We have another turbo car in our family

picked up a 13 lt cruze turbo with the rs package for my wife.
With the chevy mylink pioneer radio.
I was so impressed with my gas mileage we fighred we would look into the cruze.
Its a great car and should get us right around 40 mpg plus on the higway.
10 airbags and a touch screen radio system that has outstanding sound.
And oh yeah a turbo.

The 1.4L turbo puts out 138 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque and they do look nice.

Turbo sounds good..though in this case its used to get the power to be comparable with the other non-turbo cars of the low powered 4 cyl class..makes me wonder if its worth it when you consider the maintenance and cost once things start wearing/breaking

Looks pretty close to the one above same color too
And yes the turbo is worth it for the additional gas mileage and hp and torque that is available down low.
Gm is definentley holding the power at 138 more available
