Specifications apply to test vehicle only.
Let's be honest: We're spoiled. We've become so used to our power windows, keyless entry, Bluetooth, satellite radio and other luxury doodads that they're no longer optional. They're mandatory. The problem is, $4-per-gallon gas is forcing many to give up their bigger cars for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles, a segment that historically has been short on features and refinement.
But no more. Automakers have responded to downsizing customers like never before, and the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a good example. Replacing the unloved rental-fleet special known as the Cobalt, the Chevy Cruze offers up a comfortable and fuel-efficient package that offers a surprising amount of refinement and features considering its size and price. If the kids-only rear seat doesn't bother you, it's easy to let the big trunk, quiet highway manners and comfortable driver's seat win you over. |
