2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

[Epats]

san kayo nagpa-service? you wern't able to get the free first 2 pms package when you got your unit?

No I didn't get that deal. I was one of the first ones who got it when it came out sometime in March. Walang freebies. Ultimo registration binayaran ko. Lucky for you guys you're getting a better deal.

re sa question ko about sa Gas using higher octane than required. Answer found at Wiki.Answers.com. Hope this helps.

Q: What is the difference between super unleaded gas unleaded plus and regular unleaded?

A:

Background Info

Almost all cars use four-stroke gasoline engines. One of the strokes is the compression stroke, where the engine compresses a cylinder-full of air and gas into a much smaller volume before igniting it with a spark plug. The amount of compression is called the compression ratio of the engine. A typical engine might have a compression ratio of 8-to-1.

The octane rating of gasoline tells you how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. When gas ignites by compression rather than because of the spark from the spark plug, it causes knocking in the engine. Knocking can damage an engine, so it is not something you want to have happening. Lower-octane gas (like "regular" 87-octane gasoline) can handle the least amount of compression before igniting.

The compression ratio of your engine determines the octane rating of the gas you must use in the car. One way to increase the horsepower of an engine of a given displacement is to increase its compression ratio. So a "high-performance engine" has a higher compression ratio and requires higher-octane fuel. The advantage of a high compression ratio is that it gives your engine a higher horsepower rating for a given engine weight -- that is what makes the engine "high performance." The disadvantage is that the gasoline for your engine costs more.

The use of a higher octane fuel than required, is a twofold mistake. You are wasting money and can possibly do damage to the engine. Using a higher than require octane rated fuel will not increase performance, clean the engine, or offer any benefits whatsoever. If your engine was designed for 87 octane, then use only 87 octane. If it requires 91 octane, then by all means use 91 octane. The engineers who designed the engine know full well what octane fuel it needs. The octane rating of gasoline determines how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. That is all it does! (Look in your vehicle's owner's manual for information about the octane requirements of your vehicle).

Now, some people believe that using higher octane fuel will clean out your engine. However, higher-octane fuel contains no more detergent than low-octane fuel. If you feel you need some extra cleaning, there are additives that you can get at the local auto shop, but do not use them too much or it will damage your fuel injectors.

That's why for Cruze, 93, 95 and 97 octane have the same performance. So stick to 93 octane mura pa.

nice meeting you guys shermanWTC, eeeeeyaaaan, Elrapidomatulis, dennis22, and empire.

empire yung mga pictures kaso mahaba yun heheh

kung 1 or 2 owners lang sana magcomplain ng sound while reversing, isipin natin na mali lang pagka brake in ng auto....pero maraming units na ang involved...ibig sabihin na may issue talaga tungkol dito...

medyo annoying lang dahil bago yung auto...pero ang mas importante ay kumakagat ng mahusay yung preno.....

I also have this "sound effect" when backing up but then again, for me it is an advantage kasi sometimes kung naka-handbrake ka pero hindi pala fully up maririnig mo yong "ugong" which will eventually alarm you na umaatras ka na pala. Nangyari na ito sa akin several times and because of the sound naaalarma ka talaga.

I happen to tolerate the sound kasi "american car" eh. hehehehe

Kongrats sa mini-eb nyo mga fellow 'cruzers'. Next time kasi agahan nyo naman, alam nyo naman sa bundok pa ako umuuwi eh.

Basta ako available lunch time, C5-Pasig-Shaw edsa areas.

1. fuel cons ng ls m/t
2. after sale service ( chevy pasig )
3. over-all comment/ratings nyo sa car.
4. any problems that you encountered sa car mismo.


1. fuel consumption is now more or less 8.5 km/L but still rising. it started with aroung 7 km/L lang. My theory is because while the car is still new, everyone likes to play around with it so driving habits are different

2. can't comment here

3. It's pretty great in my opinion. the only downside is that it's really heavy, so it has a slower acceleration compared to the others in its class. For me, it's not that big of a deal because I don't race or anything. But maybe one day, when I have a little extra cash, I might have the car turbo charged
All in all, it would still be my choice if I had to choose all over again.

4. Slow acceleration (not that big of a deal); can't open the trunk from the driver's seat, you have to take out the key to open the trunk or press the button sa trunk to open (hassle to sa mga guard before entering a mall); the standard USA safety feature na nagoopen yung air vents every once in a while so that may oxygen parati sa loob ng car (malas na lang kung may katapat kang jeepney kaso mga 3-5 seconds lang naman every like 1 or 2 hours

BASTA, IT'S THE BEST CAR IN IT'S CLASS IN MY POINT OF VIEW the best thing is it's fresh and very luxurious

many thanks for the info... i will meet my SA again for a real test drive...

Goodmorning mga cruzers! Nice meeting some of the other Cruzers, hehehe. Sayang hindi ko na inabutan si sir dennis22, gusto ko din sana makita 'yung mga mods nung kaniya. Next time siguro mas madami ng pupunta. Set lang ng date sir eeeyaaan. Survey na lang ulit kung saan 'yung mas accessible na location.

GoGoGo mga Cruzers!
