2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

[ghost recon]

tsk tsk tsk, lot's of people are making cruze's acceleration a BIG deal.

ok naman yong cruze and one thing it's not design as a sports car.

those who want to try 0-100 kph in 5 seconds, try mine. its on my SIG

Di naman cruze yan e.

GC yan e. Modded pa. Syempre what do you expect ?

[ghost recon]

i got cruze on my garage also.

just wondering why lot's of people are making big issue on it's acceleration.

maganda naman ang cruze. there are lot's of area where the cruze excels and acceleration is not its forte. then again, so what?

I don't see it as a big issue.

It's just a mere " hot topic " for the day.

Acceleration is a big plus when overtaking.

Para hindi ka mabitin kumbaga.

When you're needing some fast sprint, kakailanganin mo ang acceleration power.

And yeah, GH is pointing out that 10.xx seconds from 0-100kph in the A/T cruze is somewhat impossible.

15s is acceptable since it's what they got when they tested it in the " real world " using the " real gadgets "

Pointing out a fact or whatever isn't bad in a forum.

Kung wala yung mga yun, it's gonna be boring and uninformative.

If the acceleration power doesn't mean anything to you then what's the point of testing your GC's 5 second to 100 sprint ?

Can you list the website link to those other data you are referring to? It is kinda difficult to find performance data for the Cruze 1.8L A/T.

Manufacturer data says it's supposed to be 10.8 seconds but real world test by bigbigcars.com said a different thing.

Most data for the Cruze is 0 to 60mph (96kph) with the 1.4-liter turbo 4. The 1.4 turbo has the same horsepower rating as the 1.8 but the 1.4 has 20 lbs-ft more torque. The 1.8 is rated to be slower but not that absurdly slow.

Go Google 'chevrolet cruze 0 to 60 mph' and you'll find that the Cruze sprints to 60 mph quicker with the automatic than the manual. (Most news is on the Cruze Eco which is essentially the same car but more aerodynamic and a bit lighter.)

A 1.8 test is rare but there are a few.

Car and Driver, Road & Track and Motor Trend tests are all "First Drives" and their 0 to 60 numbers in the 9 to 10 sec range are still estimates.

I'm not making an argument here but I will stand by my opinion that bigbigcar.com's 0 to 100kph test at 14.9 sec is unreliable.

[ghost recon]

ok, to shorten the story, why just leave cruze acceleration to be just that. i like my cruze to be like that and probably so with the other owners.

by the way tc327, i still have a modded navara on my other garage. do you want to test it also?

[renzo_d10]

Probably it's already time to make a different test using a different unit ?

Niky & GH, a probable yes ?

Those who wants to have their car tested, just tell them and i`m sure if they're willing to do it, madali lang naman humanap ng sched. Lalo na kung weekends. He he he.

[ghost recon]

Renz hehehe alam mo na

nasa tagum ka lang naman pala eh.

do you want to try my nav also? PM me if you like.

[renzo_d10]

Kapag triny ni brader TC yung mga kotse mo, wag ka magagalit pag tinotal wreck niya ha.

Kasi naman, baka lumipad siya sa sobrang bilis niyan.

[ghost recon]

If the acceleration power doesn't mean anything to you then what's the point of testing your GC's 5 second to 100 sprint ?

if my GC is concerned then power is a big issue since it's clearly written that it is a sports car.

if it for the cruze, it doesn't matter since it is not a sports car. so ok lang sa akin kahit abutin pa yan ng 15 seconds. kapag cruze kasi gamit ko 90 percent hindi ako nagmamadali.

i'll make sure he will not do that

pero grabe naman, pahihiramin na lang i-total pa.

Boys..

Yun nga, kasi ikaw may sports car. So in cases na magmamadali ka, gagamitin mo GC mo. What if yung Cruze lang ang only car ?

One more thing,

Hindi ginawa ang cruze para maging 2nd car lang or maging " cruising " car lang. Im sure it is made for every purpose, medyo lacking lang talaga sa acceleration which is quite a dismay for others. Ngayon, if others will claim it to be 10 seconds to 100 which is obviously not ( according to bigbigcars which I respect ) e, parang stir yun for the buyers. Hindi accurate kumbaga. Lie.

You got the point.

Well, I don't mind having a slow sedan. In fact yung Optra ko noon talagang mabagal ang acceleration eh. Pero that's a big factor IMHO.

Kung may pera naman like ghost_recon, eh madali lang pabilisin ang Cruze ;)

[renzo_d10]

And yeah, most of the people here are basing the 0-100 acceleration on international tests.

Ibang bansa yun, guys. Yung sa BBC, local. Malay natin yung hangin dun iba sa hangin dito. Less drag dun, kaya napaabot ng 10. Who knows.

Sana kung may video kayo or whatever diba ? Na ginawa niyo in 10 seconds. Dito sa Pilipinas.

try back reading nga.

iba kasi pilit sinasaksak sa cruze ang hindi naman kaya ng cruze.

meron pang test to support na ganun lang talaga kaya. seguro naman yong mga bumibili ng cruze hindi karera ang hinahanap.

OT

walang initan dito, usapan lang...

Kasi iba ang environment dito sa Pilipinas at sa ibang bansa. Iba rin ang climate, ang "kapal" ng air.

May effect lahat yun sa air drag, engine performance, etc..

Emergency situations na di kaya iwasan.

Yep, wala. Discussion lang.

[Djerms]

I dont think its a big issue, the acceleration of the cruze. But as what Renzo said its vital for some buyers to consider overtaking power. Hindi naman kasi lahat ng tao kayang bumili ng GC and kayang mag mod ng mga sasakyan nila.

I find it hard to bring your car out of the garage and set a mindset: "I will not overtake because I am driving a slow car...I will try not to overtake because my car is slow and for cruising only...I'll just do the overtaking some other time when I'm driving my sports car"
