Owner Reviews
Mark M
2019 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback premier. An underrated quality vehicle.
Problem-free. Great features. Seats lack lumbar adjustment capability. Hatchback is very versatile, relatively unique yet stylish, not garish like the Honda civic hatchback. 2017 had more features than the 2019 for the same trim level,;h* ROVer fuel economy improved though no change in the EPA fuel rating.
Kalia W
2019 Chevy Cruze is one of the best cars I have drove so far.
I love my car, it is great on gas the size is perfect the backup camera is extremely helpful. The seats are very comfortable, the buttons on the steering wheel help to stay safe while driving. The Bluetooth setting keeps everything hands free so you can better focus on the road. You even have on star allowing Wifi and calling from the vehicle. There’s nothing I would change about my car I feel very safe while driving it.
Jessica O
My Chevy nightmare review.
My Chevy Cruz has difficulty going up hills, no side/blind assistance, wish the trunk was bigger.. Love that it connects to my iPhone and shows everything in the screen for a hands free safe drive. Very good on mileage and gas, traveling is very easier with children...
Antonio M
It shuts off when it stops to save gas and battery energy.
It is a smooth ride with this car. It is efficient and you can get a lot of miles out of a gallon of gas. It is a midsize car. Inside of the car is spacious. A lot of room for the children. Basically it is the right car for a small family. I recommend this car. It is a nice car overall.
Jessica A
Likes and dislikes of Chevy Cruze.
Nice cloth seats, digital screen that supports carplay by apple and android. Highest speed is 121 mph. It is registered for 160. Rear backup camera, no sensor though. Does not come with a spare tire but has a place for one. It comes with a fix a flat type of sealant. Has a small tire pump. Nice size trunk. Slap shift.
Rochelle W
My perfect fit to cruise through my retirement.
My auto is a cajun red, standard trim for an lt. It is the perfect fit for me. I love the front visibility, the ample size of the interior and the weathertech mats that were included. The gas mileage is very good and it moves on the interstate with ease.
Riley B
Why I love the Chevy Cruze.
The car drives great. My biggest issue is the lack of fog lights. Other than that the car is reliable and comfortable. The apple car play is one of my favorite features. The car is the perfect size for a vehicle and is really a family car. I get great gas mileage.
Adeja M
There's a backup camera that prevents any accidents or me hitting anything.
This vehicle is great on gas. I can spend $25 and get a full tank. It also had heated seats so the winter time is great. I also have a navigation system built in so I do not have to be distracted and look at my phone for directions. The steering wheel has the capability of changing the radio stations as well. Finally, I have a backup camera that will let me know when I get too close to anything like another car.
Julie
Excellent fuel economy mileage car
These cars are definitely fantastic. Really nice quality looking interior. Nice stereo system with apple car play. Nice styling body style and a performance turbo engine.
Hannah
Excellent vehicle choice
Bought mine new, and I still have it today. Excellent fuel economy mileage transportation.
Justine R
Safe, reliable, and comfortable!
I do not have any problems! I consider my Honda very reliable compared to other makes. I love being able to start my car from the key fob on hot or cold days as the climate control turns on depending on the weather. The sensing feature is very helpful with lane assist as well.
Brittany M
Honda comfort, and safety features.
The comfort is wonderful. It has safety features, brake assist lane detection. Fuel-efficient, Honda’s has always been a reliable car. It has a back up camera and a side camera for when you turn you right blinker on to see in your blind spot. It has a smooth ride.
Luanne V
Love my Honda civic lx 2019.
Love my Honda civic. I have been a loyal Honda owner for many years. My civic is virtually maintenance free, only needed basics like oil changes. It also has great safety features. The gas mileage is great and the back up camera is a life saver for parallel parking.
Monica M
My vehicle is awesome! Very fit and fun!
I really love my car. It is actually the first car I have ever owned. I was nervous because I didn't know which car would be the best for me. But my car is awesome and I am so glad that I got it. It is sleek, beautiful and has just enough features for me. I love it.
Miranda T
The interior is sporty and sleek.
No problems, perfect vehicle. Love the color and interior, style and design. Great gas mileage, get free washes and oil changes with Honda customer loyalty program. Never had any issues with my vehicle. Have had Honda’s in the past and all have always been great.
Courtney P
Worth the investment to provide safety for you, your family and pets.
Problems: the self drive mode is not accurate, it has you swerving all over the road like a drunk person. The wind and tire noise inside the vehicle is fairly prominent. The hands free setting does not always automatically link itself when you get in the car. Performance: it drives incredibly smooth. Is fairly fast and fun to drive. Has a tight turning radius. It handles fairly well in the snow, despite being front wheel drive. Reliability: I have never had an issue with the reliability at all, granted it is a 2019. Comes with a tow package if needed. Comfort: the seats are a good size to sit in, there’s no strange bumps or curves to it. The headrest is not posted at an uncomfortable angle. The steering wheel is not slippery at all, even if your hands are wet or sweaty. The heated seats, ac and heat all work amazingly fast. Features: the display screen is really nice. Everything about it is pretty customizable. The brightness auto adjusts itself. The cruise control is amazing because it will automatically slow itself down when the cars in front of you do and it'll speed back up on its own. Notifies you is you are leaving your lane and will help put you back into it if you are not paying attention. Will flash a “brake” sign on your dash if you are not slowing down soon enough. You can control everything on the display screen from your steering wheel. The hatch back is so spacious and easy to clean.

