2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Test Drive Video Review

[@honestycounts9352]

Now that the sales of ALL diesel Volkswagen cars have been prohibited in the U.S., this car will be one of the few that consumers can buy.

[@huss1205]

love diesel engines. I drive an i30 (Elantra in the US) CRDI 1.6L 4 cylinders and it is awesome and consumes like 1L/20km. In Europe, the very majority of cars sold in the last few years are diesels and I rarely now see a car with a petrol engine sold...

[@EGGINFOOLS]

I know the lag you speak of and its present in ALL cruze's. Its a TCM program that GM puts in to control the transmission for reliability and wear which I hate. Aftermarket tuners are fixing this issue and people are loving it. The cruze i had was terrible and would be down right dangerous sometimes when getting the car to respond quick enough throttle inputs. Good review by the way. You spoke clearly and knew the information well.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

David Tuerk​ No its not turbo lag. It's been this way before the diesel Cruze was born. I had the 1.8 and I also had a rental 1.4 turbo. Nice cars but both suffered the same problem. 

[@blammod]

i can't be the only one who likes the way a diesel motor sounds. these reviews always complain that the motors are loud.

[@monkeyCmonkeyDoo]

The title of this review should be, "Let's talk about anything but the car I'm driving". Total fail on this review.

[@seaneastman8817]

Brian Middleton Ha! It is nice to hear about other brands and their offerings though.

[@SchweinJunge57]

I was hoping for a review of the cruze... not the jetta...

[@mikkinikki1902]

it's about fuel management and airflow...aftermarket tune for that...

[@elenalukovnikova7614]

can its go im svo or black diesel ???

[@eternalhalloween1]

This is a case where numbers have to be compared. The VW Jetta is notably less expensive. But it drinks more gas. This Chevy Cruze is more expensive, but gas goes further. It may be a good idea to calculate how much you spend on gas in a year and find out how many years it will be before you would break even on the Cruze and then start saving money. Maybe you will save, but it of course all depends on how long you keep your car before getting a new one.

i cam e to here to watch a review for the cruze but you're always talking about the jeda whatever due

[@ashleywhitaker124]

“There are people out there that are afraid of Volkswagen reliability”. That’s a first! 😂

[@werbrown]

Why is gasoline higher priced where you live I wonder?

[@atr5097]

The car is not 100% american, it`s only assembled here, the engine is coming from Germany, and is standard for Opel`s and all GM Europe vehicles ...

[@BTC909]

The 1st & 2nd rows are tight. Rental car exterior.

[@Trades46]

Pretty bad review. It's OK to make the occasional statement about another competitor during the review, but you're consistently talking about the Jetta it begins to feel like this isn't so much a car review than talking about fuel-efficient compacts in general.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

Opel is GM.

[@medina1978am]

The cruze that we have here in America is a joke. Why can't we get the European version with the 1.7 diesel engine. That gives you close to 800. Miles on a full tank. Chevy and Ford make a lot of great cars. And we can't buy them.

[@mejenborg]

Yah, you're missing out.. Just got my Chevy Cruze 2.0 VCDi with 163hp.. Great car.. I can go approx. 1300km on a tank full..

[@seaneastman8817]

Alberto Medina Excellent point. Reason probably is decreased profit for Big Oil.

[@InsaneAspect]

Hey let’s talk about Volkswagen and Mazda while I drive a Chevy Cruze

[@werbrown]

Diesel fuel is .40 cents a gallon more than gas in my neck of the woods.

[@mejenborg]

Seriously? Here it's cheeper.. Way cheeper.. 12DKK for a liter gas, and only 9DKK for a liter diesel.. Quick calculations 8.18 USD/Gal. gas, and 6.13 USD/Gal. diesel..

[@KCN8er]

$1.82 per liter by 3.78 liters in one gallon is $6.88 per gallon of petrol and $1.38 by 3.78 liter in one gallon is $5.21 per gallon diesel. I live in Korea and it's about a dollar per liter after you exchange so $3.78 per gallon of diesel. Petrol costs a lot more. Maybe the Danish Kroner was stronger 2 years ago.

[@SlipknotMaggot0526]

American car company, but engine is from an Opel.

[@Reinbold1500]

Opel is GM's German branch

[@mejenborg]

The engine is actually italian, and produced by GM Daewoo..

[@Reinbold1500]

ohh never knew that. thanks for the info

[@jimmygarcia5962]

Rims r different for diesel model!

[@TerminatorTX3]

The Honda is a better vehicle with more horsepower, plus more sportier.

[@thecrazygear4603]

Yes of course you would say German make great diesel engines but there made in Germany put a pin on that We Americans like things made in America where it's close to get parts And I read online German-made of things that are put in America they require they their oil German-made oil not American made oil something to do with rod rye ability issues I prefer American made items and cars

[@whatever04811]

The worst Chevy Cruze review in history. WTF man

[@wildbill6976]

the new jetta's are garbage, made in mexico... Mk4's were the last "true" Jetta's...

[@Kelvon499]

I think Diesel engines are stupidness in cars

[@SlipknotMaggot0526]

Oh, i'm sorry, is 50 mpg too good for you?

[@wildbill6976]

never heard of the R10 TDI I take it?
