The feel of the car is nice, even though it may be considered a lower-end vehicle, it doesn't feel that way. The radio set up is nice; the interior feels like it's good quality. I also enjoy that it gets good gas mileage, and despite having it for a bit, the oil life has remained well into the year. We live in the Midwest, and prior to this car, had an SUV with AWD. I was concerned with how the car would perform in the snow and cold, but I was pleasantly surprised with how nice and easy it was to drive through the weather. I also like that the car's engine will come to stop when we are at stoplight, cutting down on carbon emissions. The outside of the car is also nice. I don't feel embarrassed by the look of the car, and it looks in keeping with the modernization of the exterior of cars that I've been seeing lately. I thought the vehicle might be too small for my family, but it's fits all my son's sports gear in the trunk. It's roomy enough to take our dog on trips. The one thing I would say that I don't like about the car is the backseats don't seem to be as comfortable. The way the back is set up. It feels too straight up and a little uncomfortable. I also feel like the middle console and glove compartment could've been a bit roomier.

I like this vehicle because it is so easy to handle. I was looking for a replacement for my Chevy Cobalt, which I was very happy with, so it was natural to turn to the Cobalt's successor. While I don't like the Cruze quite as much as my Cobalt, it definitely handles well. The seats are comfortable, it's well laid-out, and the speedometer is extremely easy to read in the digital format.
