2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

[SphinX_21]

How about the item about the slow acceleration of the Cruze A/T?

15 seconds for 0-100kph. Slow for a 1.8L a/t car.

Just stating a fact. Wouldn't that be frustrating?

In comparison, Corolla 1.6L A/T can accelerate 0-100kph in 10 to 11 seconds.

Any fix for that?

hmmm question, where did you got your info re slow acceleration of the car? Because, like what you said for a 1.8L 15sec for 0-100 is slow. Im not an AT user but just want to know where the facts came from. So we can justify those facts.

Mine is LS/AT. I can go 100kph in 10 secs. Just a proper footwork or by shifting to manual mode. I have my 1.6 M/T Altis as my alternate car so I know the difference. Cruze is very stable on the road. You can drive Manila streets at high speed with confidence!

The Cruze isn't a sports car but 0-100 kph in 15 sec is absurd. Blasphemy. The Cruze is much faster than that. You won't find any instrumented testing data from any reputable magazine declaring the Cruze to be that slow.

*shermanWTC/ johnqpublic318 - i agree to the both of you.. and if you want to feel the "speed" you want go and use a MT then compare. or use the manual mode of your car and floor the pedal to the metal... hehehe

i heard their street car edition can go faster (and it's a package upgrade, for people, like me, who have no idea how to do modifications)

For months, I've been monitoring this thread (knowing its ups and downs), and despite the criticisms of some "non-cruzers" who are also visiting this thread, and people outside telling you "why cruze?". . . I will be picking up my Super Red LS/MT Cruze later.

For me, if you'll just open your eyes, cruze has also a lot of cool features that you can be proud of, compared to other cars in its category. (I am wondering why some keeps on emphasizing the bad ones).

I am still worried about "after-sales" stuffs, but, I will cross the bridge when I get there. Let me enjoy it first. And besides, if I'll get a bad service later?. . . I'll just post it here. I'm sure TCCCI will listen and will do something about it.

P.S.

Pa join din po ako club

Congrats to you sir! and yeah your welcome to the club!

Acceleration might be a bit slow compared to it's competitors but it is not really noticeable unless you drive like a race car driver from a pit stop.
Once you're on the go, you'll be amazed how easily it reaches 180kph. Another thing is that it doesn't even feel like your already that fast because of it's superb built and handling.
Cruzers, what's your top speed so far with your cruze?

Still no definite date for the return of my beloved cruze guys.

parts availability pa rin ba ang cause ng delay?

From the link posted above:

Highway and touge warriors alike, however, will find the 6-speed automatic singularly unsuited to hard driving. It’s indecisive and slow to shift, making even simple overtakes an adventure. In hard driving, revving the engine to the rev-limiter also produces some worryingly gnashing sounds from the engine bay.

For a car with a six-speed transmission and a claimed 138 hp, the Cruze’s 0-100 km/h time of 14.9 seconds is pretty disappointing. Even the Cruze’s hefty curb weight and “green” engine (only 600 kms on the clock) can’t account for all of that... as the 1.8 liter Focus is three seconds faster. 60-100 km/h acceleration (which matters for overtaking) takes a leisurely 8.5 seconds. Or longer if you’re cruising in 5th or 6th gear and have to wait for the transmission to downshift. Manually shifting the transmission puts you in the correct gear much sooner, but you still have to put up with glacially slow shifts.

Would you be willing to submit your car to an instrumented test to be done by the guys from www.bigbigcars.com?

guys aanhin ba natin if the other cars are 3seconds faster than ours or what.
di naman tayo sasali sa racing eh.
ang aksidente nga nangyayari sa daan kahit tayo ay sobrang ingat kasi yung iba hindi maingat. how much more kung magmamadali tayo.
so what if we get to our destination 3seconds faster everyday or so when pagdating ng panahon you'd get to that same destination a day more or worse di na aabot kasi sa sobrang pagmamadali eh naaksidente na pwedeng mamatay tayo.
that minor difference in speed is negligible, what's important are those other factors na talagang kailangan natin.

with regards to gold colored chevy cruze, for me i'd pass. kasi previous owner ako ng gold colored chevy optra eh. pakiramdam ko kasi pag pareho color sa previous car at lalo pa ka brand eh parang di brand new, basta gets niyo na.

