Cruise on a Cruze

Exterior The car looks great and which is the prime reason that it is a runaway hit. Lamps are not powerful and don't match the lighting of its contemporaries.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Little uncomfortable initially for the driver. Got used to it after adding some cushioning the seat a little.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is great. Fuel economy reasonably good for its class.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is smooth and too tempting on an empty highway. Steady even at 120 Kmph speed.

Final Words A great buy and true value for money. I contemplated Corolla Altis, Honda Civic and Skoda Laura (all petrol variants) before buying Cruze. Cruze is way ahead of others if we consider the advantages notwithstanding the fact that it is a diesel variant. The pick up is sluggish nevertheles which GM has taken care in the recent 2012 version be enhancing the power.

Areas of improvement Approach of dealer is awful. I was earlier owning Chevrolet Aveo for five years. I was considering options other than GM before purchasing Cruze olnly because of the callous attitude of the GM dealer at Ahmedabad (Gallops motors). They need to learn to value the time of customers when they come for servicing. Even small jobs take hours together (if you are not fortulate even it could take days together) to fix small issues.
