White, white half carriage roof, white leather interior. It was awesome. Navy blue carpet and dash top.

I had one of these. It was an 88. It was just like this. Triple white. I miss it.

Well said, Travis.

Or even better, a Chevy SS. Manual. I would really like to see how the daily driver does with something so fun. Also, the resale value shouldn't be an issue due to one being sold once ever 4 or 5 weeks or something.

Toyota FJ Cruiser. It's not exotic, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun.

I've had my Cruze for almost a year. It has been in the shop exactly once for a recall. It was an easy fix. I've done the routine maintenance myself. I have 10K miles on it after 10 months. I took it to MA from NC which was a 2311 mile trip that I did in a weeks time. So yeah, I'm pretty comfortable with the fact…

Always good to hear! I feel like they are abused as rentals so when I see someone had a good experience, it makes me believe that they are good for the long haul.

True statement.

I guess our experiences are just different. Like I said earlier, my Cruze's have never had the issues you speak of. Their interiors have lasted and held up very well over the years and many miles. Also, referencing the Cavalier when comparing it to the Cruze is harsh at best. If Chevrolet built the Cruze to Cavalier…

FYI, I can't seem to reply to your post about how many Cruze's I have had. So here it is. For a while, (and maybe still) I have had this overwhelming urge to trade cars. Bought a new Cruze, traded for a POS Ford. Traded that for ANOTHER POS Ford. Traded that for another Cruze. Traded that for an Equinox. Traded that…

Also, one (or even two) bad experiences with two different classes of two different rental cars does not a shit car make. Making generalizations about all Cruze's or Sonic's based on your 5 minutes with them is a little unfair don't you think?

I have one with the fabric on the dash. I have had it for almost a year now and I wipe it with a damp (not too damp) cloth. Works like a champ. Thanks for your experience!

How many miles on the cars? Including your Suburban. I drove a Cruze manual with over 90K of hard, abused miles and it drove and rode just like the brand new one I just purchased. The interior held up remarkably well too considering the abuse it took.

I have the turbo 4. Yes. I took it through the mountains from NC to MA in August and had no problems going up or down grades. It really does do the torque thing pretty well. Well balanced. It's not going to throw you to the back of the seat but it does the job and does it well.

Quick question, have you ever driven a Sonic or a Cruze? I have owned a few Cruze's and currently still do. I love it. It's comfortable, quiet, nice on the inside. The Sonic, even though it's a class below, still feels solid and well built to me. I'll give you the Aveo but that was years ago man. Move on.

That's incredibly unsettling.

I always hoped that car would be fun but I never thought it was. Hoping this one will be better.

I feel like they could be a major player with these new vehicles if they market them right. They aren't unattractive.

Haha. That it does.

Smart's entire lineup.
