2016 Chevrolet Cruze Quick Drive | Consumer Reports 

I just bought this with all the bells and whistles .. it is a 2016 with only 11,000 miles it still has the new smell in it.. I love it .. fits in my budget and had in it everything I wanted in a car and with a sunroof . It drives like a dream!!!

The Cavalier was not lousy at all. I have had several and they were all reliable. Mine are of the 1995-2005 generation. All of mine had the old 2.2 overhead valve engine...some with three speed auto and some with the four speed auto. I got over 215k on the 2000 with original engine and three speed auto.

I had the exact same Cruze as a rental (2017) even in the same colour, for about a month when my last car was totalled in an accident, and I really liked it, it was peppy, comfortable, features were nice, I'm a pretty aggressive driver but I average 38.9 mpg and that's with city and highway driving. On just highway driving I averaged over 40 mpg. If I was in the market for a compact sedan I'd choose between this and an Elantra.

Before I bought my 2014 Cruze, I was looking for a Cadillac CTS Or a BMW m3 but the body of the Cruze had everything I wanted. Not just that the prize was way low, I modified my car to the way I wanted it and couldn’t be happier. BUT taking a look at what Chevy has done to the new Cruze I find it very disappointing.

A cruise hatchback diesel, you have my attention

What part of Connecticut is that in

Ima Toyota/Lex guy but the cruise has come along way, the quality is a bit better than the cobalt which desperately needed to be replaced lol I know someone with the cruise that loves it, hopefully the diesel is as good quality although this thing is hideous and so is the Malibu

didn't this video already get uploaded like 4 months ago?

i just had a 2017 Cruze for rental, good car overall, but the build quality is appalling. the car has less than 5000 km, and headliner around where the sunroof is has already started to "peel". few trim pieces have big gaps between them, and the piece of plastic that is holding the windshield (driver side) to the car has already came off.

Same MPG average I get in a 10 year old Monte Carlo. What's with that?

I never considered the Cobalt "lousy"

Where's the diesel version? That's the only reason to get this car.

This guy always looks like he is in some sort of pain...WHY!!!

$23K+ ??

At least the steering wheel didn't fall off.

It really could use the 2.0 turbo.

Good car

watch where you are driving. .... lol

Chevy needs to do better than that.

the pedestrian saftey shit forced into the hood of new cars makes them look ugly as fuck

The rear looks like a typical rental Chevy. Bland and anonymous. The dash center stack looks horrifically cheap on trims with the smaller screen with that giant, cheap spray painted silver plastic surround. Otherwise it looks like a nice car.

Had one of these as a rental. Never driven a worse car. That little 1.4 litre engine has no acceleration with lots of turbo lag.

Dear car customers around the world: I bought a brand new Chevy Cruze, manual transmission, on December 10, 2016. One day after (December 11, 2016), while the car was parked at the curb, it rolled down the road hitting another car on its way down. I am sure that I had engaged the parking brake, indicated by the “!” symbol displayed in red on the instrument panel. I’ve been raising to General Motors Corporation (GMC) this question - why is it that the said Cruze, in neutral transmission, rolled down the slope even though the parking brake symbol, “!” (in red color), is displayed on the car’s instrument panel? The GMC explained that: “by design intent, the parking brake warning lamp on the instrument panel (!) will illuminate with the brake lever is raised to the first detent position (first audible click). However, this warning is not an indicator that the parking brake has been fully engaged. Specifically, the Chevrolet Cruze Owner’s Manual Instructs the owner to pull firmly (on the lever) without pressing the release button, in order to engaged the parking brake correctly. The primary purpose of illuminating the park brake warning lamp, even when the parking brake is not fully engaged, is to prevent the operator from driving the vehicle with parking brakes partially engaged.” (letter sent to me by GMC dated April 11, 2017). I disagree with the above explanation by GMC. I maintain that a technical deficiency persists between the engagement of parking brakes with respect to the warning light (!). The Cruze Owner’s Manual does not state anything related to partially-engaged and fully-engaged parking brakes with same warning light (!) displayed on the instrument panel. I am submitting GMC’s explanation, as quoted above, for your views and comments. Thank you and drive safely.

Unfortunately for Chevy, Honda made a new standard for the class, the new civic.

Who would buy this when the bullet-proof Honda Civic is at the same price point?

It still shocks me that people still buy the Cruze, Aveo or even a Malibu...blows my mind. Having them as a rental is already a bummer, i can't imagine owning one.

Don't ever buy GM. Various mechanical pieces are likely to break when you hit around 40000 miles. And that is the point beyond the bumper to bumper warranty. Terrible resale value. Research on the interenet. Also if you are in the market for a new car, don't watch reviews like these on youtube. They just review what can be seen with the eyes like the quality of the plastic in the interior. Most of the things in a car that matter in a car like mechanical reliability and trustworthiness of a brand cannot be seen with eyes and are not touched on by these poor youtube reviewers. Go to sites like consumeraffairs or car complaints to assess the long term reliability of a car. Watch youtube reviews only to pass the time. Don't make a decision based on these. You're going to regret it.

chevys are so ugly and boring yawwnn
