you bought it for when you sink in to the heated leather seats in the winter time. It has quite a bit of get-up-and-go for a sedan. It makes you feel like you can keep up with those “real” sports cars. Whether or not you can, I wouldn’t know, I try to avoid speeding tickets. With the luxury trim you have the options of hands free Bluetooth compatibility, OnStar, and Sirius XM radio. The sound quality of the previous three options are exceptional for price of the vehicle. A great feature of the Cruze is the standard/automatic shifting, if you need to get up to speed on an onramp quickly push it into manual shifting and I you’ll get to the speed limit before you know it. If you’re just cruising around town or on a country road, keep it in automatic and utilize your cruise control feature, which works in both standard and automatic shifting. Overall it’s a 5 star car for the pricing!

The Chevrolet Cruze is a great little family sedan. It's basic, but sufficient. Small, but accommodating. This car will get you where you need to go reliably but comfortably. I really like that the Cruze has so many safety features, such as side curtain air bags, OnStar emergency services and high crash test ratings. Also, the ride is quite smooth and quiet for being a family sedan. As someone who spends a lot of time around a lot of noise for most of the day, it's nice to cruise home from work in my Cruze in a silent and comfortable environment. I've driven this car over 85k miles now and it's still running just as well as the day I bought it!

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.
