Very nice color and good choice in car! haha. Welcome and congrats!
Traded 2014 Focus in for 2016 Cruze
Hello folks, after many many issues with out 2014 Focus (new transmission, new computer module, new touch screen) we decided that we had had enough & was ready for something new. My wife's nephew is a salesman at local Chevrolet dealer so we dscided to go beat him up on a deal for a new car :grin: (December of 2015 he sold me a new Silverado)
We stopped in this past Saturday & looked at many different Cruses and even a few Malibus. Although we liked the Malibu there was something about it that just bugged us. It seemed to nice for us? Especially the new models, they seemed hoity toity. Now granted they were really nice, comfortable and powerful, but it didnt feel right.
The Cruze was more our style, especially coming from the Focus. We took some for a test drive and went from there on trading in the Focus for a 2016 Kinetic Blue Cruse LT with the RS package. The wife is really happy with the decision (she will be the main driver of it)

Ha Ha! Ohio is the best!Welcome to CruzeTalk fellow Ohioan!
Nice upgrade, haha. I have heard from tons of people (and the Ford garage that I bought my Cruze from) that those Focus's are nothing but problems.
There was some few things that we liked about the Focus, we had a hatchback & I really enjoyed the styling of it & some of the little extras that came with the car, but I can't get past the mechanical issues. Especially since after getting a new transmission last may, after only a year the issues are starting to pop up again.
The Cruse does run smoother and quieter then the Focus, plus seems to have a little more pep off the line. (probably because the transmission is so much better :go:
First off, congrats on the purchase, fellow Ohioan!
ccasion14:I don't know if its just me or not, but, the gen 2 Cruze (from the angle the 2nd picture was taken), looks similar to the Focus (minus the badging).
There is my random thought for the day! LOL
