"Howdy, GFraser." Yes, many Cruze owners are NOT happy about how GM handled the engine shield "FIX"...ie: cutting the center out instead of simply drilling a couple small drain holes. And, yes, that shield removal DOES increase aerodynamic drag, so a slight loss of FE is likely: GM told NHSTA...

Good points: (a) diesel fuel has more energy per unit than gasoline fuel and (b) diesel engines are TORQUE monsters compared to gasoline engines, even turbo-charged models. Part of this is due to diesel's more efficient direct injection compared to gasoline's manifold and port injection...

True, but not so often on so many 'new' 2011-2013 Cruzes...GM has a problem.

"Welcome Aboard," Mr. JimLockey!

Excepted from the GM document, 'Application for Certification 2014 Model Year', submitted to EPA: TANK CAPACITY (GAL): PRIM = 15.9, AUX = (blank), PRIMARY FUEL: DIESEL ...curiously, that's 0.3 gallons more than stated for gasoline Cruze (15.6 gal).

If the leather "conditioner" contains silicon, it *will* eventually ruin the leather. The BEST leather conditioner I've ever known has been Saddle Soap™, but it must be 'thoroughly' worked *into* the leather and NEVER allowed to accumulate on the surface of the leather else it'll rub off onto...

Welcome aboard! Yes, 53K miles in less than 12 months *IS* a lot of miles...something like 150-160 miles per day, roughly.

What were the symptoms, besides no power?

Excellent, just wish GM would offer a "retro-fit" 3.53:1 final drive ratio 'swap out' package for us 2011 Cruze owners. The additional 2-3 mpg would eventually pay for itself for people who did a lot of highway driving.

GM "removed" the manual TPM relearn process from the software in mid-2012, sounds like your car was made after the cut-off date. Dealership or tireshop (most) have tools now...or you can think about buying a tool for yourself.

Bilstein is good quality, but I'd be nervious about any spring-adjustment arrangement that uses only a SINGLE spanner locking nut...too easy for them to 'work/walk' themselves loose during heavy use. Something I witnessed and measured on USArmy vehicles while working at USARMY Yuma Proving...

"Welcome aboard," we're looking forward to seeing pictures of your new Cruze...what year?

How's the "fit" of the trunk cargo liner in the Cruze? The wife's Cruze is "neutral/brown" (tan & chocolate) in the cabin area, but the trunk is black...what color is your trunk unit? Here in Arid-zona, it's sand--not snow--that most people worry about, although it does snow across the...

Unfortunately, the answer is "no" to your last questions, as not ALL states require gas pumps 'state' how much ethanol 'dilution' there is in each grade of gasoline. That being said, the 'common' thought seems to be for gasoline (in USA): • 87 octane = up to 15% ethanol is Federally mandated...

GM touts the Cruze as being an "economy" car but there seem to be many owners who wish it had more of "performance." So, what is a Cruze to you? Do you "visualize" the Chevrolet Cruze as an economy car, a performance car, or just basic transportation?
