      Fantastic car

      by Aaron on 4/16/2026 12:08:41 AM

      No issues at all with this car. It’s the last sedan Chevy made, and the best looking of the model throughout all years. Drives well and is very reliable.

      Great little car, Amazing MPG

      by Paul W on 2/24/2026 5:50:57 PM

      This little Cruze has been great, 6 speed manual delivers unbelievable fuel mileage and great performance from the gas turbo 4. Very comfortable and back seat has room as well. No problems in the time Ive owned it, about 4 years - bought it with 99K on it. 40MPG in town and always 50 on the highway often closer to 60! and that is at 75mph and AC on! We've driven it down to the bottom of Texas, out to Maryland, up to Niagra Falls and out west to Utah and Wyoming on various trips. You can easily go 500 miles between fill ups. More if you're keeping the speed down. Basic little car that delivers very well

      8 years and going strong

      by Jesslynn on 12/30/2025 1:10:41 AM

      I’ve had this car since 2017, bought brand new, and it’s at around 160k miles now. Other than some exterior damage (being hit by a hail storm and then a deer) the only other issue I’ve had is with the turbo. Apparently it’s a common problem with the Cruze because both my cousin and uncle had the same issue with theirs where the turbo needs to be replaced because it’s causing the check engine light to stay on and it’s also resulting in a lot less power to the car. My only other complaints that I’ve had with this car is that the cabin is extremely noisy. It constantly sounds like the windows aren’t closed tightly/ it sounds like there’s wind coming in through the windows, it sits very low so I have to be careful getting in to not bump my head, and it doesn’t drive great in the snow due to how low the car is to the ground and the front bumper also tends to get caught on things easily because of the piece that hangs down low underneath it. All in all though It’s been a great car, rides pretty smooth and the gas mileage is awesome! I’ve gone on many roadtrips and never been worried about breaking down. Chevy also has a roadside assistance included just in case (I used it with my sonic but never had to with my cruze)
