the 1.8 liter base model is 3150 lbs roughly. Im a hypermiler, so sluggish is what I do anyways. Its my driving style. The front grill is black and all i do is use gorilla tape on the grills for a block and I will install my scan gauge 2 and use my PSI inflation strategy to match the ECO's mpg. The accord is not as good on gas and it is more expensive.
I tend to look at best value for money. And I care about safety since I have a little one. The Cruze is a smart compromise in every category in my opinion. At 17000 CAD... In my opinion its a steal.
When I look at a new purchase I look at maintenance cost. Safety. (if you're dead hypermiling means nothing) MPG, Insurance cost, Since te base isnt a turbo model ins will be cheaper.
