The 2012 Chevy Cruze and the 2012 Honda Civic have been labeled as "very similar" and "even in a lot of categories". This may be true, but after today's review of these two compact cars we think you will have gained an understanding on which vehicle is a better choice. Let's be honest, the 2012 Cruze didn't receive the U.S. News and World Report award for "Best Compact Car for the Money" for nothing.
Have you heard of Eco? If you haven't, it's definitely something worth familiarizing yourself with. The bottom line with Eco is that this technology on the 2012 Cruze is going to give you some of the highest highway gas mileage on a gasoline engine in America. 42 MPG to be exact. That's simply something the 2012 Honda Civic can't compete with.
Let's talk utility. The 2012 Chevy Cruze and 2012 Honda Civic do match up comparably in head- and legroom, however they don't in trunk space. The Cruze is going to give you an additional 3 cubic feet of more cargo volume than the Civic meaning the advantage here goes to the Cruze. You'll appreciate that extra trunk space at some point down the road.
Safety is always an import issue when you and your family are on the road. You'll be comforted to know that the 2012 Cruze had you and your loved ones in mind when it was built. While both vehicles received Top Safety Picks, the Cruze managed to snag a 5 star rating in comparison to the Honda Civic which managed to score a not very impressive rating of 3 stars. Let's say you do end up getting in an accident. How does 10 airbags sound? The 2012 Chevy Cruze is one of the few compact cars on the market to offer that many.
A few last comments. The 2012 Cruze offers more torque and also offers a more extended warranty on it's powertrain/drivetrain, which is a 5 year 100,000 warranty in comparison to a 5 year 60,000 warranty offered by the 2012 Honda Civic. Chevy Runs Deep.
