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.

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 .

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.

Headroom, and visibility are not very good...comfort slightly lacking... maintenance is reasonable.

Like the gas mileage and styling...The low front is somewhat of an issue as it hits a lot of low objects,,like curbs and parking blocks.

Economic and comfortable

I love the remote start cruise control and 40 miles to a gallon when I'm traveling. The back seats are kind of small but love that I can access my trunk through the back seat. Recommend this vehicle.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meets my needs

At this point in my life, I generally only do local driving, not long distance, so this car basically meets my needs. It’s comfortable, at least for the front seat passengers (I’ve never sat in back). It’s run well since we bought it.

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.
