sounds like the gear ratios suck a lot of the fun out of it. I would also imagine the low rolling resistance tires arent the greatest grip wise.

Still its the only car in its class with a turbo, and 138/148 and 40+MPG is pretty damn good for 1.4L engine.

That's what he's averaging, city/highway. It's actually advertised to be better than that.

Tell me about it. Last time I took my 4x4 out, it cost over $200 in fuel for the weekend and I was barely out of the GVRD.

as for the focus, I actually looked at the fiesta first, but ford wasn't willing to work with me on the finance end of things.

I got into the cruze worth 4k more than the fiesta I was looking at with no problems at GM for their advertised rate with no money down. Ford wanted either 3600 down, co signer or 4% higher interest rate over an extra year :S
so the Focus would have been out of the picture even if I liked it.

go GM for the financing division anyways.


the 6.5L i posted was just my average, but the sea to sky highway has hills, and I live at the top of a large hill (think royal oak then give it switch backs) plus I drive harder than your average bear. the actual posted numbers for this car are 4.6L/100 highway. which is about what i got once I hit west van, and again from the tunnel all the way out to surrey

why not? its one of the safest compact cars on the market. 5 star crash ratings and 10 airbags make it pretty good in my book.

im not sure what you drive but im willing to be its a lot less safe then a cruze.

This car has the most airbags I have ever seen on a car. Chevy had the Cruze on display in Whistler over the long weekend with the airbags deployed. I couldn't even see the inside of the car with all those pillows in the way.

The Cruze is much roomier and safer than a shitbox 318i (there, I said it)

For those calling the Cruze an appliance, WTF did you think this was? A fake-luxury sports car? The Cruze will walk all over an Sentra, Corolla and even the Civic in terms of fit and finish, seating comfort (I was surprised by how comfy the seats are on the base 1.8 Cruze), and fuel economy.

Did you consider the new Focus as well?

I'm thinking of getting rid of my Impreza and Mazda 6 for a Cruze hatchback (when it comes out) or a Focus SEL hatchback.

I was driving behind a new cruze yesterday and noticed the crazy watts link hanging off the rear suspension. I've never seen that on a torsion beam before. Apparently the UK cruzes don't get it.
