anuprav 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 Yesterday i went to Auto Vikas showroom and did the test Drive of cruze. LTZ is fully fully loaded car and is having all the features. Cruise control which is normally in automatic cars is also there. Gud pick up. 6 colors will be there. I will do test drive again today in the afternoon as yesterday only did TD for 10 minutes as some people from Chevy came to the dealer so had to come back urgently. Its now due to launch in first week of october and deliveries will may or may not start during diwali as told by dealer which will all depend on number of bookings. Alloy wheel 16 they are providing and all 5 are alloy wheels. I have taken some pics but dont know how to post them. Can anyone tell me how to post the pics.

I have yet to do TD of Laura Diesel so cannot comment right now. Will be doing TD of Laura tomarrow. Cruze was fantastic. Liked it very much. Tomarrow after doing TD of Laura diesel if I found lacking somewhere then I will book Cruze. Will keep you updated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pranab.p 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 heres what one of my friends said on another forum... Hi guys! I checked out the Cruz today.The model I checked out was the fully loaded version with Airbags, ABS sunroof et al.The car is pretty big and has quiet a road presence, primarily due to the "In your face" grill! The interior space though is just a bit more than the Magnum. The boot, though pretty big, seemed a little shallow.The interiors were all grey leather and the dash was quite large with nice contours. the MID display was a bit of a disappointment with no touch screen.The instrument cluster is very neat with the cool blue lighting.When Istarted her up, the engine was pretty quiet, though undoubtedly diesel in clatter. The first gear was a bit jerky though I did not find this in any other gear.The pick up is very linear if the engine is in the right rpm and really moves that bulk very effectively. However if you are not in the right revs, the turbo lag is very evident. This car gets you to crazy speeds very quickly indeed, but you do not feel the urgency there is on the Skoda RS.The ride is taut and handling very good. My first impression on the braking of the Fortuner was quite mis-placed and hence I checked out the brakes on the CRUZ and was VERY satisfied. The CRUZ comes with all wheel disk brakes and despite repeated high speed braking, the fade was negligible.The 6 CD changer sounded pretty good and I am told it has a 6 speaker set up. The rear parking sensors did their job very well.The passive entry system was very effective and all you needed to ensure was that the key was within a metre from the car. The start/stop while being very innovative, takes a bit of getting used to. All one has to do is press the clutch and then press the start button once, the ECM checks everything and starts the engine. We hunted for the fuel lid opener and then finally realised that all one needs to do is be near the fuel lid with the key fob and press on the lid and it opens. The fuel lids stays locked if you move away!!!The cruise control worked beautifully and will be a stress reliever on long open stretches.The car, if priced at 14 lakhs on road, could be GM's charge into the lower D segment. I came back very impressed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
