Like I have said, the Cruze's problem is not the car, the problem is the brand behind the car.

we would have probably gotten a cruze if the 808k M/T L was available during the 1st half of april... kaso wala eh. hehe.

it's a good car, no doubt... but as sir GH has mentioned, chevy has a long way to go in winning the hearts and minds of Filipinos.

Noticing more and more cruzes on the road now, though hehe

Ako naman ang top 2 choice ko ay Lancer EX & Cruze as my first car, but in the end I decided to get the Cruze. So far, wala pa naman akong naging problem sa Chevy Pasig. Regarding sa bilis, di naman ako into racing since I learned to drive na may family na ako kaya safety lagi.

Yeah the Cruze is a global car... I don't like the brand though, Chevy and GM (bankrupt Government Motors still majority owned by the US taxpayer)... Doesn't mean its a global car I would automatically like it. Sure in terms of safety its excellent. Reputation and service kaya, excellent din?

Well, since kami ang may Cruze sa ngayon, update na lang namin kayo later on. For now, happy kami, kaya kung sa commercial pa, "suportahan" niyo na lang kami!

i dont think about resale value when i'm buying a car. as long as the car has served me and has satisfied my wants then resale is secondary. i was considering cruze but i read that its aircon has problems so it didnt interest me anymore.

Ah okay, so its the brand (chevrolet) that you dont like it's not the Cruze. Let's be specific kasi we usually buy cars on performance and specs, not necessarily the brand behind it. anyhow, it's your personal preference (brand). definitely i will not argue on your preference.

Noted sir, your another brand conscience person/tsikoteer. Yeah, muntik na nga ma bail out ang Ford, good thing they were able to do something else.

I don't think meron aircon problem ang Cruze. It might not be as cold as Nissan, but Problems, this i have to argue on. The smell that comes in from outside even if under recirculation mode, its just an added safety to control the bad gases, but because our country is polluted, the smell from the outside is not so inviting. lol.

Not exactly brand conscious, the problem kasi is the history of Chevy locally... Heard of the Optra? Expensive parts, delayed parts, bad quality, bad dealer service... So its too risky at this point to know for sure if they have improved for the better... If they do improve maybe we can consider them in the next generation, but I am skipping this generation after the mess that is the Optra...

And Ford was never close from going bust since they had the financial cushion necessary even after the fallout that the other two didn't have or was not prepared for. Let's just say Ford have a genius driver named Alan Mulally and GM had a substandard driver named Rick Wagoner during the crisis...
