2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

[Gerbo]

Now if Chevy offered it with a longer warranty (5years) or parts delivery guarantee...they can easily win some market share.

Doubt it. Hyundai-Kia with its coming of age vehicles and better dealership ntetwork failed even to supplant the Japanese brands in the compact car segment.

Chevrolet through Covenant Motors needs a lot more convincing.

But then again while the Koreans were able to penetrate the SUV and van markets, they had real good SUV's and vans. But to be honest Korean passenger cars are not that desirable yet. Of course that could change...

the i10 and picanto did make a dent in the subcompact segment.

if only the i30 or Forte were priced right... that would make a killing.

saw the cruze at sm bacoor last wednesday and i should say it's quite a looker (or bago lang kasi sa paningin ). my real concern is really the fuel consumption and maintenance cost. the 1.8L 'ecotec' engine should stand up to it's label and really be eco-friendly. but knowing that this is an american car, i really really doubt it could match the fuel efficiency of japanese petrol cars in the same class. furthermore, with maintenance issues (cost, parts availability, paucity of service centers), this car may really struggle to gain significant market share.

I wished they launched the cruze here in the philippines with already the 1.4L turbo engine. That would really draw in the car buyers . I've read that the turbo engine would average about 40mpg, or about 17km/L.

personal disclosure: satisfied 10th gen altis owner

A Chinese auto website lists the 1.8l Cruze at 1425kg.

The local highend variant of Cruze LT has a curb weight of only 1315kg.

I'm close to buying the LS/AT model but am hesitant due to brand name and after sales service of Chevrolet.

Also, wala mga freebies sa casa.

I certainly agree!....it could have been a different story...

Anyone knows if Chevrolet casa services improves already under the leadership of Covenant Car Company?

the base 1.8L costs 808,888. Pretty competitive considering mas mahal pa yung 1.5L AT Honda Jazz... the range topper costs 1.048M...accdg to topgear phils...

the price remains the same when i checked out the car at ATC kanina. really great interior. and yes, it looks and feels a lot better than the civic, mazda3, focus and even the lancer ex. will be test driving the unit soon :-)

Paki post ang resulta ng test drive mo sir. Thanks

Hmm... no doubt that Chevy PH's lineup are lookers (except for the Spark, well for gas-eco fans perhaps). Maganda financing, purchasing, basta pre-sales maganda. Pag nabili mo na, yun nga lang - goodluck.

And nope, this ain't just a stigma of being a previous Optra owner - this is fact. Maintenance-wise parang onti na lang pang-BMW na eh. This isn't just for the Optra btw, look at the other line-ups and listen to the complaints.

Marami ngang bumibili ng Chevy pero marami ring nagbebenta after madala. If Chevy PH wants to have patrons and keep their existing clients, they might as well consider on significantly reducing their vehicle's maintenance costs.

DISCLAIMER: Satisfied Nissan Sentra, Mitsu Lancer, and Isuzu Sportivo owner here. Hassle-free ownership and average FC. Pag magawa ng Chevy PH yan aba considering 6-speed ang Cruze why not. How I wish though. lol

Value for money is found * the 1.8 LS variant. The top-of-the-line LT is priced close to some other 2.0 liter cars out there (1 million pesos and above). The LS has the same engine, same transmission (A/T), has airbags, ABS, EBD and even traction and stability control. At a lower price (140k-190k pesos difference) than the LT variant.

thinking out loud...the cruze's taillights and steering wheel looks very similar to the Civic FD.... hehe

[kyoots]

a good review of the Cruze (Holden Cruze in Australia) and the Focus diesel... gives us an idea of the performance of the Cruze' 2.0 diesel version vs the Focus

Autocar UK tested the 1.8LT variant. It did quite favorably, actually.

For

• Impressive ride quality
• European styling and refinement
• Excellent value

Against

• Steering lacks feel
• Not the sharpest responses
• 1.8 engine is lacklustre

I saw one Cruze in Eastwood yesterday in color white! Very nice car .. Di ko nakita kung 1.8LT yun kasi di ko inakalang Cruze na pala yung car na yun hehe. Pero it has 4 back-up sensors. CRUZE lang ang nakalagay sa plate niya

[dblackswan]

mga sir,any idea how's the sales going on with the new CRUZE?..TIA

Seems like none among the members got one nor new owners' thread for this car..

[mda]

Stigma + cost of ownership.

Sooner or later, things will turn around.

At first, only the daring bought the Mazda 3 anyway. But 6 years on, maganda parin yung bili nila

Let's hope the Cruze and Chevy in particular will shape up.

As already mentioned, good competition = more features and lower price on our cars.

[Starex_Gold]

nakita ko na ito sa personal. at nakita ko na mga features nito.

one word..
Impressive!
