Please don’t buy Chevrolet company car’s, Their cars are stuffed with cheap spare and dump cheap parts in India and cheat people and even there service provider take advantage of cheap spare and looting in all angle possible.
Please read my review before you decide to buy.
I, SHASHI KUMAR. D, owner of an Chevrolet Cruze (LT model) with Vehicle no. KAO5-XX-XXXX, I bought this car from Kropex India Limited dealer at Bangalore India,
As on 09/04/2015, miles on my car is 36440 KM, From past few months I'm facing problem with the clutch pedal, hardness while pressing clutch pedal during gear change, so I left my car for the repair of the same along with my periodic service (37500 KM Service) and front glass replacement on 09/04/2015 as usual at Kropex India Limited service center, Bangalore, India, I told the concerned service person about the problem and he told he will call next day as per that he called me on 11/04/2015, told me that the car's clutch assembly has worn out and needs to be replaced along with flying wheel.
Already my car clutch assembly was replaced at 25050 KM mile last 13/09/2013 at the same service center by paying around Rs. 48000, due to some mechanical problem and was not able to change gear and was told by the service person that the entire clutch assembly worn out at that time.
Again now for the second time at 36440 KM mile the service person have told to replace the clutch with flying wheel. what logic it makes them to replace the clutch with flying wheel after driving just 11500 KM for merely for hardness of clutch pedal during driving and nothing else, when asked over phone the reason, the service person have no answer for the same and he told that its out of warranty, who asked them to replace against warranty?
If that is the thing, the customer like me has to replace clutch with flying wheel for every 10,000 KM, Is there any logic in it?
If there is really a problem in clutch, they may have replaced with defective one last time, how do we know they have replaced with right one OR the company spare is of cheap quality and cheating customer like us?
For no valid reason, why should I bear the cost again for second time for just 11500 KM driven by me.
I have other cars such as Toyota Fortuner, Mahindra XUV 500, Mahindra Scorpio and none of them have given me this type of problem till date.
The Kropex India ltd Customer relationship manager forced me to approve to go ahead with paid replacement of clutch assembly, I have strictly rejected to go ahead and also informed her till it is resolved I won’t take back my vehicle from Service center, she coolly replied that they will pack the car and deliver to my address and I resisted her words and she told they will charge parking fee daily till delivered. By this way they are threatening me.
I even complained this to GM customer care @ gmi.cac@gm.com, but no response from them regarding this.
I'm really disappointment with this kind of service by their company service center and had a bad experience with the GM Company and thier service provider KROPEX INDIA LIMITED, BANGALORE.
We must alert prospective car buyers to stay away from GM company cars and service providers. I am already into alerting all my friends, relatives, clients including my own family members.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the only redeeming factor for the Cruze, the performance is really solid. The car never let me down on the highway. Apart from the turbo lag there's nothing much to complain about in this regard. Everything from the steering to the slick gearbox everything is pretty good. We had an issue with the clutch which was too stiff to drive, to the point that your leg would be pretty sore if you ever got stuck in city traffic. After getting it replaced, it went away and is now like any other car.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling though nothing like those coming out of the volkswagen stables, is still pretty decent. The suspension cushion any mild bumps. The back seat is not as comfortable as the corolla but is still decent enough for an avg sized person.
Final Words Despite loving the car so much while driving it, at the end of the day it has been quite a pain in the ass. We had had to take the car over to the service center for too many unscheduled visits. At the beginning it was the nagging problem of the tight clutch, then there was air con problem. After about 60k kms, something in the fuel injector gave away and the car lost power altogether. Then we had an issue with some hose in the turbo charger. At 80k we replaced the starter motor. At 86k the interiors have quite worn down. The rubber has started coming off the steering wheel for example. These are just a summary of the problems I faced, if I had more time I could come up with maybe ten more of such issues. The service quality has also been quite a let down even after having close ties with the manager of the local service center.
