What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze

2012 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Rear seat legroom is a bit tight with the front seats fully back. see full Chevrolet Cruze review
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Unfortunately there is no leg room in the rear of the car when the front seats are a particular distant from the dashboard. So either all the people when riding in this car need to be small people like no more then 5 foot?! or you can only have two 6 foot people in it at a time. needs serious improvements there! see full Chevrolet Cruze review

2012 Chevrolet Cruze Powertrain: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The car from the beginning has been having trouble responding consistently throughout the whole time that I have had the vehicle. Sometimes accelerating too quickly and other times really sluggish! Shifting irregularities, which include roughly shifting and sticking between shifts in certain gears, and furthermore fuel efficiency being irregularn and inconsistent. see full Chevrolet Cruze review
