Hello everyone,

I just bought myself a 2017 LT Manual with RS and LT Technology/convenience package.

I always drove manual transmission cars for the first 28 years of my life, then the next 24 years was always with automatics. Now back to manual again, I hope I won't regret it.
Never owned a brand new car before, so this is kind of exciting.

Regards,
H.

Welcome and congratulations on the new Cruze. A lot of folks picking up good deals on 2017’s lately.

Welcome to the forum! I'm currently a "manual only" person but I'm considering an auto for my next vehicle because finding a 4x4 truck with a stick is hard.

I forgot to mention that I downgraded from an older but way better vehicle; Fully loaded 2007 Saturn Aura XR with only 60k (km)
So many electrical problems.

Welcome Aboard!:welcome:

Way better vehicle???

 

[hillsideguy]

Thank you for welcoming me,

I mean other than those electrical problems, yes it was way better vehicle.
252 HP, 251 Torque, 0-60 Mph= 5.7 sec. Leather seats, very satisfying sound system, bigger sunroof. Quiet and comfortable.
Anyway, I am happy with this new one too.

How could it be way better if it had so many electrical problems. :dizzy:

Oh you clarified your post. You'll probably hate the new Cruze for the reasons you mention

Identical to mine except for the transmission.
And nobody has sideswiped yours on the freeway and spun it into a wall yet.

0-60 in under six seconds with 1.4L is a bit expensive.
210hp / 6.5 seconds can be done electronically for $350-700.
