Test drove the diesel I could definitely live with that.. T
The rest however I donno driven all models but only like the diesel. Like the car but not the extreme lack of power for its weight. 1.4t with a tune may be acceptable. Never driven one though.

I have a Sonic with the 1.4 turbo, so same engine.

The gas milage is nice, but it's a terrifying few (many) seconds trying to get up to highway speeds.

I have the hatchback, it makes a nice little daily. And the four doors makes it easier to have people with me.

Same.. a diesel LTZ would be nice.. but gets really expensive.

The cruze I wanted (LTZ turbo) was $7000 more than I paid for my 2010 TC

The only way I would take one is the diesel. It didn't even have enough power can't imagine how bad the 1.4 is.

I almost bought a 6 speed Eco. I really didn't want a 4 door and it was going to cost twice as much as my G5GT so I decided on the G5 instead. I'm glad I did.

Plan on trading moms 2008 cobalt up for a cruze, but they arent for me, nor is the sonic. I find both vehicles to be absolutely hideous by comparison to the SS. I had hopes for a cruze SS with a decent motor in it, but it seems those were nothing but dreams.
