2012 Chevrolet Cruze ECO

Manual Transmission, 6-Speed
1.4L Turbo
33,502 miles, 80% Highway

I bought this car in February 2012 because my job at the time required a lot of driving.  I have since been promoted and I am now racking up sky miles instead.  This particularly optioned Cruze ECO is hard to find, and I will list the options that are nearly impossible to get below this description.  This car is great and it is hard to let go, but with the other two paid for, we just don't need it.  It easily gets 45+mpg on the highway at 70-75mph, if you are careful and keep it between 60-65, you will get 50mpg.  City driving is not as good, but at 32-34mpg, I really can't complain. :)  Car is much bigger than it looks, we have 2 kids in car seats that fit comfortably in the back seat and it has a huge trunk.  I put Lamin-X film on the back taillights because I though it made the car look nice and they can easily be peeled off with no damage/residue should the new owner want it off, but I recommend you see it in person first.  I also had a Trifecta "Intelliboost" tune applied at around 1000 miles (after break-in period) and I have been running it ever since without any issues whatsoever.  The tune is active when the cruise control switch is in the off position and the factory tune is engaged when the cruise control switch is in the on position.  It is a night and day difference in power (see dyno graph in pics).  The car as a few chips/scratches that I have captured in the pics, as well as some bumper scuff from a beautiful tire tread thrown from an I-30 18-Wheeler near Little Rock that I just could't avoid.

Hard to find options on this car:

Black Granite Metallic paint
Color Touchscreen with Navigation
Bluetooth and iPhone support (I use my iPhone 5 with Rhapsody, Pandora, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, iTunes, YouTube and Netflix (Audio only, Not while driving, of course!)
Pioneer 9-speaker option, includes center channel speaker in dash and dual subwoofers in back deck.

Standard options include:

Motorized Louvers in lower grill that close at 40mph to deflect airflow and increase fuel mileage
17" ultralight (17lbs) forged factory wheels
Goodyear Assurance low-rolling-resistance tires
Lowered 1" all around from the factory using sport springs - this is 1" lower than standard Cruze (Non-eco models) and was done to increase fuel mileage with the bonus of better ride and handling
Power windows, drivers seat, locks
ABS, Traction Control, Stability Control
6-Speed manual transmission
Factory trunk spoiler

Things I added:

Tinted windows all the way around
Tinted tail lights (with removable Lamin-X Film)
Smoked Chevy badge and trunk chrome (removable)
Full front covered with 3M Clear Bra (VentureShield)
Removed Cruze/ECO badging for a clean look
Trifecta "Intelliboost" tune


Please feel free to ask any questions.  This car is for sale locally as well and can be closed at any time.  The title is held by the bank and when I am paid, I will have title within a week or two (depends on bank) and will send it to the new owner.  Feel free to call my at 501-257-7478 with any questions you may have.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
