Looks like it's nice to drive! Very nice interior too. Looks much better than most modern cars. How's it feel? Sportier than the buick? haha

I miss the seats in the Buick. It's not that much faster than the Buick either but what it's what you would expect from a 1.4L in a not so light car. The longest range I got out of it was 601 miles w/o filling up. After shaving the badges, its fun to have people standing around the car when I walk out of the store trying to figure out what it is. It's pretty much as big as the last body style Malibu and kind of looks like it in the front. I also got people asking me to do their badges after they seen mine done.

Nice! I got to drive a 1.4 Cruze at work the other day. It was auto, but it was nice to drive. Surprisingly perky.

I wasn't a fan of the auto and how/when it shifts. My goal was MPG and response to throttle imput when I want. I had an oportunity to run with an auto on a recent trip. I was able to downshift to 3rd where they weren't so I pulled away a nice bit.
