This is the stuff I have been reading concerning the Cruze's times:
"In Edmunds testing, a Cruze LTZ accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 9.6 seconds".
"The manual-transmission model should take around 10 seconds to 60 mph, due to its taller ratios ".
"Chevrolet predicts the longest zero-to-60 mph time for the turbo engine at 10 seconds in the manual Eco trim level, which is tuned for efficiency. Other versions shave another second or more".
Looks like the ECO is really underrated.
