Dont worry, No i didnt get rid of anything and this is only a lease. I needed something to be a nice little fuel efficient daily driver...

2011 Chevrolet Cruze LT, 1.4L turbo engine, 6 speed auto trans, all power options, cruise control, steering wheel controls, remote start, bluetooth, USB, etc...

its size is larger than a civic which is its main competition.
I was considering a civic as well, but now side by side, the choice would have been easy..

Its actually a fun car to drive, and feels a lot like driving my old Saturn SKY, just with less HP. Steering wheel is small and response is quick with the power assist. More room in the front seats than my SKY, Back seats arent bad, but if i would give adults a ride, id have to move my seat forward from my normal driving position.

Im gonna install some type of foglights eventually and do full tints.

now if i can only find a Holden Cruze front bumper...

This is old news, I saw it on FB yesterday! j/k Nice car, did you drive a Civic before you got that?

Wouldn't doing mods effect the lease though Paul?

nah the civic is my friends. His car doesnt even have power door locks.

and JW... details, minor details, hehe... i put my SKY back to stock in 4 hours when i traded it in on the V... that had hids, intercooler, Full aluminum intercooler piping, intake, full radio setup, and catback exhaust.

but like i said only mods would be fogs, which i can even get the GM kit(lights and bezel inserts) for around 150, and tints wouldnt be an issue at turn in.
If i get a bumper, that would just be a matter of swapping back out and would easily be able to resell.

reason for the bumper is then i can run a different grille, either the holden or ones like these...

That white one is sick! I was wondering about the Civic because mine is a slug and was wondering how the Cruze compared to it. I know they are not meant to be fast but I would like to be able to merge onto a highway without worrying for my life!!

Nice! They just dropped one off at my house yesterday. Mine is an LTZ, and so far I like it. Very sporty, much more then I thought.
IMO, the Malibu is the worst car GM sells right now, and thats not a terrible thing.

Nothing wrong with something economical to get around in when not driving a 400+HP car. Enjoy!

hmmmm...... opinions... there are also some less aggressive versions...


and yes yes yes.... i know its just a lease, BUT anything i put on will be able to come off and be resold.
I'm SURE there will be a kid in 3 years with one of these that would LOVE to have a body kit.

Very nice! The only think I don't like is the antenna on the roof. Makes it look like a remote-controlled car, lol.

It's amazing how those tail lights totally change the appearance of the back end. They look like they came off a Mercedes.
