You need millions of pesos to buy a hybrid car.

What we have is the ECOTEC engine which is 1.8L. The ECO version is the 1.4L turbo charged engine with special aerodynamics and weight reduction.

Bro Hanz, i have a pm for you.

Better go and see Mr. Awallit personally and use your charm for the freebies. Kanya-kanyang diskarte lang kasi yan bro.

Ok sir. Salamat

[emman_jacq]

Molino? maybe it was me? Did the black LS have no plates?

As for the HIDs..i talked with Westgate Alabang and they gave me a quote of around 8k, not sure if labor is included or not. I say not too bad for a CASA price..since aftermarket HIDs usually range around 4-6k nowadays.

traffic that time po tapos asa likod ko kau,, yes sir wala papo plate. kasi i know may taga cavite na naka black,, nice too see you yesterday, hehe, thanks po sa advice, i will call westgate para dun,,

[ivancruze]

guyz i just want to clarify, wat is the maximum rpm of chevy cruze 1.8? some sites says 4000rpm some says 6300 rpm.. kinda confusing??

based on the tachometer, it's 6.5k. why are your concerned about this?

Yep, the states has the 1.4 turbo engine. I guess to compensate not having the turbo they made the ones here in this part of the world 1.8L engines to get a better power/weight ratio.

I just saw another black LS without plates as well. it could have been him too hehe

Question is ... what is the brand of the HID being offered ?

Not too sure of the brand bro. If I find out i'll post it here.
I was thinking of getting HIDs too just in case the illumination at night wasn't that great. With the fogs on along with the headlights.. I'm able to see perfectly


Guys.btw, What does the "Menu" button do on the left hand turn signal do? I've been pushing it and nothing happens.

Hi Guys!

I'm getting a chevy cruze this week. I've been following this thread for two weeks now and I guess over excitement got to me, so here I am finally speaking up!

hello chevy cruzers!!! lol

Need your advise on the ff:

I'm contemplating whether the LT's premium price is worth every penny vs the LS A/T. What do you think?

Also, which is the better color? Super Red or Moroccan Blue?

I personally like the super red, but thing is I wouldnt wanna be driving a car that has the same color of every cruze owner around...

Moroccan blue is nice, but i think super red just pops out on the road effortlessly - Plus, its a little too manly for me? (I'm gay. lol)

I saw the velvet red, they have one in chevy makati but i cant choose it as its the same color of our current FD.

I test drove the cruze last week, from Buendia all the way to MOA Grounds, and much to my surprise, all the negative feedback i've been reading was not really that much evident in real life.

for one, i tested it at around 230pm, the aircon was working well. not mainit.

two, it does have this fume coming in from the outside, but it was negligible.

three, ive been reading how much it lacks power vs its heavy weight. i say it just takes a little while to get used to how the cruze is program to work, steadfast gas pedal to get the most acceleration result.

fourth, the handling is very nice. its similar to my ford focus 2.0 sport.

Anyway.. i'm dealing with Chevy Makati. heres their rates:

LS A/T P908,000.00
Discount P50,000.00 (we bought an aveo this year too, so our agent said it was a very special price for a loyal customer as the usual discount is P30k)

LS A/T Total PHP 858,000


I'm trying to look for other LT owners who had great deals with their casa.

CHEVY makati's LT is priced at P 1,048,000. They said LT have limited supplies thats why they cannot afford to give me the same Php 50k discount of the LS AT. They said the best discount they can offer is Php 30k.. Is this for real?

Can i get a better deal from another casa?


Your replies will be deeply appreciated.

[drecs]

Morning Sir`s and ma`m where do you think i can get a LANES product here * our country .. particularly on Super Cut > Gold Edition > Super Seal...

planning on self DIY of wax and paint protection my self .. mas makakamura ata ako nito hihihi at pwedi ko ituro pa ky Mrs

[drecs]

I just saw another black LS without plates as well. it could have been him too hehe



Guys.btw, What does the "Menu" button do on the left hand turn signal do? I've been pushing it and nothing happens.

HI Kriss yeah there are several Black cruze around here at Cavite nowadays , and i think it became a favorite of the southern buyers .. hehehhe



*charriolKid congrats on your new selected car.. regarding LT and LS :
LT variant has Traction control system, auto climate control, vehicle stability enhancement system, rain sensor, 17" magwheels, automatic folding side mirrors, chrome door handle
then all the other safety features comes along with interiors and exteriors goes with the LS variants ..

regarding the pricing and the discounts you might wanna check every dealers showroom in order to bargain your interest .. especially it`s december time you might get a Good deal after all ^_^

More buyers go for the pewter grey sir. White is for those with very clean touch and have time to wipe and go.

But one Grand Master here who owns a white is opening his car as a canvass... and is very happy to own one! He he.

Personally, i like the white.

=) This color decision will definitely go down to the wire. My wife will arrive earlier than me and hopefully able to get our Cruze by this week. I can't wait to go back to Manila this Christmas to see it. White or Pewter or maybe Red...???? I have to go back to the dealership and look again.

Anyway, I test driven the eco engine here in US and it is really better than the 1.8. Power, acceleration and fuel cost. Kainis bakit wala sa Pinas. =(

As for the trims, the LS version in Phil is better than here. They use hubcaps instead of mags. (Yes, chromed hubcaps!). Fake.
At ang nakakapagtaka, dito walang nakainstal na fog lights ang LS, pero sa Pinas meron. =) Baligtad na ba ang weather?

But the LT version is exactly as in Phil...except the 1.4 turbo charge eco engine. Haaaaayyyy...=(

Got another question. Where to get the best chrome trims for Cruze locally? Meron na ba? Sa casa ba magpainstall o bili na lang ebay at DIY?

Thank you!

for whatever its worth, my cruze's engine sprocket gave in last monday (hence the check engine indicator going off) went to my dealer tuesday (chevy shaw) s.a told me that they will have to request for that part kasi nga it's not readily available.come wednesday i made a follow-up to the parts requestor (mam julie) and she told me that saturday is the delivery time for the sprocket that was requested,told her that i have a scheduled out of town trip on saturday and i'll use my cruze so i requested her to fast track the delivery because this will be inconvenient on my part.Julie didn't promised but said she will try to have the parts ready before saturday.true enough she called me thursday morning informing me that the requested part is ready come lunchtime, i immediately went to their shop 130pm and the service people began to work on my cruze.their office is only til 5pm but they extended til 545pm til my cruze is perfectly fitted with a new engine sprocket.sometimes we just need to be open to the service centers so that special accommodations can be arranged,im very happy with the service i got from chevy shaw hence this story of how customers must be taken cared of by dealers. i do hope other chevy service people realize this (dont even know if this little win by chevy shaw will be read/circulated to the other dealers) but i guess they are really trying.

I will soon be a Cruze owner and reading this positive story makes me want the car more. To all, if you have any positive experience with after sales service of your Cruze, please share with us. Thanks! =)

[KrisKros]

*:charriolkid: Congrats on choosing the Cruze! You're absolutely right, the car speaks for itself during the test drive. As for the LT vs the LS, the LT has features that I could live without. I could turn on my wipers on my own once i sense rain There's also side airbags I believe when it comes to the LT, so that could be an advantage if you're a huge safety guy. The 17 inch rims do look better too. But as for performance, size, it's all the same. Even if I had the money for the LT, I would probably still stick with the LS and just buy add ons instead.

Choosing the color is so hard, because ALL the colors of the Cruze look good!
