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.

Chevrolet Cruze lease review.
The car is a very reliable, affordable option for a first time car owner or someone looking for a trustworthy work vehicle. OnStar and mychevrolet features help keep you both safe and informed while on the road, and my personal favorite feature, apple CarPlay, allows you to navigate your mobile device right on the car’s screen!
accountCircle Shari B
Dependable affordable car with lots of perks.
I have experienced no problems. Excellent gas mileage. Good visibility while driving. In the winter, the car warms up quickly and in the summer cold quickly. Comfortable seating. Great storage. Picks up and maintains speed well. Cruise control user friendly.

Great car for the price.
I have had absolutely no problems or issues with my Chevy Cruze. It is a great little car that gets great gas mileage, handles well, looks good and gets me where I need to go. It is reasonably priced and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice little affordable car that you can also get upgrades on like OnStar, Bluetooth technology, navigation and all those things. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about my Chevy Cruze and would purchase again unless my needs change or something unexpectedly happens that would change my mind but I do not foresee that happening with my experience with Chevy's in the past.

Love the car, great gas mileage!
I have only had my Cruze for a little over a year and I absolutely love it! I have wanted it for years and it definitely was worth the wait. The gas mileage is better than any car I have owned before and it has back up and side mirror sensors and have me wondering how I will ever drive a car without them again. The color is blue and a very beautiful blue at that. It is an adjustment to learn to drive, but it does not take long. It is a car, so there’s not a ton of extra space, but it is perfect if you do not have any children or many things to haul. A great personal car for sure. I have been a Chevy fan my whole life and have yet to have a bad experience with them. I have noticed a difference in my gas mileage and it is definitely the best bang for your buck when it comes to filling up the tank. It also has sensors for air in your tires, which I also find super convenient and helpful. I get monthly diagnostics reports and you definitely cannot beat that convenience either! Do not know what the car will look like down the road as far as problems occurring - but so far, so impressed!

The vehicle has amazing gas mileage.
I have yet to have a problem with this vehicle. The gas mileage is great as the engine turns off when the car has been stopped for a while. It has a great audio system and Bluetooth. A screen allows for directions and messages to be easily accessed. The vehicle also has seat warmers.
accountCircle Sam H
All around good family car.
I find the car's size fits perfectly with my lifestyle. I drive a lot, but short errands rather than a long commute. Additionally, even though I have just the basic model, I find it has good features. The option to have in car Wifi in addition to connecting phones via Bluetooth. This is currently my second Chevy Cruze that I have owned and it's one of my favorite cars.

2019 Chevy Cruze hatchback rs, very nice.
It's very nice but some of my main problems with it are the large blind spots because of the pillars and there is sometimes a large amount of delay when I press the accelerator. I also do not like the way the glove box works as it does not drop down like in other cars, but it has a 'door' that opens and the glove box itself is very small. When driving it, you notice it is very wide for a small car which also means it has a surprising amount of room inside in both the back and the front. It handles very well and is very safe.

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.

accountCircle Matt B
Fuel efficient, but lacks speed and technological capabilities.
Not fast, features are not premium, bad Bluetooth which is very frustrating. Fuel efficiency is very good though. Chevy interface on screen is a bit clumsy and is not very user friendly. This car is mainly used for me to commute to and from work, so it is effective for this purpose but not something that I would choose to use for a different purpose.
accountCircle Kim C
Small interior with too little storage.
The interior is too small and there is very little storage to keep phones, pens, sanitizer, etc. There is also no CD player. It has been very reliable as I drive about 900 miles per week. The black cloth interior does get very hot in the summer and wish it had come in a lighter color.
accountCircle Sharon G
This car is great on gas. Especially for the commuter.
It doesn't have a CD player. The side door pockets are hard to reach inside and the car is really low it scrapes other than that it's great. Oh and the lights are not that bright. I always have to drive with the brights on. It runs great and is great on gas.
accountCircle Elizabeth H
It is cute and also pretty good on gas.
Sometimes when you come to a stop at a light or in traffic the brakes automatically stop and makes a noise and shakes the car a little bit which is frustrating and it makes you think something is wrong with it at times but it's just an auto stop. Could change that if I could.
accountCircle Rida S
Chevrolet- the greatest car.
It is great.It's comfortable. It has great features. It is reliable and child friendly. The seats are very comfortable and the sound system is great as well. It is a great purchase. The performance is well. You can cover a lot of miles on it and it will continue to be functional.
accountCircle Regina V
Great car for a good price and starter car.
It is a basic Chevy Cruze gets pretty good gas mileage. It's a key start. Has power windows and you are able to connect your phone to the car making it easier when driving to talk. Is able to provide a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to five device's. It's comfortable and easy to drive.

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.

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.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled 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.

likeFilled 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.

likeFilled 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.

likeFilled 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.

likeFilled Sharde J.

Pros is this car is amazing and it saves gas the cons is the how small the backseat is if it was a little more wider in the back it would be perfect! It is hard having a toddler trying to climb in and out the car.

likeFilled Rodell C.

Great vehicle to have a fair price to drive at affordable gas price. Emission control system that saves gas. Top quality touch screen that navigate, answer phone and music feature. Eco tech engine that delivers satisfying comfortable driving with power made from the highways.

likeFilled Ryan D.

Fuel efficiency is the biggest pro. Also, it is fun to drive and comfortable. Easy to park and navigate traffic. The inside is very nice and the apple play system is a great feature for driving 70 miles per day.

likeFilled Shari B.

The 2019 Chevy hatchback gets excellent gas mileage, both in town and highway. In the winter, the car heats up quickly, and in the summer, the ac quickly cools the car. Comfortable ride, with ample leg room.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled 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.

dislikeFilled 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.

dislikeFilled 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.

dislikeFilled 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.

dislikeFilled Sharde J.

Cons is the backseat, it is hard with kids, trying to get them in and out of their car seats but other than the backseat part there are no other cons to this car. I absolutely love it! I would recommend this car to anyone!

dislikeFilled Rodell C.

Compact car that delivers outstanding climate control and room for passengers front and back seat. Trunk release button on driver side that allows you to open trunk. Power hook up for USB and 12v connections.

dislikeFilled Ryan D.

The biggest cons of the vehicle are the size of the car. When pulling into the driveway the bottom will hit the concrete. Also, wish there were cooler seats to help with the summer heat in Louisiana. Other than that it is a good car.

dislikeFilled Shari B.

Hatchback are has limited storage space. Lightweight on the road, so when the weather is very windy, the car does move within your lane on the highway. The car sits low to the ground, so can bottom out and when you pull into a parking space, the front spoiler rubs on the curb.

20000 yes it is a very good value. Not too much very affordable and you got exactly what you pay for and then some.
Keanna M.
This vehicle cost between 17000 and 19000 for compact vehicle, which I feel is a bit high for a compact vehicle.
rodell h.
It cost like 80,000 dollars but it's definitely worth it because the car will last you forever. It's not expensive to fix either.
Dezz H.
It was in the ballpark of twenty seven thousand dollars, but the lumbar support we added to it added about sixteen hundred of that cost. It is priced around the same as other cars in its class.
Ellen W.
It was around 22,000 yes it was a good value. It was more reasonable than most cars I was looking at. Good on gas very reliable get me where I am going safely.
T S.
The Cruze ls cost is around $28,000 but I am leasing for 3 years. But overall the Chevy Cruze ls is a great overall value.
Cheryl P.
