Car kept overheating

The car kept over heating and loosing coolant didn't know where, come to find out it was the thermostat housing, cheep plastic part that chievy had trouble with in the first place. It was the second one that was replaced,hopefully it will do the trick.

Don’t waste your money

It was only after I bought the car that every mechanic I went to, told me it’s one of the worst cars to work on. Always something wrong with them. Unfortunately for me, the catalytic converter is completely dead.

Great car

At 91,xxx miles this car has served me well. I'll have it for many years to come. It is a manual transmission that gets great gas mileage. It has served me well Hauling mulch, concrete, drywall and other diy material. It also helped me move from house to house filling it about 22 times with a lot of stuff .

used every day on a 30-40 mile drive

Staff are always fabulous re. keeping me informed on service being done and or needed in the future. It is obvious that they know their business, never have I had to question their work and as a female driver, that is not very knowledgeable about car mechanics , the mechanics are so appreciated.

Best car I've ever owned

Our 2012 Cruze Eco has over 200,000 miles and runs like a new car. It has required no major repairs. The finish is perfect, the manual transmission shifts smoothly, and the chassis is solid. The car is still very quiet and everything works except for one broken key. We get 40 mpg at 72 mph just got home from a trip to California.

195000 and still rolling

Who couldn't love that! Yes it's having some work done now but I guess at 200,000 almost at deserves it. Nothing extravagant just a few nips and tucks. Love it! ... 3rd owner! Love the extra features such as 2 DC Outlets and a CD player that reads MP3s. The handling is great and I enjoy the ride.

Most reliable car I've ever owned!

This Cruze ECO sedan has been absolutely trouble-free. It handles well, is very responsive & reliably 'zippy' on the highway. It has required no more than regular service in it's trouble-free 88,000 miles...& it still gets 41 mpg on highway!

Love This Car!

Only issue was sinking 700 into car within 2 months of purchase, normal wear and tear but it was premature, since then shes run like a charm. Fun to drive, very good gas mileage, Thinking of newer model w more bells and whistles.

Love

I bought my car the first year it came out in 2012 and it still drives very good. If anyone is looking to buy a Cruze I say go for it I love it. This care very smooth. The seats is very comfortable. I like that it has so many safety bags.

Standing Up Well

Based on its age and mileage, our vehicle is holding up reasonably well, with regular service and maintenance at Spicer's. Hopefully, it will last us another several years, despite limited usage because of the pandemic.

Love My Cruze

My ex-husband tried to talk me out of getting a Cruze. As soon as we separated I went out and bought my car and have had no regrets. It's going on 100,000 miles and still runs beautifully. Minor maintenance but that's true of any car. Sorry they're not making them anymore, I would have liked to have upgraded.

Good value, comfortable, reliable.

I have been quite satisfied with my Chevy Cruze Eco. Aside from some modest repairs over five years of ownership, it has not required much service. It's comfortable, has had good fuel economy (although it has declined modestly with age), and overall has been a good car. I would definitely buy another Cruze.

for 76,000 miles there has not been one problem. I have driven it to Canada twice, comfortable ride, economical and absolutely no troubles driving for 12 hrs. each day

12 hr. drives for 2-3 days had not one problem, economical, easy to drive and comfortable. My faith in Craig Auto probably has something to do with the economics of the car as it is serviced approximately every 4 months the best tires available, So, I never look for troubles only trouble-free driving.

Its economical.

Its a dependable car and great on mileage as long as you keep up the maintenance. It purrs like a kitten. I love my Cruze and I would generally recommend it, but unfortunately its being discontinued.

I love my Cruze

I am very satisfied with my Cruze. It is dependable, gets good mileage and easily operated. I prefer a smaller car and have been happy with the Chevrolet Cruze. I bought it used, and it has not disappointed.

My Chevy Cruze

I love my Cruze. It gets good gas in mileage and drives great. It looks good and it’s perfect for me. The only thing I don’t like is it does’nt have cruise Control. But I would buy another Cruze. The Cruze is one of Chevys best cars.
