Welcome to the forums and congrats on your new Cruze!


Just Cruzin'

So far, very pleased with our 2012 2LT with a manual transmission. Ha, not sure if I would like that smudge screen, see you have a bunch of pushbuttons missing compared to ours.

Also see you have no snow on the ground, an ATV for winter trails? Ha,we use a snowmobile for this. ATV's are for spring, summer, and fall use.

Really curious about remote start with a manual transmission, our dealer said it can't be done. Only needs a neutral safety switch as compared to an AT, already has a parking brake switch. Is he installing an aftermarket unit?

Welcome to CT and congrats on your new 2LT 6M.

NickD,

Yes we have snow there was just not much in the dealer's lot hehe. Yes we have winter ATV trals andI will more than likely still own the Cruze once the snow melts so... The remote start is an after market. There is no way we can get a remote start on a std model, in Canada anyways.

Just curious, those look like LTZ rims. Do Canadian models get different wheel options than us south of the border?

Other than that, it looks exactly like what we're getting. :clap:

Could you post the brand and model number of that aftermarket remote start. This would make my wife happier.

Ha, they say Wisconsin does not border Canada, but drew a line through the center of Lake Superior with the north half, Canada and the south half Wisconsin. In this respect, we only live 150 miles south of Canada. Use to go up there all the time, but now need a passport. At this rate, we will need passports to cross state lines.

Those are not 2LT model wheels. They come as part of the "RS" package. I am not 100% sure what regular 2LT comes with in Canada.

I sure will let you know when I pick up the car. Ya it's not that great we need a passport to cross the border now even by car! I live on the East coast and we get way more snow that Southern Ontario. Usually mid March it will start melting and stop accumulating.

I wish we could get those rims on a manual transmission model this side of the border.

Congrats on the new car and welcome to CT! Feel free to stick around.

They are 2LT wheels and are not only in Canada. I believe only in 2011 (maybe also 2012), the 1LT and 2LT shared the same wheel. Wheels have nothing to do with the RS package. Each model of cruze has a different wheel... LS, 1LT, 2LT, LTZ, and diesel.

Congrats on your new Cruze and welcome to CruzeTalk. Let us know how that remote start works for you - there are several members with manuals who have asked about remote start.

Here's US model 2LT wheels:

And the LTZ wheel:

They sure look like the split spoke wheels in the picture. No biggie, just curious.
Edit: Looking at the GM Canada website, they are our LTZ rim. They come with the RS package north of the border, like OP said. 2LT models get the US spec 1LT wheel, and LTZ models get the US spec 2LT wheel.

Ah okay... I didn't think there was a difference between the markets, but I stand corrected.

Edit: And you're right, he does have the LTZ wheels.

Wow, that's how they used to do it here by other offering a styling package and it offered the biggest wheel.

 

[JerryCanada]

Nick993,

It is a 2LT. Looked it up on GM Canada and the 18" wheels on the car are part of the RS package.

Edit: Also verified, you can't have a manual transmission with the LTZ trim in Canada.

 

[NickD]

I like the wheels on my 2012 2LT because they are easy to clean and can see brake pad wear without removing the wheels.

I also like the white color so I don't trip over it when its dark.

I have that problem sometimes with a black one. Going out to take out the garbage or something...*smack* oh, right, THAT'S where I put the car. Silly car, you're like a ninja.

Nice choice with the RS BGM combination.
