Yep. +1
Or...buy a used Camry with 50-60k miles on it, you will still save tons compared to new and will last you forever. I bought my corolla with 55-60k miles and doubled it..still drives great and I believe the camry would do even better. Last time I was in a Cruze in passenger seat my head was touching the roof (2013 or 2014 model?) I am 6ft 6 but the cruze was cramped and lag it did..1.4 turbo with manual trans. I know a few people here have them and like them, but it wasnt for me. Guy who owned it seemed to like it. I think Toyota's are far superior in how their cars are laid out and easy to work on, but they wont win for style or power (fun).
I'm 6'6" and had to make some minor mods to the seat to make it go back a little further, but it is height adjustable and excellent for long trips because of the highway gas mileage (around 38-40) and nice, quiet ride. I agree with everyone else about the light steering, but it doesn't wander. I have been using 92 octane for the summer, which took care of the lagging issue. I highly recommend the Cruze. BTW I paid $15,200 out the door (that even included plates for 2 years) for my 2015 1LT automatic with 2,500 miles (former dealer rental/service loaner car) back in January 2016. They depreciate pretty quick in the first few years and are an excellent buy used. Basically, take care of it and it will take care of you.
