My 6th gear is really sluggish until about 55. I still downshift to pass unless I'm doing about 70+ though.
Only the Eco has the 1.4L turbo. The others have a DOHC 1.8L NA motor. The Eco weighs in around 2900-3000 pounds so about 50-150 pounds more than a sonic depending on the model.

And I don't find if difficult at all. the cruze gets going pretty well in first and second. I usually like to avoid situations where I pull out in front of other cars because you never know what can happen to that left foot in a split second.
