That description fits my MS3 :D

Your car vs. 6.5L/100km

..........yeah, I'll take the Mazda. Worth the extra few bucks at the pump just for the fun alone.

i <3 my family sedan :troll:

sounds like the gear ratios suck a lot of the fun out of it. I would also imagine the low rolling resistance tires arent the greatest grip wise.

Still its the only car in its class with a turbo, and 138/148 and 40+MPG is pretty damn good for 1.4L engine.

6.5L/100km is hwy right?
cuz my fit is 7L/100km city.

That's what he's averaging, city/highway. It's actually advertised to be better than that.

Gotta pay to play!

Tell me about it. Last time I took my 4x4 out, it cost over $200 in fuel for the weekend and I was barely out of the GVRD.

edit: although my truck isn't as big, I feel ya^^^ they weren't thinking about fuel economy back then.

You shoulda seen what happened to a guy who rear ended me in one of these new compact domestics last friday:troll:

as for the focus, I actually looked at the fiesta first, but ford wasn't willing to work with me on the finance end of things.

I got into the cruze worth 4k more than the fiesta I was looking at with no problems at GM for their advertised rate with no money down. Ford wanted either 3600 down, co signer or 4% higher interest rate over an extra year :S
so the Focus would have been out of the picture even if I liked it.

go GM for the financing division anyways.


the 6.5L i posted was just my average, but the sea to sky highway has hills, and I live at the top of a large hill (think royal oak then give it switch backs) plus I drive harder than your average bear. the actual posted numbers for this car are 4.6L/100 highway. which is about what i got once I hit west van, and again from the tunnel all the way out to surrey

Stock cruze: not a head turner

Cruze modified by the Japanese: hmmmmmmm....................:hotbaby:

i wouldnt put my pregant gf and my future child in that car. ever.

Half of the shit in that car is not even made in US/Canada.

why not? its one of the safest compact cars on the market. 5 star crash ratings and 10 airbags make it pretty good in my book.

im not sure what you drive but im willing to be its a lot less safe then a cruze.

i just checked their company website, there's no hatchback offered in north america?

:failed:

This car has the most airbags I have ever seen on a car. Chevy had the Cruze on display in Whistler over the long weekend with the airbags deployed. I couldn't even see the inside of the car with all those pillows in the way.

small update, filled up the gas tank last night in squamish and drove to whistler for dinner. drove back and watched the L/100 average drop to a nice 5.8 from chevron-chevron

that's just over $6 to whistler and back :D

As opposed to?

I'm sure in his mind anything VW or euro is better.

in a genesis, take $6 and multiply it by probably 3

:(

The Cruze is much roomier and safer than a shitbox 318i (there, I said it)

For those calling the Cruze an appliance, WTF did you think this was? A fake-luxury sports car? The Cruze will walk all over an Sentra, Corolla and even the Civic in terms of fit and finish, seating comfort (I was surprised by how comfy the seats are on the base 1.8 Cruze), and fuel economy.

Did you consider the new Focus as well?

I'm thinking of getting rid of my Impreza and Mazda 6 for a Cruze hatchback (when it comes out) or a Focus SEL hatchback.

I was driving behind a new cruze yesterday and noticed the crazy watts link hanging off the rear suspension. I've never seen that on a torsion beam before. Apparently the UK cruzes don't get it.

Time to tune it and do it touring style

;)

Has your steering wheel come off? :troll:
