Kupriyanov Dmitry: Good afternoon. I hereby want to express my positive feedback
Good afternoon. I hereby want to express my positive review of the Autocenter City car dealership. Before the New Year (in December 2012) I bought an Opel Astra at Autocenter City. I really liked the service. I would especially like to note and thank sales manager Nikolai Romanov for his professionalism, customer focus and simply responsiveness and honesty. Nikolai really helped me choose the most optimal offer within my budget (without trying to sell something and use money, as is done in many salons). If I had my own car dealership, I would hire the guy to work for me). Thank you, I will recommend it to my friends. Best regards, Dmitry.

It has become a good tradition to celebrate a visit to the City Auto Center in 1905 with a short comment. This morning at 9:15 I arrived at TO-2, personally to Alexander Golubev. Met with a smile and attention. He asked in detail about the problems that had arisen, quickly completed the paperwork and picked up the car.
I decided to observe the maintenance being carried out. I met no resistance. I signed for the security measures and Alexander politely invited me into the technical area.
The master was also Alexander. He had a powerful build and intelligent eyes and immediately inspired confidence. Not so much for control, but to learn for myself, I was present at all TO-2 operations. The master answered questions intelligently and gave advice on maintenance. Alexander Golubev entered the technical zone several times. I immediately realized that the control over TO-2 was at the proper level! In approximately 2.5 hours, all operations were completed. I received complete satisfaction from the service of my car. Saying goodbye until the next maintenance, as a sign of gratitude, I firmly shook hands with master Sasha and Alexander Golubev.
It’s a pleasure to write kind comments, and by and large there was absolutely nothing to complain about.

The Chevrolet Cruze is a reliable vehicle that can easily withstand dynamic operation and does not require special investments for the first 2-3 hundred thousand kilometers traveled, which ensures price fixation for secondary market. When choosing a used Cruise, drivers often pay attention to the condition of consumables and appearance car than on technical components, and therefore carrying out cosmetic repairs will increase the cost of the car. 
Is it profitable to buy a used Chevrolet Cruze hatchback?
From an economic point of view, a used Chevrolet Cruze is optimal car in relation to price and quality.

