The 150 bhp should feel really good. Is the handling and braking sporty? Or is it aimed more towards the luxury end?

The features like parking sensors, keyless entry and stuff are really great for a sub 20L car.

Congrats on the first Cruze here, the car looks fab in white and the rear room doesn't look too bad in the pics. The engine sure is a stonker. Please more pics and indepth review. Weren't GM reworking the ecu for reduced lag, but still 150bhp diesel is mouth watering.

The first time I saw a cruze was on the basement of a GM showroom in October first week. Its a real looker. Love the shape of the front door! Car looks great in white. Congrats!

Congrats Varun, The 4th picture is absolutely wonderful. Whats with these modern cars with gear levers integrated in the extended dash ?!

congrats on choosing to Cruze, Varun. The car's a looker. Treat her well, and take her to highways often, where she belongs.

Spot on. Capable highway cars come into their own when their legs are allowed to be stretched. Conversely, city driving of such capable cars have a way of frustrating quickly.

Cruze is definitely a nice vehicle to have !! Congratulations mate !!

However, upon my test drive the car I found turbo lag too high according to my taste in B2B traffic and interior space was much lesser than that of my optra.

Awaiting your intial detailed review
