We. wife and I test drove Fords, Kias, Hyundais, Hondas, Toyotas, Chrysler, and by far the Cruze was quietest and the most comfortable. Not sure why guys on this site want to make their Cruzes more noisy. Could have purchased a Dodge Dart instead.

Having 4,700 bucks earning on my old GM card also made the Cruze the cheapest, how come other car companies don't have this?

Did have some annoying driver's window air noise on our Cruze, somebody installed the wrong weather strip just on that one door, but my dealer did change it with the correct one.

Only time my wife and I really get a chance to have a conversation is on a long drive and can speak with a normal voice without yelling. We like this feature.

Sure Wisconsin has colder temps than West Virgina, so why am I not getting piston slap? Darn it, got screwed again.

Should I contact one of the GM reps so I can have piston slap too?

Car doesn't live in the garage all the time, can't take my garage with me. Last Friday, sat outside all day in 0*F weather and was quiet, engine only revs for about a minute.

Is this because I pat my engine and keep it clean?

At my age never ever want a V-6 or a V-8 engine in a FWD vehicle again. How about spending the good part of a day just replacing a spark plug? Then waiting another month for all those cuts on your hands to heal.

Bet that timing belt is as hard as a rock.
