Back to (according to some posters GM hating).....the subject, GM Cruze.
All Motor Trend Quotes;
Pros
"The Chevy Cruze is nicely styled inside and out. Interior colors and tirm at top notch for this class of car".
"The Cruze has a very European feel to the chassis with a taut ride and firm steering"
Cons
"The 1.4 liter turbo engine is only adequate, not impressive in any way, and the six speed automatic was clunky and slow to respond at times"
"Engine doesn't feel like it's turbocharged, I had to pop the hood to double check"
"as tested price (LTZ) of $26,310 (U.S. dollars). this almost negated all of the Cruze's positive points gleaned from our driving impressions."
"Most of us thought this vehicle came under $20 grand, and while it does start at $16,995, the price when optioned takes away much of the luster"
Once again, this car, although an improvement over the Cobalt, it is still not good enough to compete with established Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota, and the new players from Hyundai and Kia. Just the facts, no hating.
