My wife drives a 2012 Cruze LT.. the 1.4 banger turbo. It's a decent car. Roomy for what it is. She's racked up the miles on it too in the last two years (40k at least). She gets about 400 miles to a tank. City/highway.
Be prepared for some **** to leak on it. Their korean motors and everything is plastic. So far the water pump, oil cooler, something with the cam cover leaking and the water outlet housing (plastic). All of it has been covered under warranty. Some of the stuff (water pump and cam cover) has been extended to 150k warranty.
