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.
Sofia S
Reasons why the 2019 is for you.
There’s is no sunroof which is sad. There is still a CD player attached to the radio. Something it does feel small in space when on a road trip. The gas trips are amazing. Safety features are awesome! Cannot forget Bluetooth radio it is the absolute best along with the car reading text messages to you. Rear view camera helps with parking.
John A
My Toyota is a pretty decent car but there is a also a lot of problems.
Some problems with my vehicle is that the seats are not too comfortable and the gas mileage is not the best. The car also can only seat 4 people so if I have more friends they cannot get into the car. Some cool things about my car is that it can help me park easier and it does this by itself.
Beth D
The best price for the perfect drive.
It is incredibly reliable, gets great gas mileage, and is comfortable to drive in. I also love the safety features of lane assist and auto brakes. The cruise control matches the speed of the car in front of you, ensuring you never get to close, which I find to be incredibly helpful. Overall, a really great drive!
Tanya M
Pros and cons of Toyota corolla.
I sometimes think my car is spying on me. If I am too tired it tells me to take a break. And I see a picture of the coffee cup. What I like is the backup camera. I wish I had heated seats. The problem is Wi-Fi settings on my audio system: somehow I get problems connecting my iPhone to it.
Sabrina T
Apple carplay so I can see the maps, music and playlists and see the rear.
I love my Toyota corolla. Its all white and has a tan inside. It has a touch screen, Bluetooth, and a rear-view camera. It has such a smooth ride and is very easy to drive. I love that it has a lot of helpful features such as lane assist, an alarm that beeps whenever you are getting too close to a vehicle without stopping, and lines on the backup camera to help you park better.
Nicole N
Toyota corolla: smooth, safe, and reliable.
The 2019 Toyota corolla drives incredibly smooth. It is very comfortable and makes long car rides very easy and manageable. It accelerates and brakes smoothly and the safety features help put me at ease. The Bluetooth and technology features inside the vehicle are also very smooth and easy to operate. The vehicle has had 2 recalls since I purchased it two years ago but Toyota fixed it quickly and effectively when I took it in.
Leeann P
Toyota owner for life - loving my 2019 corolla.
My Toyota has been really reliable so far. It is comfortable to drive and has nice maneuverability. The sound system is a bit outdated and I wish heated seats came standard, but those are not as important as comfort and reliability. I have needed a jump a couple of times for inexplicable reasons, which wasn’t ideal, but other than that, I have had no problems.
kathy T
I like that it is a very spacious car.
My car is great buy, very gas efficient, great mileage. I have never had any issues with it. I like that it is an easy drive. I love that the dealer provides you with Toyota care which helps you be more conscious about the service you make on your car.

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.

Corolla as reliable as always.
It is very reliable and good on gas. It is really spacious for a compact car. I have the hatchback and even though the trunk is a bit small, 4 people can fit comfortably in the car. Finding parking is easy since it is small. One thing I dislike is the size of the screen & how you have to download an app to connect your phone to the car instead of apple CarPlay.
Efren B
Gas mileage is the best part.
My vehicle has been most reliable thus far. The only issue I have had in the past is a dead battery and a cracked windshield. All easy fixes. No mechanical defects or problems. The performance is great, what anybody would expect from a Toyota. Also, features of the interior provide a great level of comfort.
Galy L
The best decision I made. Love my car.
I love my car. I haven't had a problem because it is new. I drive it a lot. We take a lot of road trips and save gas. My family and I enjoy the space and we connect our phones to listen to music. I really recommend it. If you like to drive a lot this car is for you.

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 Toyota Corolla
Rosemary C.
The cost and subsequent car payments were manageable. The Toyota dealership had a great interest rate for the loan. I also really like Toyota cars. I feel they are made well and reliable. This is a zippy little car, gets great gas mileage and looks good! A real perk of this car is the Bluetooth will read your text messages to you... No distracted driving!
Rosemary C.
None as far as I am concerned. However, one could argue the Prius as a hybrid is more sound environmentally. If I had all the money in the world at this time, I would have purchased a Prius for these reasons. I think Toyota offers a superior car.
Lenny M.
It is a very dependable car to drive and has up to date safety features built into the car. Additionally, I know that I can depend on driving this vehicle for at least seventeen years and not have to worry about my car.
Lenny M.
The one thing that I regret is choosing the Hatchback feature. I have found out that my space is very limited when I am packing the car for a vacation trip. I should have thought of that issue before choosing that model.
Maria V.
The pros are that it has sports button and it is a strong car. It also has a very unique front grill bumper. I would highly recommend this car to anyone that likes leather seats and also has Bluetooth and amazing cruise control!
Maria V.
The con of the vehicle has to be the fact that the gas is kind of expensive or goes by really fast. The other negative thing is depending on what color you get you will have to repaint after summer. That is why I suggest not going for the sparkly paint.
Jeziel L.
Reliable, great to drive and safe as well. Very comfortable, sound system very easy use and a soft suspension. AC feels like Alaska weather, great cam system plus the radar is very useful, great car, don't hesitate to buy it, great rebates.
Jeziel L.
Tires wear out easily, wheel is not easy to turn. Need more improvement in the alarm system, replace the key ignition for a button one.Bluetooth needs to be improved as well, sometimes the voice comes and goes.
