THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPEEN Chevrolet Cruze LS

PRICE AS TESTED: $14,995  OVERALL RATING: 68/100

POUND FOR POUND SCORE: 4.4
 
HIGHS: Ride, quietness, agility, transmission, solid feel, front-seat space, crash-test results.

LOWS: So-so fuel economy, rear-seat space

TALE OF THE TAPE: The Chevrolet Cruz might not be excellent, but it does nearly everything very well, and with its low-entry pricepoint, the Cruz boasts a dominant PfP rating. It’s a small, fun car that handles well and is responsive to the driver’s commands, has great safety ratings and sports an interior that would feel at home in a more expensive vehicle. The Chevy Cruz’s solid performance combined with its low cost make it an incredibly smart buy.
