Hi All,
Long search hunt comes to end with Cruze, got the delivery on 20th April 2012.
Other cars considered and reason for not selecting them before going for the monster.
1. Honda City: Liked the drive, but missing basic features like ACC and too common car made me not to go for this car.
2. Verna VTVT SX(o): Booked this car even though handling was not so good, even during test drive I realize steering and suspension are too soft and driving around 100 Kmph was also not giving much of confidence.(Special thanks to nickandre ownership thread which has highlighted the issues with verna)
3. Verna Crdi Sx(o): Heard from many that diesel is better in terms of handling and road grip + diesel advantage. So changed the booking to this one, but at home including myself no one was really convinced with build quality of hyundai. Specially the quality of doors they're feather lite and for sure they will start to rattle.
4. Rapid Diesel: What a car, superb drive and build quality. This car forced me to re-consider my decision on verna. But verna big feature list was missing in this car and which is little disappointing.
5. Mahindra Xuv500: Took the test drive, was not so impressed with drive quality, from inside it was giving more of jeep kind of feel rather than a luxury feel. Steering column was hitting the leg and all. Moreover hell long waiting time.
6. Cruze: Took test drive simply awesome, big feature list, nice black leather interior, sunroof. Clutch was bit hard but not a dealbreaker as I am used of driving diesel cars which usually have bit tight clutch.
Completed 2200 Kms so far, getting a mileage of around 11-12 in city. Mostly bumper to bumper traffic
