BEST GM CAR YET

Best GM car yet ? yes possibly . The cruze has been one of the most important launches of this year & is very important for GM india's fortunes . On the looks front though it is job done , it looks fantastic with its massive split grille with a huge chevy logo means it would get you noticed everywhere , the whole car is aggressively designed but the rear styling which looks similar to the civic is dissapointing. The insides of the cruze are fantstic with its modern , futuristic style , the blue lights , the dials are all stunning .However the LTZ version has features like climate control, keyless entry & start , sunroof . Its rivals like the laura & jetta don't have these . 

Comfort wise the front seats are very good , but the rear is dissapointing , the headroom due to the coupe like design is limited plus legroom is not good either, the laura beats the cruze in this department .

The cruze has stunning performance as well , with its 148 bhp engine its more than the 104 bhp laura 1.9 tdi engine , but it suffers from severe turbo lag which means you have to downshift a lot & the engine will take time to spool up , hear the laura with its less turbo lag wins ahead but in the highway the cruze clearly wins due to its bhp advantage. The mileage is about 10-12 . In the city though you will notice the stiff clutch which means driving in stop go traffic is difficult .

Overall the cruze LTZ variant at 14.5 lakh ( the variant to buy )is cheaper than rivals like jetta , laura but has more features , it looks amazing as well , in few months the cruze automatic & petrol engine will make it a winner in its segment.
