How fast do you set the cruise. I run a few more miles than you per year with my Cobalt but still average 40 mpg life times with just holding it between 55-60 and smart coasting, if I had cruise I'd use it.
There's cheap today but expensive tomorrow. I paid $7000 for my Cobalt XFE, 200,000+ miles later strong as ever. I'd rather make payments for a 3 years and own the car for 10 than buy 15+ yo other people problems. Paid the same for 2010 Cobalt front end collision with 28,000 miles and hasn't been as good as my hail dented XFE but still good($600 BCM).
As a 50 yo guy with 18+ yo kids. If I needed a new car next week/month I'd like the idea of a Mirage, but I looked at a hail dented Cruze LTZ not long ago for under 10K and under 30,000 miles. Instead of buying something 15 yo junk with no warranty I'd buy a low mileage rebuilt title car and plan on running it at least 200,000 miles if not 300.
IMO if buying a car don't buy a 1-3 year car, look for a 10 year car.
