Chevrolet Cruze
The meticulously assembled Cruze has a remarkably quiet interior and one of the largest trunks in the compact category. The biggest news this year is the availability of the 151-hp 2.0L turbodiesel developing 264 lbs.-ft. of torque. Only available with a six-speed automatic transmission, it is particularly well equipped. With a $25,000 turbodiesel right in the middle of Volkswagen’s yard, a comparison is inevitable.
