Quick Review Of The New 2011 Chevy Cruze - 9-20-2010

This particular one is the 1.4 liter turbo. For those who liked the Cobalt or found the Cobalt to be a disappointment, this one is worth looking at. I was not able to test drive it as I was out looking for work; I was only stopping by to check it out. But just looking at the interior alone show some of the flaws that were addressed with the Cobalt. Another thing you will like about the Cruze is that it does not reuse any of the Saturn parts, which is why it will handle better and ride better. . I know the sound is choppy, I don't know why, but my camera is probably ready to give up the ghost; this may be the last video I make for a while.

hey wats the meaning of ecotec???

[suburbanator91]

@hoddie100, Emissions Control Optimisation TEChnology (ECOTEC). they are also the succesors of the GM Quad 4 [later called the Twin Cam in '95]. The Cobalts had the Family II ECOTECS, I believe these are the Family I ECOTECS in the Cruze.

would this be a good first car?

[suburbanator91]

@Anton4223, yes, more standard safety features & features in general than Civic or Corolla. Also has 5yr/ 100K warranty on the powertrian. From what I was tols, starting in the GM 2011 model year at the time of new car purchase depending on what you are willing to pay you can extend you bumper to bumper warranty to 5yr/ 100K also. In the past you could only extend it to 5yr/ 75K. As far as pricing goes it is a good bang for your buck. To know more ask you salesman @ you local GM dealer.

Can U get a manual in one of these? and GM needs to bring out a SS model in one of these.

[suburbanator91]

@01imprezawrx, yes, there is a 6 speed manual, but they have manual mode on the 6 spd automatics; you can get the control of a manual trannt w/o the BS you gt w/ a manual. The manual is not even for sale yet. In answer to yuor other question, there is no SS oe atl least not yet, but there is an RS package.

When did Jonah Hill start reviewing cars.

[Shirley1987888]

@Anton4223 Would be a great first car. Make sure you buy it with warranty though.

@z24supercharged dude. the cobalt and cavalier failed for a reason. they had no build quality and offered literally nothing competitive to honda or toyota other than a little sport, cobalt SS being the only one worth mentioning at all. this car competes with the best compacts and arguably beats them in every aspect. build-quality and features being the most important and what it excels in. plus there's obviously room to add a twin turbo and cold air intake, which is what i'm doing. great car
