Quick story:
Wife and I both have old cars -- 1991 Honda Civic and 1992 Toyota Corolla -- still running awesome, but lacking the safety features of airbags and all the latest technology of safer driving and convenience. Seeking a new car, we were intent on sticking with the foreign cars because of their reliability and longevity -- sad to say, but our friends' experiences with American cars has been less than stellar. My wife really loves hatchbacks, so we test drove the Honda Civic, Toyota iM, Kia Forte5, Mazda3 and the Hyundai Elantra GT. They were all pretty nice and were deciding on one of those when we just happened on an advertisement or something, can't really remember how we came across the Chevy Cruze Hatchback. The next day we took a test drive and were really impressed with the overall package and the price. Long story short, two days later we purchased the Cruze Hatchback and we received a lot of surprised reactions from friends and families. A Chevrolet? And American car?? Yep! Reading through all the road test reviews, owner reviews, Consumer Reports and other recommended reading about the Chevy Cruze, this is the car for us. And like our other cars, we intend to take good care of the Cruze and drive it for many many years. This forum will definitely help us to achieve our intentions, and in doing so will also help our friends and families to realize that American cars have come a long way and if we could make the switch, they can to!
