  • 2011 Cruze LTZ/RS New Daily

    Picked up a 2011 Cruze LTZ/RS, it's a 1.4L Turbo with a 6spd auto trans. Yeah it's a bit of a turd, but what can you expect for only 138hp lol.

    Get it tuned and it'll become a polished turd.
    But really those engines have room for improvement

      Test drove one of them with the lady last year and was let down a little. Love the look of the Cruze. Really do.

      Thing needs that LHU 2.0 turbo motor is what it needs.

      That is still a swanky ride though.

          My best friends wife had one, nice little car. But they had to get rid of it as it had all types of issues of it stalling and shutting off at a red light. One dealership blamed the valve cover, like really a valve cover?..... Several dealerships looked at it and couldnt figure it out. Then had issues trading it in as with all the ignition recalls on them, several dealerships have them on a no trade list. Which became a issue trying to unload it. Not saying you will have these issues but from I understand the 1.4L turbos have problems trying to get them working correctly when they act up.

            Would not be surprised if Pontiac never went under the newer G6's would mimic the Cruze.

              Tell him not to buy a manual car next time.

              Joking ! Personally, I drove a 1.4L turbo and I liked it. I also drove a turbodiesel one and I must say those are awsome !

                They have small issues, coolant leaks, a ground cable issue which can cause a few problems, water pump failure. Mine so far hasn't been too bad. It's not peppy but I also didn't buy it to be a fast car it's a gas mileage car.

                    Too bad it did not work out. I kinda wish you had your g6 back so you could get you a better choice with a g6 to trade in for the choice. Sorry to hear you had those issues.

                      This is the replacement. I am the 3rd generation owner of it. It's a 2001 with 35,000 miles on it.

                            $1500 for the truck, but needed new tires, brake lines, fuel lines, and head gaskets. Dexcool when it sits for a long time is really really bad.

                              if you do it all yourself you could easily flip it. Around where i live something like that would go for double what you paid lol
