New car Wednesday
 
My Cutlass died about a month ago... I said screw it and bought new to replace it. 2012 Cruze 2LT RS, black on black. Nothing but good things to say.

I see these cars every day at work...they're really solid cars. Certainly better than the Cobalt it replaced. Best of luck with it!

Artful Dodger 02-26-2012 01:29 PM

The best of luck with the new car. It looks like a great one!

Congrats Kasey, enjoy the new ride!!

Frosty 02-26-2012 03:37 PM

Did GM throw in the optional booster seat so you can see over the steering wheel?

qwikz28 02-26-2012 03:46 PM

Congrats Kasey. This site is turning from Jeep to Cruze DD association

BonzoHansen 02-26-2012 05:37 PM

Anti_Rice_Guy 02-27-2012 08:37 AM

Congrats!

You clearly didn't test drive, the seat is not all the way forward and the steering wheel is normal height. :-P

Nice..i've been looking at them too. Want the 1.8/6spd manual basic one b/c i'm a cheap bastard and 42mpg is about 4x's what i get now...looked at them yesterday as a matter of fact. Good luck w/it. Its got the same type of dash as my wife's new equinox...for a small car 1 of the best interiors by far.

That black Cruze looks great. I went and test drove one about 2 weeks ago with a friend as they were looking to replace their S10 Blazer. It rides, stops great, and has a lot of room, comfortable to sit in. I was turned off by the lack of acceleration power by the 1.8 with the 6 speed auto. It seemed to want to run 4000-5000 rpms before shifting just to run with traffic. I didn't have high expectations with respect to power, I bet the 1.8 is a bit more fun in the Sonic. I hope the 1.4 turbo has a better powerband for the Cruze, it sounds like a nice setup. The 1.4 leaves more options on the table for an aftermarket tune in the future as well.

T69SS 02-27-2012 01:35 PM

Car looks great! Congrats

bandit88 02-27-2012 05:30 PM

Good Luck FIGET!

I love mine!

Frosty 02-27-2012 06:14 PM

Kasey, have you driven any GM car with the 6-speed auto yet? It's going to take some getting used to.

1320B4U 02-28-2012 08:33 AM

The whole 'drive by wire' thing on the 4cylinders are weird sometimes. (due to not a lot of torque..sometimes feel what appears to be a delay)..not so much on the 8's though.

i don't think that is the DBW doing that. I think it is the trans. I think.

i have almost 16k on my cruze and no real complaints. One just needs to understand that the car is NOT a sports car and will not perform like one. its not a civic si nor a wrx . i have one piece of loose interior trim and had to bring the car to the dealer for a tsb about a bad thermostat. i have 2 more years left on my lease and will turn it in only because i plan on buying a 2014 ATS-V.
