Thread: Hiter pregled: 2011 Chevrolet Cruze eko

To je globalni recesiji, GMs stečaj, in maso potrošnikov opuščanje velikih šport-gospodarske javne službe, vendar Chevrolet je končno zgradili velik majhen avto. Pred kratkim sem stopil na krovu 2011 je Chevrolet Cruze v varčevanje z gorivom, Eko trim. Ceno na $18,895, je Cruze Eco funkcije mpg mislečimi dodatki, kot so ultra-low-vozni-odpornost pnevmatike in veter varanje telo trim. Ne bo si-tech a Prius hibrid, čeprav si ne moremo trditi z ocenjeno 40 mpg povprečju med highway vožnja.

V bistvu, svoji dolgi pogoni, ki bi iz najboljših v Cruze. 138-km 1. 4-litrski turbocharged 4-valjni motor je zelo mirno, medtem ko je vožnja je ostalo stabilno in udobno tudi na rutted (in pokrita s snegom) ceste od New York City. Sem okleval, o 6-stopenjski ročni menjalnik vgradijo v svoj test avtomobila. Seveda, Chevy bi lahko gotten veliko prav z Cruze...ampak menjalnik je zavezuje, da se počutijo kot mešanjem gruel z leseno žlico, kajne?

Presenetljivo ne! Sklopka je enostavno modulacije in da ukrep je v veliki meri pozitivne, celo neustavljiv občutek močen plastične srečanje trdne gume. 6-Stopenjski avtomatski je možnost za $925. Električni volan je prišel za nekatere kritike za to, da twitchy, čeprav sem ugotovila, da je prijetno in natančen, ko kocke s prometa na New Jersey mitnici. Tam je prostor za pet odraslih in postavitev pomišljaj je logično, z vse kontrolnike, ki pametno dati.

Prtljažnik, medtem ko večinoma neizkoriščena med moje vikend z vozilom, ponuja priročno, 15. 4 cu. ft. sobe. Da bi moralo biti več kot dovolj za vleko prijatelji in družino na in iz letališča JFK, brez takega, ki presega prostor, ki se oni mislijo, da lahko ostanejo več kot teden dni. In medtem ko se je v zunanjosti ne push koli oblika ovir je v Cruze, ki je prišel v skoraj univerzalno pohvale, z več prijatelji ga kliče srčkan in res dobro videti.

It took a global recession, GMs bankruptcy, and the mass consumer abandonment of large sport-utilities, but Chevrolet has finally built a great small car. I recently stepped aboard a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze in fuel saving Eco trim. Priced at $18,895, the Cruze Eco features mpg-minded extras like ultra-low-rolling-resistance tires and wind cheating body trim. Its not going to out-tech a Prius hybrid, though you cant argue with an estimated 40 mpg average during highway driving.

In fact, its long drives that bring out the best in the Cruze. The 138-bhp 1. 4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is very quiet, while the ride remained steady and comfortable even on the rutted (and snow-covered) roads of New York City. I was hesitant about the 6-speed manual transmission fitted to my test car. Sure, Chevy might have gotten a lot right with the Cruze…but the transmission was bound to feel like stirring gruel with a wooden spoon, right?

Surprisingly not! The clutch is easy to modulate and the shift action is largely positive, even if the overwhelming sensation is of chunky plastic meeting solid rubber. A six-speed automatic is a $925 option. The electric steering has come in for some criticism for being twitchy, though I found it to be pleasant and accurate when dicing with traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike. There is room for five adults and the layout of the dash is logical, with all controls intelligently placed.

The trunk, while mostly unused during my weekend with the car, offers a handy 15. 4 cu. ft. of room. That should be more than enough for hauling friends and family to and from JFK airport, without having such an excess of room that theyll think they can stay more than a week. And while the exterior doesnt push any design barriers, the Cruze came in for near universal praise, with several friends calling it cute and really good looking.
