2011 New Chevrolet Cruze Performance

2011 New Chevrolet Cruze Angle view

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a good car, although at least part of its goodness comes from the fact that it isn’t really that small. It’s well-positioned against the Civic and Corolla. I believe that it beats both of those cars in significant, measurable ways. You are looking at the Cruze’s not-so-secret weapon: an interior that represents a Cloverfield-sized leap past the competition. It’s part Cadillac CTS, part Buick LaCrosse, part Chevrolet Malibu, and unmistakably GM in the way the exterior does not quite manage to be. Forget the Civic or Corolla. From the touchable dash panels to the big, comfy seats, the Cruze is fitted-out to compare directly with Accords and Maximas. The interior is spacious.

Visibility is outstanding. On the road, the New Chevrolet Cruze is genuinely quiet — not from an overabundance of insulation, but from thoughtful design. The harsh, annoying frequencies disappear, allowing the stereo to shine even at low volume. Never before has a car of this size been so relaxing to run down the freeway for four adult passengers.If you’d bought a Cruze last year with a 1.8, you would probably wish you had the 1.4 turbo instead. This is a sound, cheerful, strong-enough motor, producing a nice long plateau of torque from 1700rpm on and making it easy to drive on light throttle. In recognition of the fact that TTAC readers don’t necessarily care how quickly the big little Chevy can run down a two-lane, during my drive time I chose to focus on a different aspect of “performance”

2011 New Honda CR-Z EX Review complete

The 2011 New Honda CR-Z EX auto-stop function also is affected by the running mode, but the car will completely shut down at a stop, in neutral, in any mode. Therein lies one of the CR-Z's ironies: It's a hybrid, but because of its manual transmission (no complaints, mind you), it has to wait until the car Honda CR-Z EX is in neutral to shut down completely (unlike most CVT or automatic-transmission hybrids, in which the engine shuts down as soon as the car stops and starts up as soon as the brake is released).

So unless you take the extra step to slip into neutral at a stop, the car will never achieve maximum city stop-and-go fuel economy, which is usually a strong point for hybrids. Honda CR-Z EX That's probably why the city mpg isn't higher; some hybrids boast higher city fuel economy than the highway number. Honda CR-Z EX numbers are 31 city, 37 highway.
