Buying a Cruze, need input

[renzo_d10]

I have driven it and it is truly just a cruiser in engine power & suspension setting. Definitely not powerful since the acceleration is relatively sluggish.

Comparable to an Optra ? Sheesh. :doh:

Hi TS

i was in your shoes like two months ago, my choices were focus, fiesta, the lancer ex gls, and the cruze. i scrapped out FORD from my list coz of their very bad sales support, unhelpful at all... so i was down to lancer ex gls and cruze. both cars are great but i felt more comfier with the cruze.both are hot cars but i really prefer the looks of the cruze. although acceleration is not the great i still chose the cruze since i dont have any plans racing in the city streets or join any car race at all. if you want a cheaper option then get the lancer ex gls na.

hindi naman...

segro optra times 1 million = cruze hahahaha

Brand advocate or protecting your sales commissions?

Your post above is somewhat personal. You have to prove and not assume that I get a commission for any vehicle sales I do. To tell you honestly sir, I don't get any commission from any vehicle sale I do in this thread or any other sales referrals I give to my sales consultants.

I see your personal bitter posts regarding Chevrolet sir. Do you have any personal grudge with the brand or with anybody sir? Did you own a Chevrolet before? Have bad experience with our service? I want to face this head on and see if we can do something to fix things up.

I'm serious sir. Our company is ready to listen. We are doing things to better our service but your posts seem to paint a deeper hatred. I hope you give us this chance to improve our services and not shoot us everytime you get a chance.

I appreciate you honest reply. Thank you.

Ako meron brad. ;) Chevrolet Optra 1.6 LS & Venture V6 LT

Ngayon dumadami na owners ng Cruze. Sana maging masaya sila.

I don't think GH owns a Chevy. Probably, one of his relatives did. But him ? Nah. I'd doubt it.

Ghosthunter focuses on performance. Enhancing the engine of his car and driving it to its limit is his thing. And, admittedly .. this is something Chevy cannot offer.

Totoo naman sinasabi nyan ni GH. Though, yeah, I'm wishing that Chevy is doing something to make their after sales better and have people regain their trust once again.

Isama mo pa maintenance cost ng Captiva

Ang gandang CUV sana eh, lalo na yung 4WD. Leather seats, HID at step board nalang oks na.

[ghost recon]

my piece of advice...

stay away from the brand if it pisses you.

that's all.

kelangan pa ba i-remind sa inyo to *awalit?

Actually, panalo yung Captiva. Looks pa lang, diba .. Siguro kung naging uhm .. Nissan nalang yun. Baka dumami siya sa daan.

Sayang.

Yep. Just saying some inputs that might help others decide on whether to go on or retreat from purchasing a chevrolet.

Hindi rin. Kung Nissan sablay din. Kung magiging cheaper (not Cheap, kasi what to expect from American cars) at maayos ang maintenance ng local dealers ng Chevrolet, mas dadami ang Captiva sa daan.

Yan nalang kulang namin. Ayoko naman ng Rav-4..

[renzo_d10]

Remind ? Nah.

Update ? Yes.

Kasi as of now, I see no changes in Chevrolet's after-sales. Diba meron isang tsikoteer that has been waiting for months para sa parts ng Chevy niya ? ...

*SG : Atleast malamig A/C. :rofl01: Nagkaventure & Optra ka na ... if ever bumili ka ng Captiva you more or less know what should be expected.

ito ang mali sa atin eh, titingin sa badge tapos makikinig sa reviews ng iba na mahirap ang maintenance, poor service ng casa etc.

ito ang maganda kung marunong ka talaga sa sasakyan, meaning hindi ka kailangan tumingin sa badge at umasa sa service lang ng casa, given that you have the money, marami at maraming shops ang pwedeng magservice ng kotse mo. (pwera lang ang chinese cars please)

so far, masaya mga bagong owners like me. hehehhe. Let's also consider the car and not only the dealership. Maybe the old owners of Chevrolet or current owners are also learning from past years, thats why as mentioned here, they are trying to improve their aftersales.

No offense kay GH, wala naman pala siya first hand experience with Chevrolet and Cruze at that.

Cruze ang topic ng thread, although aftersales is also important. Eto rin mga pinoys that belittles non-japanese cars, kasi sanay na sila sa japanese cars are number 1.

If gusto ni GH performance, nandyan ang "bumble bee", dont tell me camaro is not a good performance car.

how much ba ang maintenance ng Captiva? is it comparable sa mga diesel PMS? if gas Captiva, is it a big difference sa GAS SUV PMS?

I have no idea kasi, so best if meron tayo cost to back it up.

Example, my Strada has a high PMS cost, but I don't hate the Mitsubishi brand for it, I blame the dealers/owners of the dealers for pricing it that way.

If I remember it right .. there was one poster who had a problem in his Optra. He opted to have it serviced outside CASA and the shop was having a hard time too sourcing out the parts. At nung nakakita na sila ng possible na pagkukunan .. mahal.

[[archie]]

i saw our neighbors 2010 captiva getting towed. from that pa lang ayaw ko na. 2010 na oto titirik? kahit ano pa reason kung bakit tow, its less than a year old!

EDIT: kung may pera, it does not mean gugutuhin mo gastusin sa pyesa ng oto. lower maintenance and parts, the better.

May kamahalan siguro bro. Uhm .. a little higher than uh, Montero siguro. Guesstimate. I didn't know that Strada's PMS were expensive .. Diba nasa " fair " level pa siya ?

Sorry for the OT.

ayun lang. anyway, owning a Cruze means you're not a low baller that is for sure. tsaka basta alaga ang sasakyan, kahit Toyota o Honda pa iyan kung mamalasin ka talaga madadale ka rin hehe.

Saan kung hindi sa Casa?

Yung hindi ma-void ang warranty mo.

Tapos ka na sa 1K PMS?

If gusto ni GH performance, nandyan ang "bumble bee", dont tell me camaro is not a good performance car.

Genesis Coupe parin ako.. Bargain price na eh.

Kung gusto ko ng Performance car from Chevy, diretso ako sa gray market. Chevrolet Corvette :diablo:

Kwento lang naman sa'kin 'to nung classmate ko that owns a Captiva.. [SIZE=1]Chiks pa :naughty2:

[SIZE=2]5K PMS = 7K pesos
10K PMS = She paid or her Parents paid 11K or 12K AFAIR..

I find it too expensive. Sa Tucson di pa umaabot ng 6K ang binabayaran ko. Kahit sa Trooper na kakarag-karag na..
