Next to you guys, I must sound like a 'Piker' because our LTZ only gets washed when it gets noticeably dirty...maybe once every 1-2 months!

Looks nice! Is that an OEM or an aftermarket spoiler? Did you have to drill holes in the decklid or is it taped in place?

...speaking of "...more air...", remember, the turbo actually 'dumps' any excess air that the ECM decides isn't necessary...so without tweeking the ECM's programming (ie: a "tune" job) the 1.4LT could--likewise--be considered "maxed out."

Do you have a ScanGauge-II™ or something similar (OBD-II bus reader)? If you do, then you can "test" your hypothesis yourself by checking ignition advance degree readings on each octane while driving over the same roadway. If you find the ECM consistently applys more advance on the 93 octane...

Paid cash for the wife's '11 LTZ.

This is the 'telling' statement (new DX22 chassis): "The car will utilise an all-new platform, dubbed Dx22 internally, which is set to replace the current Delta platform shared between the Cruze and Opel Astra. " ...taken from this Australian CarAdvice review: 2016 Holden Cruze...

Nicely done write up!

Alexbait, you mentioned that you want to get a used vehicle, but don't mention *where* you are (USA, Canada, europe, asia, etc.). It helps to know, because vehicles and regulations vary by country (and states)...as do driving conditions (flat lands or mountains).

The GM 2014 Cruze Diesel 'Order Guide' is now online and available for viewing: Model Information - Online Ordering Guide ...note that it also includes information on the 2014 Impala and 2014 Spark EV vehicles as well. ADDENDUM (20-May-2013)...

Thanks, that information is very helpful to Cruze owners.

Back in my younger MoPar days, I made it a requirement-for-sale, that a copy of the Service Manual(s) be included or I wouldn't buy the car. Worked great back then, but not so much these days: Our Chevrolet salesman just 'laughed' when I asked him about getting a manaul "...thown in..." with...

It's now confirmed, the 2014 Cruze Diesel will come equipped with the Aisin-Warner AF40-6 six-speed automatic transmission (RPO: MDK), the same transmission as used in the 2010 Cadillac V6 SRX (RPO: MXE) and current Buick Regal Turbo (RPO: MDK): • 2014 Cruze Diesel gets Aisin AF40-6 tranny...

Pardon the risque' innuendo, but buying a car is a lot like dating...before the marriage!

...the factory had a short period where apparently some RS component wasn't fitting, so RS production was temporarily halted: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1051257_chevrolet-cruze-rs-production-starts-after-quality-delay We got our LTZ in Nov'10.
