I've been creeping these forums for a while now.. Just joined a couple nights ago after my first new car purchase a 2015 1LT 6 speed manual Cruze.
Being a licenced tech at a Chevrolet dealer, I have driven in many different chevrolets. Back in 2011 when the Cruze first came out I drove many automatic cruzes.I was impressed the 1.4 had a bit of pep to it and could move a car full of 4 grown men quickly. But it was just another GM to me, nothing really impressed me about it.
Then one day I get a job that required a road test, I arrive to the same old boring Cruze (no offence to you automatic owners)and see a manual gearbox, hmmmm I said to myself.. ok, let's go for a drive. I get in, push the clutch and slide that ever so smooth shifter into first, release the clutch slowly and start moving towards the exit of my dealership. I was immediately confused, was I in a GM vehicle??? How could it of been this smooth? I get out on the street and am blown away at how amazing it is to drive, I cannot believe how smooth it was.
Driving in stock tune is fun for me, so when I go the trifecta route I'll be even more impressed!!
