Chevrolet Cruze (2011 - 2015) 1.7 VCDi LT 5d (2013/13) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like to be a little bit different , but not to much as the car is basically a Vauxhall Astra underneath . Engine , gearbox , running gear , switches etc etc .....

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They seem to like it . They cant believe the price i got it for either , also impressed with the running costs too.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No as Chevrolet no longer sell new cars in Europe . Which is a shame.

What are you likely to buy next?

Possibly a cross over or suv . Quite like the look of the MG GS , that could be a possibility.

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

£7,500

February 2015

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Price , year , looks , condition, specs.

What was the dealer like?

Not very accomodating , i had to arrange a lift to pick car up as dealer declined to transport car to a dealer near me (Arnold Clark).

What's it like to drive?

A little noisey and harsh when pushed hard . Quite hard suspension in city .Fantastic on a motorway and steering very easy to use . Overall very comfortable car to sit in , although seats are set quite low.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park due to rear parking sensors , it does seem a little wide though and i find it a tight fit in some spaces .

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing yet , but very noisy diesel engine when cold .

What's most practical about your car?

Love the £30 per year road tax and average around 50mpg . Good boot space and very nice interior on the eye .

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Parking sensors on rear , 6 speed gearbox and cruise control.
