The wife bought a Cruze today!

Daryl Z71 · January 3, 2012

Well she's pretty much my wife, will be in less than a year. Anyhow we went down this morning to the Dealer where I bought my truck, and they had two that she liked. I didn't get any Pictures yet since we just got home, but I do have some from the Dealers Website.

Congrats....nice looking car for a little econobox.

Did you buy the extended warranty?

Nice little car.

Daryl Z71 · January 3, 2012

Na I never go for those. I've heard to many bad stories about those, plus I know how to fix things if they break, and I have no problem buying the parts. In my experience the GM vehicles I've been around and owned have never had any serious problems out of warranty anyhow.

Congrats! They seem like a really nice car.

Browsing the Cruze forums tells a diferent story. Lots of issues. But, it's certainly an improvement over the Cobalt or Aveo.

Well the 09 Subaru Legacy she had wasn't a great car so I'm not real worried.

If you go to any forum, you will find a lot of issues.

I feel like I'm feeding a troll here (your user name makes me think so) but any first year car is going to have issues. Any brand too.

2012 Cruze has improvements over the first year, for sure. Especially the transmission shift quality issues. GM changed and revamped and added many parts to the 6T40 to make it much better than before.

They've really figured out how to make a small car feel big inside and out. Except they still feel small at the gas station, which is the best part.

The Cruze is only in it's first year here in the US.

Second model year. 2011 was the launch year and now 2012 has been out for some months now. Also, its been globaly out since I believe 2009-2010. There are differences.

Yes they have. Im 6 foot 3 with long legs, and it has alot of room for me. I really like how I can put the seat back far enough so my legs arent crammed up and knees are off of the dash, but I can still move the steering wheel back, and be able to drive comfortable.

It's because the current compact cars aren't really all that small. I can't find the dimensions right now but I think it was Motor Trend that said a Cruze is about the same size as a previous-gen Audi A4, a "midsize".

Yep, that was my point.
