I had the opportunity to drive a new 2LT Cruze w/ the 1.4L turbo a couple of weeks ago and i can say this car definitely lives up to the hype.
The first thing that struck me is how nice this car really is. Especially compared to the Cobalt it replaces....wow (i currently have a Cobalt DD that im wanting to replace and the Cruze is atop my list). Not only is the fit and finish excellent inside and out, but the car has the look and feel of a Cadillac or Lexus and not what ive grown accustomed to with the "entry level" or compact Chevy's. Driving the car i was amazed at how smooth the turbo motor is, and for the low hp/tq ratings this car actually moves out quite well, much better than my Cobalt. The road noise is almost non-existent, the Pioneer audio system has a good sound, the car also has plenty of room inside for passengers, cargo, etc. And it looks damn good!
Now i just have to decide on which model, LTZ, 2LT w/ RS, etc. I do know i want Taupe Gray as it will compliment the Cyber Gray C6 well.
GM/Chevy did a great job with the Cruze, should be car of the year!
