Benben_shen Neutral Newbie November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 Really like Cruze, and the sportback version looks even cooler... Pity the super high COE stops me from buying it, 99K as listed in SGCarmart, but 89K as promotion now. Do you like this car? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat 3rd Gear December 10, 2011 Share December 10, 2011 It's cool, and sporty, and is definitely will be my next car! Wow. But sadly, the Coe make me crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardtkh Clutched August 30, 2012 Share August 30, 2012 Eyeing this model as well. Would be good if an existing owner of the CRUZ 5 Sportsback could give some Field Report, like FC, handling, comfort, etc... Wanting to find out more! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good if an existing owner of the CRUZ 5 Sportsback could give some Field Report, like FC, handling, comfort, etc... Wanting to find out more! I'm currently own a Cruze 2011. Great car and value buy. Can see some of my previous write up. FC is not as good as my old Altis due to it's massive tank-like frame. Since I owned 2 cars, to my surprise is quite fuel efficient as compare to my newly owned C180. As quiet and handling as C180. The pick up is average and loss out to C180.

The pick up is average and loss out to C180. I totaly agree that Cruze is with good handling and very nice quiet. It is so quiet it makes the bussing sound coming from the seatbelt harness very obvious... still not able to get rid of the noise yet as it does not occur all the time and Chevrolet service guy failed to see any abnormalities inspecting it... feel free to advise. awesome remark on the masseve tank-like frame. :) fuel tank as big as a truck. :p So nice to own another car that is C180!

Is it true that cruze 1.6 LS (A) is selling at $119999? and Cruze5 1.6(A) at $128999? Hardly see Cruze5 on the road... plenty of Cruze though.

The driving experience is no dif between Cruze and C180. C180 pick up is better due to it's super-charge turbo 1.6, but FC not as good as Cruze.

C180 pick up is better due to it's super-charge turbo 1.6, but FC not as good as Cruze. how big the fuel tank? 60L? 60L is very big one, even bigger than those 2.0L car's tank Edited October 3, 2012 by Quantum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP_Lee 5th Gear October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 how big the fuel tank? 60L? 60L is very big one, even bigger than those 2.0L car's tank Is 60L. Big right. This is a heavy car. Not meant for fast driver. Suitable for me, as a executive and family man. Great for long distance drive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum 5th Gear October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 (edited) very strange, just noticed Cruze 1.6M only 107HP, but Cruze 1.6A 122HP who can explain Y? it's Alpine looks down manual buyers? another strange is the Cruze kerb weight up to 1844kg, even heavier than a SUV, is it true?

Kangadrool Supersonic October 3, 2012 Share October 3, 2012 very strange, just noticed Cruze 1.6M only 107HP, but Cruze 1.6A 122HP who can explain Y? it's Alpine looks down manual buyers? Old stock. The 107HP is the old engine which the old 4AT is using also. The new 6AT comes with 122HP engine, but the feedback is, "too many gears" => gear 1 to gear 2 is hesitant => gearbox is "confused" especially if driven in stop/start traffic.

Kangadrool Supersonic October 4, 2012 Share October 4, 2012 The setup/tuning is not suitable for stop/start traffic, more for freeway travel where stops are few in between. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holdenutessv Turbocharged October 4, 2012 Share October 4, 2012 Probably because the Cruze was made for cruising down the highway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery car make has it's pros and cons. Is just a matter of you are a fast or steady driver. This car is not meant of fast drivers. Cruze stands for Cruising long distances. To me, the car is fine car and suits me will. I have been driving between manual and auto mode. The gear changing is quite ok, and seldom confuse. Unless you depress and let go in short interval. I love driving manual, coz is more power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by Chevrolet technician, playing with the manual grear will increase a lot more fuel consumption... true? Anyway, my 1.6 (A) LS is at 9.5 to 10 KM/liter. How about you guys? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
