Best Macho machine.

 

Exterior Unmatched MACHO machine in this price band. Only lack turn indicator in the ORVMs. when I first look at the car I simply fall in love of it. Head lamp is not so powerfull, it need a lot of concentration when cruising at high speed during night driving. A HID head lap is required for this type of high powered car. But I love its look.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior HUMMMMMMMMM. Missing alot of good feeling, poor plastics, roof edges at rear window feel rough. Roof fab get dirty very fast. Feature wise it is rich, good climate control, responsive and wise auto mode. Sun/moon roof is at par with high end cars,steering controls are very use ful. Back space are good for even tall man, only driver always brushed his left knee with the dashboard console.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox OHHHHH amasing power, it unlashed only you get beyond 1800/2000 rpm, :( below this rpm it is pathetic to drive. In city driveing it is better to drive in low gear other wise you feel  very heavy to move this car.Fuel economy it is around 13 Kmpl in over all count :) good for this type of 150 BHP engine. Gear knob feel the vibration from engine, it prove that it do not use drive-by-wire technology :(.  One most important thing that I observed, the oil burner emits lots of black smoke at low rpm/on start rolling, I have discussed it with service enginewers, they failed to satisfy me. I would like to discuss the issue with other CRUZE owner. It has discussed about the NVH as low butin my opinion even at all the windoows are rolled up you still feel the diesel engine under the hood, GM should have done a little better.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good Hndling at all speed(touched only 140Kmph only), brakes are very good till this speed. But the bad strory is about the very heavy steering wheel, feels like car without power assist :( :( :(, this makes to feel poor response at city driving condition. Suspension is good, but this car do better with Michielon or similler softer grade tyres.

 

Final Words Best car in this price tags, no comparison.

 

Areas of improvement Interior need to improve to reach good feel factor, noise and damping should be re-engineered.

 

Good Power, good style, best package at best pricePoor plastics, interior need to improve a lot
