For this to be a not-so-big car it packs a bit of a punch! It rides really smooth. It sounds like a racecar when you first take off (loud exhaust like a muscle car), but is very quiet when sitting still. It is fully loaded. From leather heated seats to remote start, satellite, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Chevrolet Cruze is a good choice for an affordable first car. If you are in the market for a new small sedan, you should consider this vehicle. If you can, chose the upgraded engine and the navigational system. The convenience will be worth the initial cost. GM has done several recalls lately, but to my knowledge there are no current ones for this car.
