And my MPG/power IMO still sucks!!!!!!! I think I need to drive a 2013 Eco and compare!

My 2011 ECO 6M just keeps getting better (mpgs and performance) at 19000 miles. As far as what I did today to my Cruze - just drive it. Monday the plan is to rotate tires and put on wheel spacers and reset the TPMS.

Update - so I was fed up with the rear license plate and frame rattling every time I closed the trunk on my Cruze-sounded so cheap. I ordered two dynamat license plate kits (w/o frames) one for my Cruze and one for my GTO. Did the mod and now rattle gone. Paid about 10 bucks total for the two kits. Tomorrow at 9am will be rotating tires, adding 10 mm aluminum wheel spacers and resetting TPMS.

and I'm ordering wheel spacers tomorrow. This could turn out to be one fun weekend.

Installed my wheel spacers today (bought from DDM Works). I picked these aluminum 10mm spacers up a while ago and they were around half price off because of imperfections. I had previously checked two of them and they looked perfect. Of the two I did not check, one had an issue. Two of the holes had the punched out pieces still in place. Easy fix but now I know why these were sold as imperfect.

My bad - each wheel spacer is 3/16 inch or .1875 inches which is equal to 4.7625 millimeters. I think stock studs will still work. So total track width increase is almost 10 mm.

funny... as I understand it, Cruze is currently GM's best selling vehicle. If they've been having such massively bad reliability as some seem to think, I don't think they'd be selling so many.

- Best selling car, the Silverado outsells the Cruze. Last month (October) Cruze sales were up 51%. It was the 9th best selling vehicle in the US for all cars and trucks for October.

One thing i definitely learnt, I will never buy a holden again. im normally a bmw type guy. never had anything like that in any of my bmws before.

My Holden (2004 GTO) has never left me stranded in nearly 40k miles. It always puts a smile on my face when I drive it. Now the Chevy Cruze I had - was pretty flawless for about 2 3/4 years then the engine blew. Replaced it with a BMW and no regrets, quite pleased on the upgrade.
