A friend of mine has one Eco audition says he is get 44 MPG with it and it just has 5000 miles on it. I really think that they Rock and for the money I don't think you can beat it.

We looked at LTZs. Get some extras she doesn't really want

It sounds like she's settled on the cruze for sure

1st choice is the Black Granite color 2lt. She likes the dark blue too.

She just has to decide what to do with the VW. I faxed all the service records to a lemon law attorney. He said yup definately meets requirements for a lemon, but his experience vw fights it hard and could take months

I don't know if she's going to want to wait months

Side note/question:

Anyone else having trouble using chevys vehicle locator or the chevrolet web site?

It keeps locking up and closing on me.

Haven't tried it on a different computer yet. But all other sites seem to work fine

With the turbo being water cooled,
If the car overheats is the turbo toasted?

I know it cuts back the power or goes into limp or something if ect gets too hot, but how likely is it?

Looks like there's room for twins under the hood:eek:

My girlfriend bought a Cruze a few months ago and she loves it. On another note, GM has confirmed that they are making a diesel model in the near future...

We'd like one for the wifey but we can't afford a new car right now. They are really nice looking cars & claimed MPG is very appealing.
