2011 NEW CHEVROLET CRUZE PERFORMANCE

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a good car, although at leastpart of its goodness comes from the fact that it isn’t really that small. It’swell-positioned against the Civic and Corolla. I believe that it beats both ofthose cars in significant, measurable ways. You are looking at the Cruze’snot-so-secret weapon: an interior that represents a Cloverfield-sized leap pastthe competition. It’s part Cadillac CTS, part Buick LaCrosse, part ChevroletMalibu, and unmistakably GM in the way the exterior does not quite manage tobe. Forget the Civic or Corolla. From the touchable dash panels to the big,comfy seats, the Cruze is fitted-out to compare directly with Accords andMaximas. The interior is spacious.

Visibility is outstanding. On the road, the New ChevroletCruze is genuinely quiet — not from an overabundance of insulation, but fromthoughtful design. The harsh, annoying frequencies disappear, allowing thestereo to shine even at low volume. Never before has a car of this size been sorelaxing to run down the freeway for four adult passengers.If you’d bought aCruze last year with a 1.8, you would probably wish you had the 1.4 turboinstead. This is a sound, cheerful, strong-enough motor, producing a nice longplateau of torque from 1700rpm on and making it easy to drive on lightthrottle. In recognition of the fact that TTAC readers don’t necessarily carehow quickly the big little Chevy can run down a two-lane, during my drive timeI chose to focus on a different aspect of “performance” . otoloso.blogspot.com