Para sa akin mahalaga yan bro, in time of overtaking, emergency acceleration.....

yan e sa sarili ko lang....

Would it matter that Chevy claims the 0-100kph time to be 10.8 seconds while reality is not even close?

There is more to speed/acceleration than "racing". You might find yourself in a situation where you would want to overtake another slower car on a two lane road but since your Cruze A/T accelerates rather slowly, it is nearly impossible to do it without almost colliding with another car on the other lane.

And what about the truth in manufacturer claims? If Chevy claims the Cruze A/T does 10.8secs and real world testing reveals its to be 15 seconds... what else would be hidden by Chevy?

The question, why would a car the like Cruze 1.8L A/T with its big engine be slower to accelerate than the Chevy Spark 1.0L (14.6sec) and Aveo 1.4L (13.8)?

Goodevening fellow cruze owners.

Im oliver, I have a Chevy Cruze 1.8LT - Super Red.

I am happy with the performance and features of this cruze. Di ako nagsisi sa pinili ko.. hehe.. I use my cruze as a tool for my work. I love the traction control lalu na kapag na sa baguio ako. I love my cruze

By the way, I am also a car enthusiast actually I am affiliated with clubnissansentra and I'm one of the moderators there. I also own a modified sentra (b14), SR20VE engine inside. I use to join RWYB and Autocross for experience lang hehe.. di ako makapodium

Bakit ganun po yung site ng c3-ph.tk walang masyadong tao.. hehe pero atleast nakajoin na rin ako sa tsikot.

[ghosthunter]

Mabigat kasi ang body ng cruze...

But the Honda Civic with roughly the same weight, engine displacement and engine power does it in only 11.8 seconds?

isa lang ibig sabihin nyan broGH, mas astig ang powertrain ng Honda Civic...

You guys might wanna check this video out, and clock it yourself. 0-100kph. http://www.youtube.com/v/6tD786pP3AA?fs=1&hl=en_US

As for me, I tried it myself on my LS A/T one time I was at SCTEX and indeed it's around 11seconds.

Acceleration might be a bit slow compared to it's competitors but it is not really noticeable unless you drive like a race car driver from a pit stop.

Cruzers, what's your top speed so far with your cruze?

My fastest speed is 180kph as well, but only for a little while. 140kph is easy for the cruze. I mean I've tried driving several kinds of cars. And the moment it reaches 120kph, my grip on the wheel becomes tight, as if to make sure I'm in control of the wheel. But with the cruze... 140kph... relax lang, tahimik pa rin.

[shermanWTC]

No need as I have tested it by myself. I brought this car to different places outside Metro Manila with no complain. What is important is you are satisfied with the overall performance and I found this in Cruze... Sometimes, acceleration depends on the driver.

Cruze's acceleration is slower from stop (because of heavy body), but once moving, the difference will be unnoticeable. Di naman nya ako binigo kanina when I need speed in overtaking. Maybe that's the power of MT

Agree... my top speed is 190kph.

yan sagot mo, wala naman siguro overtake na galing sa full stop.

[radeon]

may kaibigan ako dati na ginagamit niya pang drag race yung optra. optra lang yun ha. just like cruze mabigat ang body at may "lag" sa acceleration pag galing sa full stop.
may ginawa daw siyang adjustment para alisin yung safety feature ng lag na yun. safety feature as in iwas aksidente sa mga mabibigat ang paa.
he showed me the difference in acceleration nung wala pa ibang fine-tuning, yung lag pa lang inalis niya. he drove his optra first, then mine. siya nag drive para walang difference sa driving or techniques. mas mabilis talaga acceleration niya. then he let me drive his optra, galing sa full stop para hanapin yung lag pero wala. then after that drive ko naman yung optra ko, at andun yung lag.

ang importante is yung acceleration when it's already running.
and just like one poster here said, pag acceleration when the cruze is already moving hindi nahihirapan mag-overtake mabilis mag accelerate.
ganun na ganun rin sa optra. same situation acceleration sa full stop at yung tumatakbo na.
