Well guys, the girlfriend and I test drove a '14 Chevy Cruze LT today. Her dad use to have one and she really liked it. I'm like ehhh, let's go test drive one & see how they are.

 

Well, I was actually impressed by the little car. I know they're very popular selling car. But I just don't understand why, until today. It had plenty of power, test drove one on the interstate and parts around town. I didn't feel cramped at all, me being 6'2". I like the Chevy My Link, it's big and very helpful.

 

With that being said, it had the technology package, fog lights and it was black. It didn't have power seats, which I found really weird. Do they have em on the LTZ's? Plus, do they have heated or ac seats?

 

I like the car overall, plenty of power and it was smooth. We also thought about getting the RS package, but is worth it? Is the Diesel worth getting?

 

Since there is people on here that has the Chevy Cruze. How much you like em? Pros and cons? I would like to have some feedback, if possible. We have narrowed it down to this and an Outlander Sport. Gonna be be the wifes car, I will use it also. Thanks guys!

Here's mine. It's a 2014 1LT with the RS Package. I really like it. Gets great fuel mileage, has decent power, and it's comfortable. Definitely get the RS Package, it's well worth the money. Comes with the Z Link rear suspension, different front and rear bumpers with side ground effects, and different gauges along with other interior accents different from the lower trims.

Neither. I think you have to get the driver convenience package to get power seats, but I'm not 100% sure...

That's the only downfall I didn't like. Seemed like I was setting up too high.

There's a lever on the side you can pump up or down to adjust the seat height. Did you try it?

No I actually didn't see it. Maybe If I did, I could have lowered the seat some.

Yea they might have had it up causing you to sit higher. If I remember I'll get you a picture of it tomorrow.

My buddy has an RS. He is 6'4" and he loves it. We went on a 3 hour road trip. Road really well and was ok comfort wise. I made a comment about the seat back. It seemed to narrow. He said the seats are narrower in the RS vs non-RS. Not sure how true that is, but something to look at. Other than that it was a really nice 'big' car to be in.

Here's a picture of the lever. Don't mind the dirt, I've been making part runs all weekend for the Silverado.

Yeah I saw, but didn't know what it was. So I just left it alone. Thanks man. How many miles is on yours? Any problems to note?

I have about 12,000 miles on mine with no issues. My Wife's 2012 is a different story though. Has 63,000 miles on it so far. Has had both mirror covers on the sun visors break off with hardly any use, the trunk button stopped working just outside of warranty, the water pump was replaced once, and the PCV valve has gone bad twice now within a 30k mile period. Also one day she got in it to leave work, and her brakes wouldn't work. Left it sit for about a half hour, and they've worked fine ever since. Seems like every month were at the dealer with it getting something fixed.

 

Also the PCV Valve is built into the valve cover making it an even bigger job to replace.

Yea I'd say if it keeps it up it'll end up being traded in. The dealer said if the PCV issue keeps happening they will replace it even out of warranty, but I can't imagine that happening too many times. I like mine a lot, but I regret getting it now because of how my Wife's Cruze is. I'm just hoping mine is a better car...

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
