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.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.
