cruze thumbs down compaired to my redline.
so i have had this cruze for 3 days driving it through the calfornia coast. This thing sucks.. interior is not better it has cloth over plastic. The ltz model i have has no torque till 3500 and falls on its face at 5500.. not impressed at all.

The interior is miles ahead of the cobalt and even the ion. Especially on an LTZ...heck even the LT my girlfriend got has an interior that i would kill for in my Cobalt. Is her car even mildly as quick as my car? No...it's not supposed to be either. I'll be getting her car tuned in the spring though just because

I own a cruze and it blows the cobalt and ion away all day. ride is great nice and quiet and comfortable. Performance isnt there from the factory. but when vince tunes it, its faster than stock ss/sc all day. they are pretty weak from the factory

Guy is claiming he puts about 220whp on a tune only pretty much. That's what would make it possible to beat an SS/SC.
ZZP barely broke 200whp with lots of parts+lots of tuning.
Gdubs Cruze=JOKE No way a Cruze only tuned pulls on a stock Cobalt SS.
Wait, maybe he beat a 2.4 or the guys he raced was laughing to hard to push the pedal down.

A bolted and tuned Sonic turbo might be able to keep up with or beat a stock SS/SC simply because it's lighter. But a Cruze? Absolutely not. It's not meant to perform. It's meant to be comfy, quiet, and get good gas mileage at a reasonable price.

Well yes that's what I meant. Fully bolted and tuned one may be able to keep up...win? No...Keep up? Probably. When the Sonic RS comes out with its more aggressive gearing, fully bolted and tuned, it will probably pull a bone stock LSJ.

the cruze is not a performance car at all. it blows the cobalt/g5/ion away in comfort and ride quality. i love driving our cruze it is such a smooth ride and has all the luxuries of a high end car (keyless entry, push to start, heated seats, remote start, back up sensors and blah blah)

Take off your ****muffs and read he stated that the interior isn't much better because its just cloth over plastic. I can't agree with him more. While is defiantly a slightly upgraded interior than the G5's cobalt, ect. It still is GM's **** GARBAGE INTERIOR BUILD QUALITY. GM needs to get their heads out of their asses and actually make nice non FAKE interior cars.

Sorry but the interior in the cruze is miles and miles ahead of the interior in the cobalt/g5/ions. The interior is as good as ANY car in its class. Honda's is the same its been for years, hyundai's is nice but not better, same with ford. Also why does everyone compare it to the SS or redline. Those are performance cars this one isnt, it should be compared to base models (ls, lt, ltz).
