I mean it sounds reasonable but 2k is really too low for trying to pass someone, while 1700 works just fine for cruising.
Well fifth is probably more use at around 80 is my guess
In a way I'm surprised they put a 6spd in
Its for fuel economy, and it shows
6spd cruze averages 35 to38mpg
5spd manual jettas get about 29 or 30
5spd corollas typically get like 32.
And they all have roughly the same amount of power.
They actually might get rid of the manual for the cruze now that fuel economy standards have been relaxed. It was basjcally the only reason they made it.
Got great fuel economy, but they actually made money on the sales unlike most of their hybrids
Tho they dont sell many
Murica needs to stop using garbage autos
For about 6 years now autos have been capable of providing better fuel economy than manuals, but most of the slush boxes in us cars are still prehistoric
I guess the fuel economy difference is smol and somewhat irrelevant when fuel is cheap
The eu has so many bs emissions taxes that any tiny improvement is massively beneficial even if it's fairly expensive
That is partly why
But honestly, in higher end cars there actually _is_ a noticeable difference.
Ex: US spec BWM 340i automatics get about 3 mpg better than the manual.
But that's a $40k+ car. There is a lot less room to make a better auto when your car is half that price like a Cruze.
Plus there is market differences.
People who buy the autos just want a basic, convenient car that gets at least okay gas mileage, but dont care if its the most efficient thing on the planet
I'm not sure if people buying brand new cruzes have fun in their mind at all
people who tend to consider fun on car purchases are usually either younger or wealthier, rarely both, the latter case lets a buyer look at more expensive options, the former usually results in second hand purchases
Maybe its sample bias, but the people i talk to who buy manual cruzes do it because its cheap, has a manual, gets 40mpg, and has a turbo.
At least the ones my age.
On the other hand, like i said, they dont sell many manual cruzes
Or...really manual econoboxes in general.
I'm a fan of my Nissan Leaf
Instant torque
Really though it's got really high torque
I usually keep it in eco mode though
Very funny meme
That's not a meme...
I like the leaf
Its probably the best election car around
Electric
Also election
Well I would vote for anyone who drove a Leaf in an election.
The leaf seems alright from what i hear.
