Nickey4271647545519 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Is it me or does it seem to be somewhat based on the defunct saturn aura? maybe my eyes are going bad on me. Looks are alright though not my favorite. Looks like it'd be a pretty fun daily driver to me. I'd rock it. I give it a nice solid "B" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Especially knowing my MS3 GT only cost me $23k. 1.x liter turbo? That's like bragging about a 4" Dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 No. Especially knowing my MS3 GT only cost me $23k. 1.x liter turbo? That's like bragging about a 4" Dick. I don't think performance is the point of the turbo here. You're going to start seeing more and more small displacement turbocharged engines in the future. The idea is that you get small displacement mileage, with enough "oomph" to merge into highway traffic. OP: It's interesting. If I wasn't so opposed to FWD, I'd consider giving it a test drive. But that's only because I have fun cars to play with. If it were my only car, I wouldn't look twice at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Why can't they just release the cavalier again with a push rod engine. Mine is on 198K miles and still runs strong... relatively speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWill Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I drive 240-270 miles a day and still would not think about that. Then again my company pays for gas so I might look for an H1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbos aren't a free ticket to an awesome car. ?? you really think it's that bad? The Cruze is a decent size car (bigger than the Cobalt), it has a pretty decent interior, doesn't look half-bad, gets the top crash safety ratings, and gets 40 mpg. What other car this size gets 40 mpg and what does it cost. Would I consider a Cruze Eco as a daily? Sure. I'd be more apt to step up to the RS model, but if I found the seats comfortable I would definitely consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I also applaud this vehicle, glad we are getting some "Euro Thinking" Vehicles over here finally. But won't be happy until I see some nice diesel sedans. Livable Car, 40mpg = WIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this, plus take it and get it tuned, and I'll bet it would run pretty damn good and still get 40 mpg highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more apt to step up to the RS model, but if I found the seats comfortable I would definitely consider it. I never said it was bad, but people were getting rock hard because it has a stock turbo. That car doesn't have a turbo because it is mad tyte fast and furious. It has one for efficiency and to add some power. Econoboxes make use of turbos for a different reason. My comment revolves around people think turbos make any car fast, I never said there was anything wrong with the cruze. I think the Cruze and the new Fiesta are great. Like jones said, its about damn time we got some european economy cars over here.
