Roommates buying a Cruze Eco manual

[Northvibe]

its actually pretty darn quiet. I couldnt hear ♠♠♠♠ when driving unless the rpm's were screaming near 7k. When I tried to down shift, it was like...errr I hope I blipped the throttle enough.

No moon roof
no cup holders in rear
no arm rest in rear
no heated seats
idk they could of put door cup holders in the back doors.

Riding in the rear the @#$@#$@#$ #1 thing that bugs the ♠♠♠♠ out of me, is the seat rails from the front seats, make your feet uncomfortable...as they are in the way from having your feet in a comfy spread out position.

The cupholders,armrests thing is to save weight. Only the manual eco cars don't have them. All the other cruzes do. Heated seats bother me.

Well I can justify it saying its made to be eco, but then wtf is up with the fog light covers? They should of just smoothed those over. How light are the rims? The wheels themselves don't seem too areo.. I think the eco could of been a tad more eco by design but as for a first try I give it some props I supose. Ill have to check a focus sfe, I hear they are pulling some high mpg's too.

Wheels are pretty light, 17.5 iirc. I think they did a pretty good job, most fuel efficient gasoline powered car in north America.

[Northvibe]

you are right Maven on the wheel's. They are pretty light. There is no options for light weight wheels yet either. Its a @#$#@$ up bolt pattern. WHY THE HELL does gm do that? So far city driving my roommates are avg'ing 33mpg.

We just made a deal to get the 1.4L turbo engine with 4 miles on it. We are getting almost everything under the hood. We have a customer that wants it for his mini airboat. Can,t wait for the engine to get here.
Thanks, Chuck

Good deal! I'm curious as to how you pulled that off!

And what is happening with the rest of the car? I could always use another race car.

I think it got damaged or crashed at GM. Maybe in some of their testing.
