TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze

| Year | Comment | |
| The Cruze's rear seat is among the tightest in a compact sedan, and the diesel engine doesn't affect this. Though rear seat headroom is abundant, adults will feel a bit cramped even behind a driver of average height. The Jetta's rear seat has a little less headroom but far more legroom. So the best option depends on whether your rear seat passengers have long legs or long torsos. see full Chevrolet Cruze review | ||

| 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 |

TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze
| 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Powertrain: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| When questioned about the middling EPA city figure, Chevrolet suggests that the Cruze Diesel should be bought for its performance as much as its efficiency. In an odd turn, the diesel engine happens to have 13 more horsepower than the gas-powered Cruze, 151 vs. 138. This even though diesels don't excel at peak power, since they cannot rev as high as gas engines. How might this be? Well, the diesel engine is much larger, 2.0 vs. 1.4 liters. Diesel engines do excel at midrange power, and that in the Cruze is no exception, with 264 lb-ft of torque at 2,600 rpm (and 280 during ten seconds of "overboost") vs. the 1.4T's 148 lb-ft at 1,850. However, in practice, the diesel seems only a little quicker than the regular Cruze, and there's more lag while the engine's fuel system reacts to the instructions of your right foot and its larger turbo spools up. Both engines have modest oomph at highway speeds. There's also some initial lag in the Jetta TDI, but its dual-clutch automated manual transmission is far more responsive than the Chevrolet's conventional six-speed automatic. Add this to the Volkswagen's more nimble handling, and it's considerably more fun to drive. see full Chevrolet Cruze review | ||

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 |