It's worth knowing! A Cruze with an automatic transmission on a diesel engine is the most economical option for driving in heavy traffic: the car’s moderate appetite with high agility and high torque will significantly reduce fuel costs without losing transport dynamics. If you want to drive a manual, it is recommended to choose a model with an engine capacity of 1.8 liters on gasoline and install a European gas equipment– the design of the engine and the volume of the trunk suggest the possibility of such an upgrade.
Common Chevrolet Cruze diseases: what to look for when buying?
Body coating - galvanized metal has high strength and resistance to corrosion, however, the paint coating quickly becomes covered with chips and cracks when driving on dirt roads or garage-free storage.
The trunk release button fails in the event of sudden temperature changes or storage in an unheated room in winter. A malfunctioning button causes even new batteries to discharge, gradually deteriorating the battery's properties.
The timing belt is a potentially dangerous part. The belt life is about 60,000 km, after which replacement is necessary, otherwise the part may break bent valves engine, which will cost a pretty penny. Also, during replacement, do not tighten the belt too much to avoid premature rupture.
During intensive use, problems with the manual transmission may appear in the region of 70-80,000 km when switching from first to second gear. This is explained by the failure of the clutch disc, due to a violation of the integrity of the damper spring structure - this breakdown is considered a factory miscalculation and, if handled poorly, may require repair of the gearbox.
When purchasing a car with an automatic transmission, do not hesitate to test-drive the gearbox: Cruze hydraulic mechanics are reliable system, however, with a mileage of 150-200,000 km, dips may be observed when switching to upper gears. This problem occurs as a result of wear of the channels in the valve body, which will cause expensive repairs.
Chevrolet Cruze is reliable car, which, with careful operation, can withstand up to 300,000 km without the need for major renovation, however, if you purchase a used car, you should full diagnostics all vehicle systems.
Long-awaited Chevrolet replacement Lacetti represented by Chevrolet Cruze took place at Paris Motor Show in October 2008. A sedan was presented to car enthusiasts; the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback appeared only two years later, in 2010, in the same place, in Paris. debuted on Geneva Motor Show
Teiwan Kim, an auto designer who previously worked for FIAT, has been working at the Korean branch of GM since 2006 and is the inspiring designer of the new Chevrolet models Cruze. Before Cruise, T. Kim also put his efforts into creating the appearance Chevrolet Matiz and Chevrolet Aveo. The new design embodied in the Chevrolet Cruze has nothing in common with boring Chevrolet Lacetti. A review of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze can begin with the courageous front of the car with a two-story false radiator grille, harmonizing with a brutal bumper and original-shaped headlights. The slight squinting of the front lighting gives the car confidence bordering on aggression. Muscular front wheel arches pass into the quiet sides of the body. It is clearly visible even from the photo that the sedan and hatchback differ from each other only in the design of the stern. The coupe-shaped roof (a fashionable feature these days) descends to the small trunk lid of the sedan, the roofline of the hatchback flows harmoniously into the fifth door. On back Cruze clearly lacked aggression. The body of the Cruise sedan looks lean, but unpretentious rear bumper and dull lighting equipment are dissonant with the courageous front of the car. The 2013 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback looks more interesting in the rear; the sloping roof gives the silhouette a beautiful, finished image. The original lampshades are like drops, the bumper with stampings and reflectors continues the sportiness of the front end.
Cruze sedan and the hatchback with their dimensions are very close to the dimensions of a car of the “older” class-D.
- Dimensions Chevrolet Cruze: length - sedan 4597 (hatch 4510) mm, width - 1788 (1797) mm, height - 1477 mm, wheelbase - 2685 mm.
- Clearance (ground clearance) is - 155 mm.
Ergonomics and interior trim
Inside, Cruz pleases with pleasant-to-touch finishing materials. Steering wheel- copy of the steering wheel Opel Insignia, the dashboard architecture with smooth lines and the concept of placement of controls also echoes it. The fabric inserts on the front panel look original. Beautiful and informative devices, their illumination at night pleases the eye and decorates the interior of the Chevrolet Cruze. The front seats are comfortable, with a wide range of adjustments, plus the steering wheel moves in four directions. It will not be difficult for the driver to get comfortable. The back row can accommodate three, but the middle passenger will not be able to sit comfortably. Surprisingly, with such a large base, legroom in the second row is in short supply. People taller than average may experience unpleasant “pressure” at the top of a sloping roof.
- Trunk The Chevrolet Cruze sedan has a useful volume of 450 liters.
- The trunk volume of the hatchback body is smaller - 413 liters, but by folding the rear row you get 883 liters of useful cargo volume.
Specifications and test
Key technical characteristics of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze: the car is built on new platform Delta II. Front suspension independent with A-frame lower arm(made of aluminum) and McPherson strut, rear - semi-independent with torsion beam. Front and rear disc brakes with ABC.

Chevrolet Cruze dimensions, the volume of its trunk and ground clearance are of interest to all potential buyers of this wonderful car. In today's article we will analyze in detail the dimensions of the trunk, dimensions and Chevrolet ground clearance Cruze.
Let’s say right away that today Cruz is sold in Russia in three body styles. These are the Cruze sedan, hatchback and Cruze in a universal body. The length of all cars is different, however wheelbase and the ground clearance is the same. The cabin is equally spacious in all three variants, but the size of the trunk varies significantly.
The ground clearance of the Chevrolet Cruze is one of the most important factors for operating the car on our bumpy roads. The manufacturer himself claims that Cruze ground clearance is 16 centimeters, however, as the measurement shows, it is protected engine compartment, this figure is about 140 mm. It is worth taking into account the size of the wheels and the profile height of the tires that are installed on the cars; this may change the Cruise's ground clearance. The manufacturer itself offers as standard wheels install 205/60 R16 or 215/50 R17.
Let's start the review of sizes with the Cruise sedan. The length of the car is 4,597 mm. wheelbase 2,685 mm, Chevrolet Cruze trunk volume 450 liters. The luggage compartment volume is small, since the designers gave more space to passengers. Detailed Dimensions the sedan is slightly lower.
