Effortless Cruising !

Hey folks !

Yes, it was my dream to drive my own D segment car before I die. Yes, it got fulfilled on 11th Jan when I bought this white Ltz to my garage. Yes, I am not regretting my decision of opting Cruze over Laura as its a superb machine in its class.

Guys don't get confused about my age, its too young for me to die so fast (28yrs) but yes, with all zoo animals resting in no mans land, villager's resting area's at the road and the new comers with no driving sense made me finicky about my age !

I am taking about our highways which I can't neglect for the sake of roti, kapdaa and makaan only thing I can do is keep changing my dream....which is now shifted to a 6 Airbag car.

Well coming to the subject....I would like to term one word for this car as "effortless cruising". I came to know about what refinement actually means was after the TD of 850 KM in 2 days.

Engine: Should be the USP to sell this car...best and committed to deliver the power and refinement to its epitome level. This car feels the same to drive on both the levels of 180 or 120 KM/hr - no let downs in this sector for sure. Smooth cursing at all gears and speed made me fall in love with it at the highways. (Have heard Turbo lag etc etc, Yes it is there but let me tell you honestly I am not feeling any such thing after driving it more then 2k in 12 days.

Interiors: Yes, It is not up to the mark to value attached, plastic not only feel cheap but they are cheap though seats looks fine and the over interior with lights and buttons makes it look pleasant. Though you will not like it love at first sight but Yes, It would look good when you will have to search the dirt marks on grey which outspokes on Beige. The overall cockpit feel give us the required enthu and zeal to drive this car more passionately.

Features: This is one sector which she scores openly, loaded with almost everything u expect in ur car it sometime makes u lazy to earn as what else you would buy in ur next car ? The sunroof and Auto AC is of highest quality, cruise control is fun to use and the screen with stereo and other info is very useful. The screen behaves like an iPod while playing CD's where u can jump on to any song with search and other useful options.

Overall Appeal: It seems to be a promising buy after so much of research on Skoda India through Carwale and other reviews, as of now I guess it will be a fun to keep this car in my garage for the next 2 years !

Verdict: Like others i too was worried about the future of GM in India and the life cycle of Cruze. I took the calculated risk as I could not see shelf space of more then 3 years of any model in India now.

(Hope I have not acted as a sales man of GM as its my longest post ever on Carwale so far.)
