2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

[eeeyaaan]

*mtbjr: are you sure naka pindot yung dalawang lowermost buttons? (climate control and the other one for circulation of air?) for some reason, this always turns off after the cruze hasn't been used after a few hours

[KrisKros]

The left knob (temp control) is at the leftmost (coolest).

Sayang at di rin ako puwede sa SAT at 1st bday ng bunso ko, nag-text pa naman si sir awallit to inform me about the EB.

i'll just share my experience w/ the test drive.
at first the SA had the air blowing but no cold coming out. i thought.."damn this aircondition sucks...my old 92 sentra beats this.." then i asked him why it's not cold. n he fiddled around and said he forgot to initiate some control. once it turned on..the cabin became pretty chilly after a a short bit. Fan was at 3, then i turned it down to 2 after some driving. Out of the cars that I drove, the Lancer EX and Chevy Cruze had pretty good a/c and it was a hot day.


=EB * TAGAYTAY=
Saw this on facebook. Sounds great! Be sure to post pics

Yung climate control lang ang naka-pindot sa lowermost row, naka-ON lang yung air circulation pag may passenger sa likod pero pag pumapasok ako sa work ay di ko ito pinapagana.

Pero the setting has been like that pag pumapasok ako ng tanghali for more than 2 weeks now, sobrang init lang talaga kahapon at nasa 39 degrees ang nasa LCD kahit naka 3 na ang fan speed.

Masubukan nga mamaya na turned-ON yung air circulation. Thanks for the tip!!

May malaking improvement yong ginawa kong experiment na binalutan rubber ang ac pipe. This saturday, papalitan ko na ito ng 'foam tube' and tape it with the alluminum tape. Will let you know guys kung mas nag-improve ang lamig sa loob.

Recently, nasa #1 lang fan ko at left-most naman ang temp pero pag dating ng 9am i have to shift to fan #2 kasi medyo di na kaya ang init sa labas.

[Chadzxp2]

Hi Ghosthunter:

Tks for reminding me about that Hyundai Sonata, indeed I agree its an "awesome" car! For me and others though the Php 360k difference is a significant amount. As I wrote earlier, the choice depends on knowing what each one's priorities are amongst the various features or benefits each brand/car brings. Price aside, the Sonata is a much bigger car, nicer ride I see when I test drove one. Definitely a nicer responsive engine, but also higher fuel consumption I suppose. Aside of cost, 2 things let me ponder about the Hyundai. The test unit I tried suffered from low speed downshiftin shift shock similar to what Honda's are known for, the SA could not explain why. I also find the front grille to "much" hehe. If I chose to spend, I am tempted by the Kia version of this car, the styling is nicer, but horror stories about Kia service quality also give me a bit of a pause. And talking of repair costs, Hyundai parts I recently found out are NOT always low cost, the brake pads of my inlaws 2008 Grand Starex cost a whooping Php 9k/6k for all 4 wheels! My surprise was that it needed replacement at 15TKms, hmmm, for brake pads thats too much! Total PMS cost with oil change came up to PHp 24K!!! No other repairs, just the recommended maintainance...so the diesel fuel cost savings were anyway eaten up by PMS costs...In the end, if anyone cares, total cost of ownership is what matters so this includes repairs AND resale value. For the Chevy, I guess we may lose Php 100k more than a Japanese brand upon resale for cars of the same mileage or year model. Time will tell, though I really wish GM fixes up its service quality, customer service and parts availability fo the sake of new Chevy Cruze car owners who have gambled their hard earned cash on this new car. I remain on the sidelines watching this story unfold before I decide if I will get a Cruze, as usual patience has its advantages. Though the recent cash discount offered to me by an SA at Pasig is tempting hehe.

Yes na test ko dati to sa Chevy Pasig matagal na kaso dalawang ikot lng sa area. Hanapin mo si Allan. Nasa 23K yan. Plug and play lang yan. I want to test sana kahit mga 2 days but don't have time.

Actually, just adding PHP360K to the price tag of the Cruze LT would get you a car with good refinement, smooth, quiet, spacious and comfy luxury car. That car comes in the shape of Hyundai's Sonata at PHP 1.36M for the base model. And it is quick with it's 2.4L engine producing 178hp.

A great looking car that has a 5 year or 100,000km warranty. (What was Chevy's warranty again? 2 years, was it?)

My only beef against the Hyundai Sonata is the ugly plastic backs of the front seats...

A Toyota Camry would cost you around PHP100k more than the Sonata. Driving the Camry, you can't help but feel the car has gotten old and the interior does feel very dated especially when compared to other cars available today of the same class.

Hi Chevy Cruze Club members,

Can you help me, ask if a Chevy/GM Car owner like me, (I own a Chevy Zafira and Opel Astra), join your EB? I want to hear more of your ownership experiences, and also compare the qualityof one car to other cars/units to see what differences may exist. This is a useful way to really see what the typical quality is. I don't need the free breakfast, just to be allowed to attend will be ok.

[desert fox]

shhhh huwag ka maingay baka ako pa pagawin nila, ang hirap kaya

hahaha, sisig at redhorse pwede na sa iyo di ba? jk...


Sa tingin ko sa iyo bro, masinsin ka sa mga bagay bagay...kaya hayan nahihirapan ka tuloy....sa akin kasi ang ginawa ko ay mga platic straps lang...isang plastic bag...kada isang piye meron nun...kako, kapag nasira, madaling palitan....foam at straps....

Ginawa naman ng mga Singaporeans, rugby....dinikitan nila foam then sa mga pipes....

sa kaso ng gagawin mo, talagang mahirap pero talagang walang kawala ang lamig....derecho sa cabin..... like yung nakikita natin sa mga split types na AC...

Payo ko sa mga cruze lovers o maski anong sasakyan, gawin nila ito, malaking tulong sa atin at sa sasakyan...(di masyadong hirap AC compressor)....
