thats the start/stop button.

. (peps). manufacturers also like to call them keyless and GO.~ bmw, audi have them as standard.etc.

a unique feature found only on this car. and not even in cars like the accord or superb. i think they have it in the outlander.

in passat you have to insert the key fob into the chrome plated slot for it. and then push it in to start the car. but no buttons. so this is quite a luxurious feature to have.

Congrats Chitshar! Great choice. Looking at the amazing design, the poweful mill and the features, I see a winner from Chevy. This should be a good competition to Civic looking at the features, the power and the best part, a diesel engine. Awesome!

You should thank God and this forum for not buying a Laura.

the photographs taken by you are outstanding. It really shows the high paint quality of Cruze. Did you treat your drive with a Teflon coat?

Since you drive a lot on the express way, how are the headlights on the highway? I guess Cruze is the only car over 12 Lakhs with single headlight unit (dual filament bulb).

Wish you a very safe cruzing...

Headlights are quite good a lot better than my city. High beam illuminates the road to good distance.

How good is the underbody protection? I had a real problem with my Ford Mondeau where I hda to get 1/2 engine replaced twice because of stone hits to the oil sump.

Chitshar, your car looks fantastic in this colour. Last week I booked LT in white colour. I drive a lot on very bad roads. I am worried about the ground clearance of Cruze. Any experince of cruze scraping the speed breakers?

Awesome looking car...congrats.
Happy and safe motoring

GC is very good. No problem. Better than Jetta Laura Octavia and Civic.

Chitsar, nice purchase. I will be booking automatic version of the cruze next week. I wanted to ask if you have faced any trouble/issues with the car so far? It has been more than two months since u bought this beast, do you still get the same thrill driving this car? What all accessories/mod you have done in your car?

Divesh, is the Cruz AT being launched next week? Is this dealer info or read somewhere?
Cheers.
