What is a car if not an engine and transmission?its only 80% because of the motor and trans other then that that car is a twin to what i was looking to get in diesel
Exactly.I would hold off until it meets 100% you will always wonder if you should have got the one you wanted
There will always be a great deal on a used car, just takes time and persistence to find a great deal, the diesel will be out soon, we hope, maybe wait and drive the new one and then decide?hard choice
One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is that the salesperson will push to buy whatever they have on hand. They will sell today and feed their children now rather than wait for you down the road.hard choice
From my personal experience with both a Gas and Diesel Cruze's owner, there's 2 simple questions i have for you :So I saw a listing for a cruze that matched 80% of what I want
So the 17 diesel is gonna cost me about 25-27k.
This listing is Not exactly match expect it's gas. 16,300. 2000miles on it
What's your opinion. Worth the EXTRA 10 k so the exact same car minus motor and trans ????
My answer to #1 is yes and #2 is no. Full throttle in the diesel is FUN!From my personal experience with both a Gas and Diesel Cruze's owner, there's 2 simple questions i have for you :
1. Will you do alot of highway in your commuting?
2. Are you someone who has a relaxed driving style? (Dont use full trottle often)
If you answered yes to both those questions, then buy the Diesel.
I wonder if the 1.6 will be as fun given the HP disadvantage over the 2.0. OTOH, It lost a lot of weight, and the torque number is still pretty healthy.My answer to #1 is yes and #2 is no. Full throttle in the diesel is FUN!![]()
It's not that big of a difference - the lighter weight of the car should help make it even - but in an overall more nimble vehicle.I wonder if the 1.6 will be as fun given the HP disadvantage over the 2.0. OTOH, It lost a lot of weight, and the torque number is still pretty healthy.
Yeah. I imagine the diesel on this platform would be about the weight of an old 1.4. 138 HP didnt feel like much in those, but I suppose part-throttle torque will scoot them along nicely.It's not that big of a difference - the lighter weight of the car should help make it even - but in an overall more nimble vehicle.
