I'm currently driving a 2012 Chevy Cruze and have been cross shopping the new 2016 Cruze and Malibu. The way I figured it out, I can either afford a base Malibu LS or a nicely equipped Cruze LT with the sunroof/Bose package. Has anybody else cross shopped these vehicles, and what was your decision? Does anyone else think the Cruze actually has a nicer interior than the 'Bu? The Malibu is obviously larger inside, but I thought it felt more cheap and the materials weren't as nice (this was the base LS of course). Is it me, or does the Cruze feel more upscale than the Malibu?
By the way, I just clicked 50,000 on my '12 Cruze. It's been a great car! I had one major repair (a leak in the coolant reservoir) that was fixed under warranty. Otherwise it's been a reliable and comfortable car for the past 4 years, but the gas mileage could be better. I have a light foot and I'm still averaging only 29 MPG in mixed driving.
