Chevrolet Cruze Review-CONNECTED, EFFICIENT and BIGGER

[@colderbeer]

This car is a flat out winner when you consider how nice the ride is and how roomy it is for the price.

[@ezra3445]

I absolutely look forward to seeing your new videos pop up. Without droning on and on, like many others, you provide all of the pertinent information that most buyers are looking for. The brevity with which you explain a car is very welcome. Thanks for the time and effort! Another very well done review.

[@Motormouth...]

+Ezra Moro Thank you for the kind words.

[@peruprofundodance]

just saw the blue one today. it's really sharp in person.

[@coureurdebois]

thats incredible, in this segment its the leader for interior, technology, and efficiency. glad to see chevy making nicer cars then they were in the early 2000's, they went from the bottom to the top.

[@coureurdebois]

na, just worked in this industry for a while working with everything from ford to porsche. :)

[@coureurdebois]

honda is close but lacking in the connectivity and weight to size department. ford is no where close in terms of interior, tech, weight, transmission they are behind in every way im sure they will be updating the focus soon though. Mazda is probably the closest as being a more driver focused car. :) (184″ Long 2800 lbs) cruze (177' long 2800 lbs) civic

[@1javixD]

It's also the leader for being one of the most expensive cars in its class.

[@coureurdebois]

incorrect, its actually one of the cheapest. at $16,620. civic $18,640 Mazda 3 $17,845 focus $17,225 corolla $17,300 all of them can easily reach the 30K mark when fully optioned some even more. so not only is it one of the largest in its class, its also one of the lightest, also has one of the most powerful standard engines that also gets top fuel economy.

[@mentallyhurting]

Love my Cruze. The transmission changes with the way you drive it it still shocks me when I get aggressive. Really only complaint I have is really small cup holders and having to hit ignition about every 10 minutes to keep WiFi up and going.

[@rjm9690]

Fantastic review. I definitely like what Chevy is doing for design these days. Not as sporty as a Ford Focus or Mazda3, but I think many of us Canadians appreciate the roomier interior than the Ford and the quieter operation than the Mazda a lot more. Slight nuance though, when you mentioned the Cruze LS toward the end, you may have meant LT. The LT starts at $21,295 and the LS I believe about a grand less with automatic. No big deal though! For $21,295 though getting a car with all that tech, heated seats, alloys and all the basics is a good deal. If it were my money though I'd at least get that $995 convenience package which gives you the power seat!

[@atlast95]

Great review, my only issue now is buying a North American vehicle anxiety. I personally find the Japanese vehicles consistent in reliability, driving long distance gives me that peace of mind. Keep up the excellent (Canadian) reviews. Cheers

[@ballstein30]

Love you car reviews! keep up the good work! Like the all new cruze alot. Looks as good as the civic. The infotainment system and the interior looks better than the civic too. I wonder how the resale value would hold up?

[@pdlynch4330]

Enjoyed this review. We'll definitely keep this the Cruze in mind as we get ready to purchase our next vehicle (have the Elantra hatchback now). Love the fuel economy, looking forward to seeing the fit and finish. Would love to buy North American, this might be it.

[@Xsoul1000]

Nice review Zack. It's refreshing to hear good comments on American products.

[@FoodyTunes]

Great review! Canadian perspective appreciated with the Heated Seat discussion. Also, your info on pricing and trim level features is really helpful, especially for a compact class car like this where price is normally a very large factor in the shopping around process!

[@joshuasyrtash860]

Great Video!! I had a Chevrolet Colbat 208 car for 4 years, Love it,. Happy to hear they have shaved the weight on this new car. Looking good

[@marcm3017]

Great review zack!

[@CHICOZTACOS]

Excellent reviewer.

[@kevinboyle1968]

I get mine in 6 weeks! Being made. Got the Blue :-)

[@MrHW1968]

Nice car. I would consider it if I was in the market for a car today. The civic is still my choice 😊👍✌️

[@d-tay944]

how is this video 55 seconds old and already have a thumbs down?

[@Motormouth...]

+patrickben321 Haters be hating on this channel. Someone, actually two people always give a thumbs down every time I post a video. I think I know who they are and they aren't worth my time. Small-time players here on KZbin...

[@d-tay944]

+Motormouth Canada yea there are trolls everywhere. just please know the majority of people really love your channel and are grateful for the videos you post. thank you

[@coureurdebois]

+Motormouth Canada tell me who it is, ill troll him into de-existence.

[@shredfactor7]

+patrickben321 love his videos. the best on youtube.

[@coureurdebois]

TheNokiaLumia never, i will destroy them. they shall feel my blade.

[@nickolastiguan]

Looking forward to renting one for our next road trip

[@coureurdebois]

they will most likely charge you more for this, you will probably get a plasticy cheap ford focus instead.

[@nickolastiguan]

justin bouche lol

[@pamelamansfield7336]

I LOVE my cruze

[@iskijay]

Fabulous review, thanks 🙏

[@1969cmp]

Gday. How was the last model Cruze in Canada as the Cruze in Australia has had many quality issues? Cheers.

[@babyganga8786]

Start/Stop tech on a Chevrolet....I hope they really worked on that engine for durability. yikes wonder what will happen 5 years down the line, of course if you lease you dt care much for that but for people that want to own the car better be careful.

[@terrybond9056]

How much is the turbo going to cost to replace once the warranty is over I wonder.

