For The Cruze has a much better cabin than existing Chevrolet buyers will be used to, and it looks pretty funky, too. The bargain-bucket price and warranty package will be tempting
Against The petrol engines are gutless, it's not particularly exciting or comfortable to drive and it's not as practical as a hatchback
Quite a lot of car for not a lot of cash, but remember – there's a reason why it's so cheap
The Cruze is cheap, and the best way to maximise the value for money you get is to keep it as cheap as possible. That's why we'd recommend the 1.6-litre petrol engine. Sure, it's noisy and it feels flat unless you're revving it to the redline, but it’s not much slower than the 1.8.
There's a 2.0-litre diesel, too, but it makes the Cruze too pricey, at well over sixteen grand, especially as it only comes with higher trim levels.
The basic S (AC) is the best one to go for. Yes, LS and LT versions give you more toys, but you should only spend the extra if you can't live without them.
