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.

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.
