i have drove an aveo before and i have to say, the fc of it is amazingly bad.

 

for a 1.4L car, i am expecting like 12km/L but my regular fc is like 10km/L.

i don't revv much, so it's either i got a lemon or some other general reasons.

 

for that reason, i would recommend the cruze. some might say that it's high fc and slow which i do not know for sure. but one thing's for sure, at least you 'cruze' in comfort.

I choose Cruze. Maybe slow, maybe under powered. Compare to the other cars in the 1.6 litre class, it offers alot better protection.

My friend's Cruze got hit by a Japanese Luxury Sedan at 70km/h, he only needs to change the bumper which took a day.

The other car, most probably down and out for at least a week or two.

I recently bought Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 A SS Edition. To be very honest, the only thing which i felt lacking in my car was the initial pickup but that's only when i carry more people. When alone; it is normal and not very quick. But the real fun is after gaining some speed. Drive is effortless and smooth. It glides with speed. So don't worry about the pickup (its my prespective, u might not feel the same thing). It's just for that initial phase, you need to step on the gas a bit more; that's it. I replaced Falken 215/50 R17 with Bridgestone Turanza-GR90 215/50 R17 and believe me it really makes a lot of difference. You will feel while travelling at high speed on rough road and on curves. Superb grip and performance. I bought it for 260 SGD per piece. Cruze with Bridgestone - a deadly combo.

 

Handling - It is amazing the way the car glides and i just use my fingers to steer. It is so effortless. After 70-80 km/hr, it doesn't feel heavy. Usually GM's are pretty heavy but this machine is a different one altogether.

Braking - Again it depends on the tyre. Excellent braking even when i was using Falken. Believe me Falken tires are also good in terms of grip but nevertheless Bridgestone is ahead. I never felt the excessive roll of the car even while doing high speed braking.

Performance - I will give 8 out of 10 considering the car's overall features and price. I bought it for 45000 SGD OPC fully loaded sports version last month and just the next week COE shot. I was very lucky.

Exteriors and Interiors - Excellent, Excellent and Excellent. I don't have words. Superb interiors and exteriors. The design is rocking and quality comes out from each and every panel, instrument, body, paint etc. You can't get a better package at such an amazing price. (I am referring to manual transmission)(That's cheap and worth the money)(There is nothing close to a M/T in terms of driving and fun). In Singapore, i don't think we want a vehicle with great pickup - we should go for a vehicle with good speed and has great stability. I never felt the need for pickup in Singapore atleast. Small place and lot of traffic. Normal pickup is the need of the day and not instant pickup. No use, just waste of gas and wear and tear. After 60km/hr almost every other vehicle runs at the same speed due to speed restrictions.

 

Overall, i found Chevy Cruze worth each and every cent. It is difficult to get a car with all the features and that too with great quality (which most of the other cars really lack).

wait till u drive a bmw then u get a taste earth & sky apart

 

What has the topic "Cruze better of the aveo" do with driving a bmw? By the way, you haven't driven a bmw until you have driven a M. For the official record, Cruze is better now, but I think the new Aveo or the Sonic going to be launched probably next year will swing the balance toward the Aveo side.

Looks like the new engine developing more hp and torque is decent, I would drop by one day to test drive it... maybe today!

 

Just to share with Mecontle... I own a BMW. You can't compare a car that costs thrice the price (ex taxes).
