2001 Chevrolet Cruze review from Japan
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet. Only have had this car for one month.
General comments?
1300cc engine is too weak for this size (weight) car. Runs fairly well on flat terrain, but slows down on grades.
Seating is good, but a little more comfort is needed.
Driver sits in a high position and has excellent visibility to the front. Rear visibility somewhat poor.
Car bothered by crosswinds due to height and possibly narrow tire treads.
165X65X15 tires do not provide enough stability. Car tends to tip when cornering which gives driver a somewhat uncomfortable feeling.
A good car for flat terrain country in which high winds are not common.
