How are you guys liking your Chevy Cruze?

Daryl Z71 · August 17, 2014

Figured I would update with some more info about my Wife's Cruze with it's problems. They replaced the PCV Valve a few weeks ago now because there was oil in the throttle body. Yesterday I checked the TB again, and sure enough there was more oil laying in it. Time for another dealer trip.

No definitely not. I checked it again this morning after two days of her driving it, and there's more oil laying in it again. There is also a lot of dry oil in the charge pipe. Dealer made an appointment to look at it next Friday.

KIA is good about fixing engeering issues fast. The 15 Sorento is THREE updates into that generation, so she probably won't have any major issues.

I might check out the All New 16 when it comes out, in about a year, might have a 2.2 turbodiesel.

She's getting a black one. I haven't saw it yet, but for some reason she loves that model. I wanted her to get a Cruze or Outlander....but she made her decision.

The parent co. is Hyundai Ive had three, the first one is 10 years old and no problems. Good cars for the money and warranty. Wife drives a Geneses, we like to trade every three years, that would be in Oct. This one like the 05 we had ( we gave it to our daughter ) looks like a keeper so far. At lest till the warranty runs out. I was really hoping to talk her into a Chevy SS, maybe next year.

Outlander? Holy schmoly, you don't follow the industry very closely do you? Mitsubishi has become a joke in the US. It a huge surprise they have lasted this long, and consistently among lowest ranked vehicles. That company is VERY close to the owners being SOL on any warranty work.

(Edit: has to remove a part I confused with the Sport model)

We are talking about a company that managed to ruin the Eclipse DURING its popularity heyday. I don't think anyone even thought it was possible to kill off that thing so fast.

My Mom had an '04 Endeavor. Never had a problem out of it. Besides some of the paint fading. Trading it in with 170K, for a '12 Ford Explorer. Yeah I follow cars a lot.

Outlander looks good, but it's performance was horrible. I'm glad she didn't get it.

Oh they had their day, the mid 90s they had some great performance cars, VR-4, Eclipse Turbo AWD, EVOs. Then they gave up in the US market.

Daryl Z71 · August 31, 2014

Did she pick up her new car yet? As for my Wife's Cruze they are going to replace the intake manifold now, just waiting on parts...

It wasn't that long ago that KIA and Hyundai were a joke in the US. Just sayin'.

That comment doesn't even make sense. Mitsubishi was a large successful 100 year old company when MM was founded in 1970. Just 10 years ago they had huge street cred with the import crowd. Comparing them to KIA, is like saying in the late 19th century that Persia is the next United States.

The wife bought one of those jokes 10 years ago drove it five years, gave it to our daughter still going with just oil changes. Since then she bought a Geneses coup and Geneses sedan. Still laughing all the way to the bank, with the money we saved. The only car we may consider would be a Chevy SS, we haven't driven one yet.
