I looked at many reviews now on the new 2016 Cruze and the fact that it doesnt have an IRS, Independant rear suspension, isnt important at all. Of course a Double-wishbone or Multi-link rear suspension is better on paper, but the final product, the actual driveability and handling of the car has little to do with that fact.
It's like saying : "My car has 300+hp." That can be a fact, but that wont tell you if its a STI or a Nissan Titan with the new Cummins diesel!
Many in the press, reviewers and random peeps on the net cryed about the fact it wasnt an IRS, but they forget that most of the cars in this class have a torsion beam. In reality, It's all about the Tuning.
Chevy has done a very good job tuning the old Cruze's chassis and from the reviews i saw for the new Cruze, its even better!
I raced with my old Cruze, passing WRX and such on the Track, everyone was very impressed with my Cruze and no one EVER asked if i had an IRS, because they knew better.
For those who dont know, Chevy has won 3 WTCC championship in a row with the Cruze, and it had a Torsion beam rear suspension on it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M19RQehDQa4
So anyone who tell you that they dont want to buy a Cruze because it doesnt have an IRS, tell them to go Drive one and see. If they are not retarded, they will agree it has no importance.
Enjoy the new Cruze.
