The Cruze seems to be a new fad among young working professionals. I know a few different people who have purchased one within the last 3-4 years. I definitely like this car a lot, though it could be a little bigger. A couple of my friends complain about not having enough leg room in the backseat, but they are pretty tall. The trunk space is nice, and the fuel efficiency is good.

Overall the Cruze is a very average car. Not much to complain about but not much to praise either. Originally purchased to be my wife's car, but finances made us a single car household. Cruze gets good gas mileage, has a nice dash interface and media package. The car feels cramped inside. The trunk, while large for its class, is limited by the supports for the trunk hatch and body frame. For me the car is slow to accelerate, hard to merge on quick. After the birth of our daughter the car has become a hassle, hard to fit a car seat in and a hassle for family travel, would not have purchased if we had planned ahead for that.
