I Guess aprarently GM got the top 4 best cars for your money..... Didn't think the Volt would be on there because of its $40k price range but I guess in the long run it pays off? & thought the Cruze would of made the list also..

Cruze should be there instead of the Volt, but they have to push the Volt somehow. Cruze is selling like crazy, even if they don't claim it to be one of the best cars for the money.

If I had a bigger driveway, I'd own a Cruze.

Would be perfect if the current Tahoe was priced like the Enclave, that would be an awesome package for the money

Agree on the Cruze... I saw a black one driving at night next to me. Its really started to grow on me. Love the look of those headlights! Looks pretty mean looking imo!

I think a 2 door Cruze like this but have the backseat windows be smaller? Would look pretty sick!



Or this hatchback & have it compete with the Subaru WRX

I agree, I rode in a Cruze for the first time last week (Cruze Eco with the turbo 1.4L and 6 speed automatic), I was VERY impressed.
Rode real nice like a much bigger car and was super tight/quiet structurally.
We took it to the drag strip that day and my friend (who weighs over 300 pounds ) ran it to a best of 16.8 too!






Wow, that could be pretty hot.

GM really hit a homerun with this car. It really is miles ahead of the Cobalt/Cavalier that it replaced in the lineup. My sister is new car shopping, and I'm practically throwing her in front of the Cruze. It really is a tough car to beat for the price.

So the Acura TL is on there twice because you can get a manual transmission in it?

The CRUZE is one thing... Everything else on the list is a stretch, to say the least.
That one looks like it's already trying to BE a Subaru WRX! Is there an AWD option on the CRUZE? If they added that, then a 300hp engine, they could call it the XRW and compete with the WRX!

Thing I hate about the cruze is that 6spd auto, stays in 1st gear to long and shifts up and down constantly....plus the drive by wire has that sec hesitataion. Great lookin car with a great lookin interior but that transmission drives me nuts, get a manual one if u get one

whats wrong with a malibu? ive heard and read nothing bad about them.

It'llrun

A friend got one about a week ago. I went over(with several other people) to celebrate his birthday and saw his newest car. He retired from the NAVY as a Master Chief(that's E-9 for those who care) and for some reason I cannot explain(or even figure out), he has another job and he drives about 80miles each way for work. I asked him about the shifting and he said it's been good so far, but he doesn't beat on it. He got the "42hwy mpg" model. It's decent looking, although white, and has 16's, which I wasn't expecting. He also said he is getting 42mpg on the highway.

It's not about having anything wrong. It's about honestly being a "best for the dollar" vehicle. There are choices which cost less and get better mpg and hold up well, etc.

The "42 mpg" eco has a manual and 17" wheels.

I own a 2011 eco. My total average as shown by onstar is 41mpg. I can consistently get 42 mpg around town if I grandma it and have seen 53 mpg on an all highway trip.

It is an amazing little car.



As far as the malibu, the new eco one is about 25,000 and is rated to 37 mpg. I don't think that is too bad for a car that size.

Anyone else think Chevy needs to make a Malibu SS model
