    It will :)

  3. I have traveled on a Cruze
    For its price range I would say it’s one of the best cars you can get (if not the best)
    Absolutely nothing to say about the exteriors, a little cheapy the interiors but, if you consider the price, that’s what you should expect.
    The design of this car is excellent. Nothing to say, really.
    The dashboard lighting is a bit too luminous, but can you really consider this a defect?
