I bought the Chevrolet Cruze 1 year back. I was a little bit confused with the budget but my parents/relatives insist me for this car and I am damn happy now with the performance of this car. You will really get shocked when you see the pick-up of this car and interiors like you sit in a cockpit.
Also, it's a rumour that Cruze's maintenance is very high but believe me guys, It's not. When we talk about the exterior of this car, It gives you a spotlight when you go somewhere.

Rivals offer better cabin space, comfort and interior trim quality.

However, it still gets modern features and thanks to its efficient, yet fun to drive engine, it’s still a great option to consider if you’re a driving-enthusiast. The car has also proven to be quite reliable and enjoys a good reputation in the pre-owned car market too.
