Hey y'all. I'm Matt and I looking at a 2012 Cruze LT. I like the look of the car and I had on as a rental and it seemed good.
I've read quite a bit of reviews on the car and many don't bode well for it. A lot of issues w/ the engine, turbo, and tranny. Some electrical and brake issues too.
I found on at a dealership in Columbia for $6k. It has 170k miles it, but it has a newer engine in it w/ 60k on it. The old engine supposedly went out because the owners used the wrong coolant in it. The day I went to check it out, it was having overheating problems. They installed a new coolant res and new radiator. I finally got to test drive it today and it seemed pretty solid.
Things I noticed though.
- Cracked windshield
- A bit of hard shifting
- Radio not working
- Fan stays on
- Engine seems to not be in final gear at 40mph
- Weird noise when driving
- Glove box comes completely open

Video I took today during the test drive trying to record the whirring noise that I heard:

What do y'all think? Yay or nay?