[@Trades46]

I enjoyed the prior Cruze too, a leap of GM's crappy history of small cars into one of the best. This new one looks sharp too. I prefer the Cruze over the Corolla, Sentra & Jetta. However I still think the Focus & Civic are better cars, not talking about the ST or Si models. One thing I slightly annoys me is the rear suspension. I don't mind the Torsion beam (in fact the Buick Encore which rides on one is surprisingly agile) but the fact the Z-link/Watts link is only available on the Premier is kind of a disappointment, as the last Cruze LT when optioned out with the RS package also included such performance enhancements along with a rear disc brake replacing the standard drums.

[@jarrettdecker9580]

I love my cruze, but my new job requires a lot of Hwy miles and the cruze "feels" small on the open highway... But I have got 4.9L on occasion, how many manufacturers can say that.

[@MikeStoddart]

Does the 1.4t have carbon build up issues, due to it having direct injection?

[@rakeshhubert3031]

Why is the service time 9 months and not 12 months?

[@zdravkodimitrov]

How does it compare to the new Elantra?

[@kaibowes]

In the description, you put 2916 instead of 2016. Guess not many read the description

[@KBzPTGT]

many read the description but chose to ignore what was probably a common typo

[@RealtimeReviews613]

This is Very well priced which is rare to say no a days.The new civic top of the line is a ridiculous $30,000!

[@kaleidoscopeon]

+DoubleD 613 Civic is worth every penny you pay for it. Period.

[@Varekai0723]

+DoubleD 613 The top of the line Cruze is also around $30K.

[@1javixD]

The Cruze shown in the video is also 30,000!

[@Varekai0723]

I think I'd rather take a N/A engine over a turbo. The Mazda3's base engine (N/A) has virtually identical HP and fuel economy.

[@coureurdebois]

+Varekai0723 well, its using a technology akin to cylinder deactivation but it does it with reducing fuel. so if you were to drive them identically you will watch the cruze pull ahead in MPG as you dont need to be as diligent with the throttle.

[@chohan182001]

I test drove this car couple of weeks ago. I felt there is tons of turbo lag, very soft suspension set up and Bose sound system is the worst I have ever experienced I wonder why Bose will put their name on this system. I wish seating would be more supportive. I believe Honda Civic has the best seat and driving position in this segment but personally I do not like Honda's. Cheers!

[@idworkhard]

where is the handbrake?!?!

[@TotalMCAddict]

Its a foot operated handbrake

[@TinLeadHammer]

A sedan again. No wagon, no hatchback.

[@lexusfan100]

what about rear video. looks like dont have rear vents. Having no rear vents in car (doesnt matter what price) makes it cheap. cruze should have had the rear vents. i think jetta has them

[@larryspiller15]

likely in the floor under the seats

[@ironsaber2]

+larry Spiller i have a first gen cruze and it has rear vents under the seats so you are probably right

[@lexusfan100]

larry Spiller oh yes thats true..all cars have vents under the seats. i mean vents in front (visible).

[@larryspiller15]

lexusfan100 Just curios, what cars have the rear vents you speak of? I'm sure there are some but the only vehicles I've seen with them are trucks and Suv's

[@ironsaber2]

larry Spiller i don't think i have seen a single compact car with full on dual zone climate control. i think maybe some mid sized cars have them and for sure most full size sedans have them

[@iLikeTigerz101]

The Cruze as the most rebuying compact car in the world? Sorry to disappoint you but not to burst your bubble or pop your tires but the Prius surpasses that by a long shot. And everyone knows it even Chevy owners.

[@bosse641]

I'd rather have a Jetta TDI.

[@chohan182001]

Dear Moromouth, I really like your channel as you are the best Canadian car journalist out there. But I think you are way too easy and generous. I will really appreciate if you could shed some light on more engine/ Transmission behavior and handing. Also when talking about gadgets such as screens and connectivity please talk about premium sound systems. You can use some car sound system as a benchmark and then compare these models.

[@bernice4477]

115 missed calls ? really 😁

[@jsiszero]

2:36 That Canadian study was a lie. Chevy Cruze was only in its first-generation when the study was conducted. Why would anyone buy another Chevy Cruze?

[@TotalMCAddict]

Ever consider they bought a early model and upgraded when the refreshed version came out? I know a lot of customers at my dealership I work at has done that.

[@ittakemegamantohaveasolids5891]

I go with the Chevy Cruze because I going to buy a car in 2 year by that car going to be way cheap than a civic or corrola

[@ruzzelladrian907]

1:17 Hideous user interface looks like a cheap Chinese tablet you get at Goodwill

[@mikes8809]

I'll stick with the Koreans, much fewer recalls and engine fires...

[@Kennybeats00]

+tttdolph bish weh

[@ironsaber2]

+Mike S lol my old man has a korean and i have a cruze. we always have this argument then my mom steps in and says the cruze is a nicer car to be in and drive and handles better

[@Mr1keykneedeep]

Are you paid by Chevrolet?? Man you are flying the GM flag. Let's talk about the SEVERAL MILLION RECALLS GM HAD WITH THIS MODEL. If I'm buying compact, GM is last on any list for ANY of my needs. I'm sure they shaved the prices, nobody wants that Opel made/designed piece of shit. Well, the uninformed may get taken for a ride.

[@lordshin73]

Ron Towers i was thinking the same thing.

[@k.c.marshall921]

You're an idiot.

ugly car
