From manual to paddle shift.
Quick steering, very responsive automobile. This one is paddle shifters, and I have always driven stick shift. The new technology in shifting provides. Automatic shifting faster and more efficiently than I can shift manually. I like the size of the car as it is much easier to park and maneuver than a full size car.

The car is the best value for the money and it's a head turner. The car is very dependable
I love my car due to the sporty look. It handles like a dream while cornering and excellerates on a flash. The gas mileage is awesome

Used car in very good condition.
The car is very neat, not external damages or scratch on it. The interior is still in good shape and the radio is intact with an auxiliary outlet in place. There is only 2 doors available and the mileage is less than 50, 000. The brakes are still intact and the engine was recently serviced.

It's an amazing car, fast.

My vehicle is a 2012 Chevy Cruze with Bluetooth.
It is comfortable. It has great gas mileage, I get about 35 miles on the highway. I am at 127, 000 miles and I have oil leak which is frustrating. I love that it has Bluetooth and you can see the songs that are playing on the radio. It is perfect for a short person because the distance between seat and the pedals is shot.

Best corvette grand sport.
No problems with my grand sport from day 1. No performance troubles with my grand sport. No reliability issues with my grand sport. My grand sport is very comfortable to take on road trips. The best feature of my grand sport is it is fast and loud.

It is perfect for a non family person.
It is ok. It was a good deal for my money but I would prefer something more useful for my everyday life. I would like to change up the inside of it to be a little more convenient for my taste and the gas miles could be better. Overall I would say it would be a great car for someone who does not want kids.
accountCircle Dave N
It is kind of small with a red paint job and very dark windows.
It is a good car. I would buy it again. I would tell others to buy it. I did have a small problem with the engine which got fixed for about 500 dollars. It has a good amount of room. It fits my three dogs. Four of out five stars. It is a nice car. Would get again.

1000hp wicked supercharged corvette.
Best vehicle ever made. Makes 1000 hp to the wheels and will gap any car that tried to race. It is carbon flash metallic. Has an ls3 engine with an ecs supercharger. The car is powered by American spirit and will never fail to put a smile on your face.
