    Fuel Mileage

    ...so far, we haven't noticed any difference on our 2011 LTZ, but it's an automatic, not a manual, so any loss of aerodynamics (due to chopped belly pan) is probably being smothered by the automatics' torque converter losses.

    Reported Problems with 2011/2012 cruze

    There has been a lot of problems with the "new" electronic-controlled thermostat assembly, mostly with the gasket "seal." But, (so far) GM has avoided making it a "Recall Issue" so people have to rely upon their dealerships to fix the problem(s).

    Southern California 1st Annual OC Cruze Cruise 09/29/12

    Darn! If we were still living in Yuma, AZ, we'd probably make it there, but now being in Tucson, AZ, puts it just a "...wee too far..." for a leisurely day trip (tip o' the hat to the Beatles).

    Just joined - no Cruze yet
