I completely agree with Tomko

It may be worth looking into something with less miles. I personally wouldn't buy a used vehicle with more than 75,000 miles for the $6000 range. Things that aren't very popular like the Pontiac G3(same as Chevy Aveo), or Pontiac G5 and Saturn Ion(same as Chevy Cobalt) have a very low resale value and are a real bargain. Things like the civic sell for way more than they should just because people who don't know much about cars, know a civic is usually a safe bet, so they're desirable.

The Cruze is still a good used car to look for but since it's still a current model, with low miles comes a higher price tag.

I have pages of serves history on this cruze I was looking at. They are all in my email. I do agree that things are built to break. I'm a welder for a very large company and I won't say what I weld but there are flaws built into what I work on to keep people spending money. I do understand also that there are more negative reviews then positive and it's like that with almost every product out there but the trends that I'm seeing arnt ones that I would won't to take the risk with. With the Mazda 6 yes it's a smaller car but the mpg is thru the roof and iv had alot of great luck with Japanese 4bangers. Right now it's just me, my wife, and the little guy with no more on the way anytime soon so a small car with great milage works perfect for us. After we buy our house in September is when my wife will get her suv she wants lol. Last I knew it was a terrain she wanted but idk.

While I certainly do not agree with you, I can respect the conclusions you have come to. If safety is number one, the Subaru Forester is the safest car you can buy. Let us know if you change your mind and get a Cruze, the majority of us are extremely pleased with our Chevrolets.
