Test Drive Chevrolet Cruze HB5 since 2011 Hatchback

Symbol of rebirth

Lacetti was a good car, but was not a real Chevrolet. The current Cruze can also be called 100% real, but, as they say, closer.

The people of the uninitiated can even believe that in front of him the true Chevrolet, at least appearance eloquently testifies to this: it looks like a brutal (for a golf class sedan), like a modern front-wheel drive impala or even the Chevrolet SUV. However, in essence, the machine is more interesting than the original American Chevrolet: in their homeland they ceased to invest the soul, moreover, they began to be lazy using very cheap plastic in very expensive cars, dubious ergonomic solutions are used (for example, two separate buttons for folding the side mirrors) in Korea learned how to make cars so that some Japanese firms would envy. Thus, Chevrolet Cruze becomes the right purchase: Beauty and quality are rarely rolled in one package, and here just an example of a successful crossing of a smart Asian approach to creating a car and American manner beautifully draw them.

Portrait
Even in the basic configuration Cruze at least a slender car. And in front, so generally handsome: predatory eyes, a two-storey grille of the radiator (like the traditional large SUVs of this brand) to measure causing, a pleasant car without special complaints.
Not bad and Salon: Cute, even advanced design, but painfully resembling the latest Ford models, decent finishing materials, quite acceptable space, decent ergonomics (in this respect, no expensive Tahoe is not a comparison with Cruze).

The car is designed for a person who needs to just ride. Acceleration, smoothness, manageability, Cruze brakes everything is calm and unobtrusively, without rear, without fire and nuances. As a robot. In general, it is unlikely that it can be called an alternative to Honda Civic, but some Corolla is completely.
