Average car

Good things that could be say about the car is the engine power,seating position and driving ability and the areas of improvement lies in the suspension system that is too hard

902

Not bad

We cant say a word about its stylish cues that tend to attract everybody.Also the engine,gearsystem are good,but the same cannot be felt with the handling of the power steering that is not so comfort to control.Also the comfortness legspace is not spacious enough to stretch that would most probably hit the dashboard

Not a worthy bike

Hi everybody, I recently purchased the new Chevrolet Cruze and very disappointed with the vehicle. I found best features such as outward visibility, rain snow traction, active safety, headlight, parking aids etc. But fuel efficiency and acceleration is really worst in this vehicle. So I request everybody not to purchase this car and it is really a waste of money.

Chevrolet Cruze Review

I am very eager to share view about the redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Cruze. Actually the new car is good with its standard turbocharged engine with good mileage, spacious cabin with exciting features. The main drawback is that it has no additional engine choices and no cruise control on L or LS variant.
