The Cruze was launched at a time when Chevrolet was struggling to rid itself of previous associations with the Daewoo budget brand. This Focus-sized model was initially launched in 2008 as a saloon, but estate and hatchback variants subsequently followed. All used well-proven parts from its cousin (and competitor), the Vauxhall Astra. Following Chevrolet's decision to leave the UK market, now could be a very good time to look at an affordably-priced used example.
Chevrolet is a massive name in the global car industry but the brand never quite made it in the UK. That doesn't mean that some of its products don't make a lot of sense as used buys though - and here's a good example. It surpasses any previous Chevrolet offering in terms of quality and is priced low enough to make it an attractive budget option. Overall then, the Cruze delivers on what this American brand is really all about. Its core strength remains the value proposition on offer but with sharp looks, a good safety spec and a decent quality interior, it has the capacity to surprise you if you're prepared to look beyond the obvious candidates in your search for an affordable compact used family car.
