Last week I gave a little hint to those of you on Facebook that I had a fun giveaway coming up and it had to do with this little beauty.
It’s a Chevy Cruze Eco. (In case you weren’t sure).
{And no, I’m not giving one away. If you want a Chevy sm465 have a peek at this website instead) Thought I’d clear that up before we moved along. But I AM giving something else awesome away. Read on!}
I was given the opportunity to test drive a Chevy Cruze this past week. I know. How fun is that?!
The day it was delivered, we waited anxiously for the car to arrive. And we were not disappointed. It’s just a classy car. From its USB, Bluetooth and OnStar technologies, to its 5-star crash safety ratings, it’s hard not to be impressed. The fact that it has the largest capacity trunk among competitors is a big plus to me as well. With all of our summer traveling, we need all the space we can get!
My all-time favorite aspect of the car? The Chevy Cruze Eco is the most fuel-efficient gasoline-powered car in America with up to 42 miles per gallon. I had the car for the entire week and only used half a tank of gas! (And I promise I drove it as much as I possibly could.)

When I asked my 5 year old what his favorite part about the car was, he said, “Riding in it.” (I’m pretty sure he would have slept in the car too if I let him!)
If you were to ask us what our least favorite aspect of the car was, my husband would probably tell you that he felt like he was a little too tall for the car. He never felt like he fit quite right in the driver’s seat. (Which was fine with me–that meant I could drive it all the more!)
But overall, we had a fantastic experience testing out our Chevy Cruze this week. I will miss driving her around town, chatting with the Onstar people when needed (ok…maybe once or twice when it wasn’t needed!)), and the money that we saved on gas. It was a good week…sigh.

I am a follower on Facebook. I visit your page at least once a day but most of the time several times. Thanks for the chance to win.
Safety by far is the thing that is most important to me.
The most important things to me in a compact car are SAFETY (side air bags would be great!), and fuel economy because it is better for our environment and easier on the pocketbook.
I’ve been thinking about downsizing from my mini van, and this looks like it might be just the car I’m looking for! Love the gas mileage and cargo room!
I like you on FB as Jay Cee.
Fuel economy is so important. However, I don’t like too small of a vehicle because then I can’t be the fun mom to takes friends to places with our family.
Thanks for saving me money with all your information on Facebook! 😀

I follow you on FB and Like your page. Most important features of a car are cargo space, torque, and safety. Availability of navy blue color is a plus ! LOL !

Safety is the most important- followed by fuel- efficiency.
I follow you everywhere & posted the tweet too 🙂 Most important quality to me is fuel economy. I drive everywhere with my boys and in a couple months I will be returning to college to add more road time. Spending as little as possible on gas is critical for me when I’m on such a tight budget.
I already like Cha-Ching on a Shoestring on Facebook also.
I would expect a compact car to be good on gas mileage…so, probably what I’d be looking for is space (room for me & my family to be comfortable + room for groceries). Thanks for the giveaway.
Most important features are safety, comfort, fuel economy and appearance. (Definitely in that order).
