So I traded in my 2014 Cruze and got my 3rd Cruze a 2017. I really like the updates to it. Somethings I don't like, mainly due to being use to the older style on my prior two cars.

Things that I do like:

Larger Touch Screen
Better steering wheel buttons for cruise and radio
Roomier
Push button start
key-less pretty much (even though twice i've forgotten to turn the car off, just for a short time though lol)
body style..does anyone else think it looks like a smaller impala?

Things I don't like:

no fog lamps on this one lol
text messages don't show up like they did before on the screen
start/stop technology (this is gonna be an issue i can see it coming)
i like how the old digital speedometer would show fuel economy with the speed, it doesn't' anymore

I think that's it for now, if i think of anything else i'll post.

Thanks!

It does look like a smaller Malibu/Impala. That is intentional - and I am a fan of the design language and overall improvement in the whole car.

Try this for the texts.

Start/stop can be disabled by shifting into "L" mode and up to 6th gear. But you'll get used to it.

Hey Keith, where'd you grab your Cruze?

Hmm. My car has the 8" screen and it works there. I think someone else confirmed that it didn't work on their 2016 w/ the 7".

Welcome to the forums, Having a 2014 I'm not sure if you had the electronic child door locks or not.

Also I see you had a few Mazda 6's as well. I had a Lapis Blue Metallic 6i a long time ago. It's actually still apart of my username now.
