We got a new Cruze!

Well it was time to trade in the trusty Volvo the wife has driven for years.

After close to 200K miles I was fearing it was going to start to nickle and dime me to death although nothing major so far.

Anyway we got a New Cruze LTZ with sunroof and the coolest thing is it has the RS package.

The "RS" emblems are exactly the same as on the Camaro "RS" and the rear spoiler is very similar as well.

She loves it, really is a cool little sporty car that gets incredible gas mileage.The thing handles surprising well with the 18" Michelin tires.

Plus it's a Chevy yeah...no more foreign cars for us!

Congrats. I love my little LT. Its been great on trips with long distances between fillups even at 80mph. Also aquite comfortable for a small car. Its been a really good DD and its nice to see Chevy finally made a good small car.

Love my cruze. I have a Eco manual and it has to be the car with the best gas mileage when you factor it isn't a hybrid can seat 4 comfortably. At 15 dollars a week for 200 miles isn't bad.

Nice,
I read a lot of good reviews on the new Cruze.It is a lot of car for the money.

And the 1.4 liter turbo,yes 1.4 liter big block, gets up and goes pretty good!
Jeez,there are sport bikes with engines that big.
And my Camaro is a 6.2 liter

She didn't get home yesterday until after dark.I guess she took the long way home so I get some pics when I can.

Ya, I drove hers once and that little 1.4 actually scoots that car pretty good. I hate the thing, but she loves it and it's her car, so that's all that matters. her last car budget was 40k, and she picked a Cruze for less than half of it. LOL
