Chevrolet Cruze
This compact sedan has created quite a stir with its modern design. It has certainly come a long way compared to the Cobalt. The Cruze LT and LTZ are equipped with a 1.4L turbo. For 2012, Chevrolet has made a few minor style changes and added a manual gearbox on the LT. Also available is the Eco version, which offers better fuel economy and making it one of the most frugal cars on the market.