Great gas mileage BUT.......
After 13 days buying this from used dealer it had the infamous oil leak everywhere. Looked online and found out it'sa common problem with the intake manifold and valve cover. 800in repairs {they did take care of it} but 2 weeks later and oil leaking already again from the valve cover. Poor GM quality and a well known problem with a simple online search.
Eric P
Overall the vehicle is very reliable, the features are simple and easy to use.
I haven't had many problems with my vehicle. I have found that the battery has a shorter life than expected but I have had my car for 5 years with no concerning problems. My car rides well, the cloth seats are comfortable, and the features are pretty straightforward and easy to use.
Diana A
Great car, great gas mileage' great price.
It has great gas mileage. It has all power windows' power seats' has great room. Never had any real major problems with it. I get the oil changed regularly' and I do get all scheduled maintenance done on it. That may be why I don't really have problems. All in all a good car.
Pros & Cons from Owners
2019 Chevrolet Cruze
Charlotte C.
Great gas mileage, beautiful interior and exterior design, drives great and very comfortable. The inclusion of all the ways you can check out the car yourself, tire weight, oil use, mileage, etc. The front grill is beautiful, the trunk is large and the backseat legroom is excellent, along with the cup holder for back seat rider convenience.
Charlotte C.
The headroom is very low and a little difficult to get in and out.. Other than that, the Cruze is perfect. I do not have any other complaints about this car. This is my third Cruze and I have loved all of them.
Gary N.
This car gets really good gas mileage and it rides smoother than any other car I have ever been in. The inside is very nice and comfortable. The touch screen display has a lot of options and is very easy to use.
Gary N.
So far we have loved this car and there are not many cons to think of. The engine sort of turns itself off when you come to a complete stop which is a bit weird until you are used to it. The trunk could have a little bit more space.
Chelsea C.
I can start it and warm it up before I am ready to leave. It drives smooth. It has its own Wi-Fi hotspot. All the controls on the steering wheel. The trunk is huge and the entire car is very spacious. Though it is comfortable and reliable, it is also cute and sporty.
Chelsea C.
There really are not any cons. I do wish I would have gotten a model with camel colored leather seats and the Chevrolet signature pearl paint. I guess I do wish the touch screen was a little more dumbed down, I haven't figured it all out yet. In all, I love my car.
Mallory V.
Very good gas mileage, decent sized car, comfortable seating, heated seats, remote start, keyless start, lots of trunk space, Bluetooth radio, phone mirroring on the radio screen, seats are very roomy.
Mallory V.
Very low to the ground, which makes it easy to scrape or drag on the road if there are dips or potholes in the roads. Not really great when the roads are icy, and because the car is so low, it cannot drive over snow that is very deep at all.
Pros & Cons from Owners
2019 Honda Civic
Yvannah S.
Some pros to my Honda is that it is gas efficient, looks nice because of the fog lights and black interior, has apple CarPlay, it is affordable, technologically advanced, easy to maintain and reliable.
Yvannah S.
Since it is not the highest model it does not have the moonroof and the seat warmers. Also, the air vents are a bit too small (I am unable to put a phone holder on it and have my phone stand upright).
Nicole P.
The pros of this car are: great gas mileage, I can drive for over two weeks without having to fill up. The car is beautifully designed, it looks super sporty. The trunk is surprisingly large for a smaller car, I can easily fit three suitcases in the back.
Nicole P.
The cons of this car are the fact that it is low to the ground, that makes me nervous from a safety standpoint. At times it is a struggle to get the Bluetooth to connect. The final con with the car is the radio display, it is very basic.
Cassie C.
It is a good size and has good gas mileage. I enjoy the heated seats. I also like the Sirius XM radio. It makes my commute to work go faster. In addition I really like the color. I have owned several Honda civics over the years and this by far is my favorite.
Cassie C.
I do think it has to many bells and whistles. I had to get this trim level if I wanted the Sirius XM radio but did really need many of the other features. It has a rear backup camera which I do not think is necessary for such a small car.
Paula P.
The civic is fast, smooth, and compact enough so it is easy to park into small spaces which is ideal living in an urban area. Not to mention, it is a very stylish car and color. The Bluetooth feature is great and very convenient and functional.
Paula P.
It has a small gas tank so I feel like I fill up more often. It also always says 'tire pressure low' even though I filled up the air in my tires. I do wish the car was a little more spacious on the inside.
