Chevrolet Cruze

What it says about you

Opinion

Competent, forgettable, and it did the job for years without asking anything. That is most of what a car needs to do.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

10 model years on record, 3,709 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2014 (air bags), 2012 , 2011 (transmission). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
