Cruze Diesel Review by Green Car

Came across this review of the cruze diesel and have to say I was impressed by the writeup, pictures and found the following two quotes to be very telling of just how well Cheverolet nailed the new Diesel Cruze.

Quote 1

Driving the Prius for mileage was an annoying affair, requiring me to putter away from stoplights and hang out in the slow lane on the freeway as other cars passed, just so I could come up short on the EPA-estimated freeway figure. It was tiring and tedious.

Quote 

While the diesel engine deserves a lot of praise, the reality is that I'd be ignoring the sublime 9-speed automatic. GM has just nailed this transmission.

Over all this guy says this auto was snappy, responsive and quieter than a cruze gas ICO version.

GM needs to apply these same traits to all their product lines.

37mpg avg is pretty good, but at $24K MSRP, one could step up to a mid hybrid like Fusion for just a bit more and get 42mpg avg.  The Accord hybrid gets 48mpg avg,  I believe Diesel fuel costs more as well.
