So I'm in Iowa for two weeks for my job and sure enough they put me in a cruze...IMO not to impressed..its the LTZ. Now I rate this car 7/10 only on apperence and the interior..but just wasn't impressed with the handling of the car, touchy steering..I got better gas milage last time I was here with.the.new charger..I know its a bigger engine but cruising around 70mph in the charger I was at 2k rpm but the.crises I was above 2500 rpm..but taking the traction control off and using the electronic shift was pretty fun.

 

*** meant to say with the charger having a bigger engine meant gas tank

 

Well you could of got stuck with a Cobalt

 

cruze steering isn't "touchy" if anything it's pretty numb.

 

Of course it cruises at a higher rpm. It's got a small 4 cylinder engine that needs to be in its small 4 cylinder powerband.

What did you get for actual mileage in the 2 cars?

 

I like my moms LT cruze. The auto is ehh. Still wana see an SS someday.

 

I don't think we really will. But rumor has it that at the detroit auto show sometime this week, GM will be revealing a new chevrolet. Supposed to be a "compact-ish" car with retro styling. Something to compete with the dodge dart, I would put money on that being their new "sport compact" or as close as we probably will get.

 

They have a new snall car coming out called the Spark

 

No it's not that, it's suppOsed to be something currently unknown to the public

 

Hmm. Well it best have a 2.0 turbo. I havnt seen the dart but I'll be keeping my eyes open this week

edit:

I wouldnt mind if it had a 2.0 turbo. maybe if they have an SS trim level it will.

 

Maybe it will be a retro 3 cyl turboed Geo Metro

 

if you liked a charger steering you're insane... i almost wrecked my charger rental when i had one... it doesnt self center at all... i think i got like 22mpg highway with the v6 it had... seriously its the worst car i've ever driven... Cruze seems about a million times better and has about the same amount of greased string removal power as the charger.

 

Why is there a corvette badge on the Code 130R
