Needin' a new DD

[Dale_K]

Check out a new Chevy Cruze. The base model is very inexpensive, very safe (10 air bags), comes with a manual 6 speed and it's very solid. Comes with power windows, locks, XM and Onstar. Not especially fast obviously. I've acutally seen ads in the Little Rock paper for brand new Cruze LS (base model) at $14,995. I have one and find it pleasant to drive. The base model doesn't have cruise control but it's easy to add a $160 aftermarket unit that integrates with the electronics.

p.s.
Anyone own a Hyundai Elantra or Sonata or Kia Optima? I live near a dealership that I pass when biking. Those are some great looking cars and consumer reports rates them highly. Some get 40 mpg and are hardly what I would call tiny strip down econo boxes. parked next to a 3 series Bimmer I would say the designers earned their pay this year. I hear these $199 a month deals on the TV and it seems to good to be true.
