I do agree with the steering - driving on the highway for the first time in my Cruze, I couldn't keep it straight because I was used to having feedback from the battleship of a Volvo I had before. Took me a few days to get used to.
But the clutch progression is the best I have ever driven. It's very hard to stall this car unless it's in reverse, or bogging down from under gapped spark plugs.
Havent driven the skyactiv, but i really wasnt that impressed with the 2.0 2011. My friends 2009 is much better to drive.
I'm happy to see the Mazda win instead of the Focus or something. From the strictly MPG and value standpoint of the article, the Cruze should clearly have won, though.
