Thumbs up The New Cruze LTZ RS

Here's the new Cruze. I decided to buy instead of lease as it made more sense after I did some math and put the numbers together. I just happened to stumble across this Cruze last week doing some searching. 2011 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ RS. Basically the same car (minus Chevy MyLink) as the brand new one I test drove. 1.4L Turbocharged Ecotec with 6 speed automatic transmission. 30 mpg combined (36 Hwy). 37k miles on the car. Black granite metallic exterior, jet black leather interior, remote start, heated seats, heated exterior mirrors, moonroof, MP3 input, 60/40 folding rear seat, etc. I get three months of satellite radio and OnStar for free. So far I really like the car and the ride. The interior is actually very roomy for a sub compact car. The car is in very nice condition and was hard to pass up. I still have the Monte, it's not going anywhere.

The first six pictures are from earlier today after clearing the snow, then some from the dealership. Obviously none of these are that great because the car is covered with snow. When I get a chance, and the weather cooperates, I'll take some better pictures.

Thanks guys! Yep it's a DOHC inline 4. The 1.4L Turbocharged Ecotec pushes 138 hp @ 4,900 rpm and 148 ft-lbs at 1,850 rpm.

i really like the Cruz, especially with the RS trim.
