Well, now that my wifes gmc terrain is done, after being totaled last month, she bought a cruze diesel. Car is black, worked tint on the deal, should be home sat. She drives 84miles round trip 5 days a week so this will be great on fuel bill. I would like to get black wheels but tires are new, who knows. Cant wait to bring it home!
Wifes 1st diesel
- Thread starter matt78
- Start date
Brand new or used? I'm hoping the take a depreciation hit once off the lots bc they're too speedy for me new.
I bought a 2013 Cruze Eco because I got impatient (wish I'd waited for the diesel). Even the gasser is a huge savings on the fuel bill. All in all a pretty nice car too. She'll love it.
As we just sold our 09 Tahoe, we are about to order the Cruze TD as well. Very excited about the car, after I saw one in person and heard it purr last night. The one on the lot was almost equipped exactly how we want but lacked Navigation. The Mylink is so sweet.:woott:
Was so pumped about the engine I forgot to snap a few pics of the car lol. GM will cover oil changes and tire rotations for the first 2 years. Only bummer about this model is the urea tank leaves no place for a spare tire. Err. Oh well it does come with an inflator kit/tire sludge or whatever that stuff is called. Motor takes Dexos 2 5w30

Well, its new so we will take a hit on value, however its cheaper than a denali terrain. Plus wife pays extra every month on her vehicles. Cant wait to get black wheels, she wants all the badges removed, will let a body shop do that. She floored it on another test drive and we felt it spool up a bit. Little sucker can move from 40-60 mph for a stocker. She looked at an eco, had an ltz package on the eco but she chose the diesel.
First: Full sized spares.
Then mini spares.
Then inflator kits.
Now, instruction sheet "How to Hitchhike".

Test drove one tonight....man are they snappy. Def feel the torque
Manuel says 30, 000, on fuel filter cartridge? Anyhow it does have a heater plug on the top left, also gm gives you 2 years 24, 000 maint for free. I will get oil filter numbers for me though and check it all out when its not sleeting outside. My wife left the dealer and drove 15 miles home and I drove 6 and the range got better. Man I like this little rig.
The salesman indicated that some recent buyers had claimed higher MPGs than is advertised! Of course.... He is a salesman lol. I bet you could grandpa the thing and keep the cruise cont 65-70mph and best 46. I hope my wife chooses the TD over the RS model so Steve can get to play with the tuning!

Hope you get one!
Me too. I'm trying to convince my wife it's worth it in terms of longevity and fuel economy.
My wife drives 120 miles a day. We already have over 43000 on her terrain so this maybe her next ride in 3 years. I am amazed on the mileage the terrain gets though for being a gas burner.
Isn't fleece already doing tuning for the Cruze, and injectors soon?
I've been trying to get the wifey to get one as well but she's stuck on SUV's. Id bet with a little tuning, free flowing intake/exhaust, & some deletes those little things would really humm.
