Cruze

Breadcrumbs

This car can leave wet spot marks on the trousers of the Civic and the Corolla.

Comfort

Very good ride. And lot's of room at the rear.
Performance

150bhp, 320Nm, 100 in 11 secs.
Cool

It's butch and imposing. Wish people would go easy on the after-market chrome, though.
Quality

Interiors are well-made and have a sporty black, grey, silver theme, with some teal high-lighting thrown in. Thankfully, there's no plastic parading around as wood
Handling

Not a Ford or a BMW, but is fun and involving.
Practicality

Seating for five and lot of room in the boot. Need anything more?
Running costs

All that power and torque actually leaves you with about 14kpl at the minimum.
