Chevrolet Cruze review | Consumer Reports

- The nicely-finished Chevy Cruze feels solid and substantial and is pleasant to drive. But it delivers lackluster fuel economy and the backseat is tight. Find more car reviews on our website: www.consumerrep...
I own a eco and I get 47mpg, I have had a tall friends in the back just fine, also I am 6,2" and this car sits me right unlike a lot of other cars of the same class that felt small.
38 MPG on the road is "mediocre" since when ? I think Consumer Reports is "owned" by Japan Inc.
Cry harder
The Cobalt was a substantial improvement to the Caviler and the Cruze is a substantial improvement to the Cobalt. GM is finally learning to make great small cars.
Is it true that it doesn't have cruise control? Odd how it's called 'cruze' with no cruise control?
I average 37mpg with my 1.4L Cruze. Pretty good I'd say.
would like to see how supple its suspension is on the cratered roads of my town.
I've driven the Cruze, it's a nice car, but its geared more towards young couples just starting a family...I like my lighter '12 Focus more. I'd have to agree with CR, its nice to drive, it feels substantial, but they are right about it's shortcomings. If it was lighter weight, it would be far more competitive.
The point is the cruze was designed and meant to be marketed to the younger generation who want a little more from a smaller car, and by more they mean not quite as bargain basement as years past. I test drove one, It was okay but not for me I was coming from a suzuki forenza which is a rebadged chevy/daewoo product. Qualitywise yes it was a step up but did not justify 23- 25000 dollars for me at 20 years old, and didnt hit my awd checkmark. The seats were fine but i felt confined in my position
The new civic has not even been tested yet. And you are disappointed? Manual mirrors? What? How much more would it have cost like a $1.00?
I thought this was a good review except in regard to the fuel mileage. I have an 2014 Eco trim with the 6 speed manual...and I get all around 39/40 in the summer and 37/38 in the winter. This is with highway driving at 70 mph. If you drive it smart, that doesn't mean hypermiling...you can get these numbers easy.
did anyone notice how dirty the engine was on the cruze ls. how is it dirty on a new car?
@TripleXXX8700
I just don't like how Honda didn't upgrade the engine output or switch to 6 speed transmissions. The Si is the biggest disappointment tho as they put the 2.4L engine from the TSX in it so its lost the 8000 rpm redline for just 4 more hp. I just feel like they played it too safe when they should have tried to keep the Civic class leading. It was in 06 but now the 2012 Focus is the new benchmark.
amazing review Jake. so unless you get the Eco, you cant get 40mpg. wow
id rather get the elantra
This is a great improvement over the recession made Cobalt. Had this been the cavaliers replacement Chevy would have been near the top of the class. However, Chevy once again is behind the pack. To me it locks like a jacked up Honda Accord. The Hyundai Elantra, Mazda 3, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, and even the Kia Forte seem like better buys.They are more efficient, either cheaper or about the same as the cruze, and are kind of peppy. GM is improving but they still need to do better!!!!
GM hypes pre-production cars way too early that by the time they are released they are already outclassed.
It's funny how people say CR is owned by Japanese companies. In reality, they go out, buy the cars like normal people, do thorough tests and tell it like it is. If something is good, they mention it, if something stands out in a wrong way, they mention it. They're unbiased, the same can't be said for the motormouths at car and driver.
Good Review, Its better than a Cobalt in every way, but the Focus and Elantra are the new benchmarks. I find the 2012 Civic to be a disappointment but I feel this car still does not beat it either. I'd say the Focus is 1st, followed by the Elantra, then Civic, and last for the Cruze in a comparo.
Actually, Consumer Reports changed its reviews since 2008 for the favor of European cars due to people whining about them favoring Japanese cars. In fact American cars are at the same level with the European cars in many aspects The Consumer Reports does not advertise the ownership cost as they should. When it comes to ownership cost a diesel is barely cheaper than a car that uses premium gas due to long term effects of gas and car price.
I agree. A Mazda3 would probably rank above it to, although I cannot stand the smiley face grille on the car now. Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, and possibly Kia Forte, are the only cars I can see the cruze topping in it's class.
@TomOzzy123 well this guys are engineers. they know what they saying. and he said that the cruze is plesant to drive and handles well. just bc he ddnt say much about the car you own, it doesnt mean they are fake and only praise the koreans and Japanese.
wow manual side miror???
I havent seen one for like 10 years!!!
Tell me about that annoying seat recline lever similar to the 2011 jetta's! :0 Why the hell do they make it so complicated?
tepeke88 yess lolll
@etoyotarockshsucks
You could always just get a lower trim without my ford touch, I think the system is a bit slow to respond as well and would wait a couple years as Ford perfects it. Like I said, I feel like the Focus is the new Honda Civic while the Elantra is the new Corolla. I would get the Hatch Focus anyways to avoid the after thought looking trunk, It looks better as a hatch and its soo much more practical. Plus that 250 hp ST thats coming soon will destroy the speed3 and GTI ;)
why the hell is the truck big and back seat tiny!?!!
I didn't see any "truck"
manual mirrors?!?! I got electric mirrors with a base 96 plymouth!
Apart from Road&Track, Car&Driver, MotorTrend, etc. (biased US publications) The whole world is in agreement that US cars are not that great to say the least (if not crappy in its majority). So either Consumer Reports is pretty unbiased and objective, or Japanese and SKoreans have bought the whole world (including thousands of automotive publications and the general public opinion). CR have driven all kinds of cars, maybe its you who needs another perspective other then Chevy, Ford and Chrysler
44 mpg on I 69 between Indianapolis and fort Wayne right now ...yup not possible
@crammage
The 2011 Corolla sucks. Its pretty much taken the place of the Cobalt as one of the worst compacts on the market. Toyota seems to be banking too much of their name to sell it. Its the only compact to still use a 4 speed auto, makes the least amount of power (132), gets only average gas mileage, isn't available with premium features, has lackluster handling, and has an interior quality that is reminiscent of the Cobalt.
actually cruze is korean based model from GM Daewoo.
Ya know, its funny how all the auto-journalist love the Cruze but then CR ccomes and all of a sudden hates it? Someone is a clear japan lover.....
Another load of crap from CR. If they are going to complain about weight and fuel ecnomy(others magazines have gotten much better) they should also mention that the Cruze is actually classified as a small mid-size sedan.
@xoquixxoqafxo corolla?
i thought this was a car that i cud buy but no way
@somewhatlongdong Oh really? Their review of the 2011 Jetta was a amateurish embarrassing joke. Hilarious they can harp on that car but sing praise for the Cruze. Where's the outrage over it's "compromised handling"? The Cruze doesn't hold a candle to the handing of the 2011 Jetta, and it certainly doesn't look or come as sophisticatedly equipped. Where's the DSG? The diesel? The performance variant with a turbo direct injection 4 (GLI)? CR's selective outrage is so transparent it's unbelievable
This car is a lemon car now. FYI
this car is literally a piece of shit!!! we have a 2011 cruz ltz. its a beautiful looking car. its why people are drawn to it. the internals are garbage! we have had soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many problems with this car. and we only have 69,000 miles on it. fuel efficiency is garbage also.
It's still a GM car even though its from GM Daewoo
junk
Hunk of shit. I'd love to buy American but can't. My dollat has to be streched so... see ya domestic rides.
