When comparing the 2014 Diesel Cruzes' estimated 42 mpg to the gasoline Cruzes EPA milage, we have to use & compare the 6-speed automatic ECO Cruzes' EPA 39 mpg -- not the 6-speed manuals' EPA 42 mpg -- because the Diesel Cruze only comes with the 6-speed automatic transmission. Thus, diesel 42...

When it looks "good" one has to wonder *why* they just don't go ahead and make it part of the original body design?!? (I know: $-$-$-$). That molding-insert in rear-bumper facia really helps to make the rear end look cleaner and less bloated than it is.

My sister had a set of Weather-Tech plastic mats in her 2003 Ford Focus ZX5 and the fit was very good. She used them to catch/hold the "sand" (in Yuma, AZ) rather than "snow" (ha,ha).

JamesW, "Welcome Aboard!" The general concensus seems to be that GM is marketing the 2014 Diesel Cruze NOT as a FUEL ECONOMY vehicle, but rather as a LONG-RANGE (~700 miles!) cruising vehicle, something like a "babby" Mercedes-Benz Diesel of years ago. Hence, it's 6-speed automatic only...

06mistreSS -- ironic, but I owned a 1981 Chevette with that N/A Izusu diesel engine. Back then, diesel fuel only cost about 80¢ a gallon, about 1/5th of what it is today!

Which, manual or automatic? Sounds like 6M.

Curious, but I believe the "global" Chevrolet Cruze wasn't introduced until 2008...the North American Cruze (USA, Canada) wasn't introduced until model year 2011.

We've had our LTZ since Nov'11, and 29 mpg is our 'overall' average, even though wife has taken it on multiple l-o-n-g trips over to LA and back with cruise-control on, the absolute BEST milage she's ever gotten has been 32.7 and 32.6 mpg, nowhere's near its 36 mpg EPA rating. Hopefully, your...

29.0 mpg for the LTZ 6-speed automatic is typical for the 2011 and early 2012 models...mpg didn't really increase until model year 2013's when GM lowered the 6T40 final drive ratio from 3.87:1 down to 3.53:1.
