MagnaFlow wrote My sister picked up a chevy cruze a few months ago. Its a 2014, and its been nothing but a pain in the ass. A week ago the water pump went out, and it turns out theres a recall for it. The car is super slow and hard to get uphills (no joke, not saying it has to be a fast car but this thing is ungodly slow) and it has a funky tranny. It shifts hard as shit and feels like a slip effect. Hers is auto btw. I say go for the dart.

On a side note, have you looked at a ford fusion or Taurus? The new ones are great

Thanks for the input on the Cruze. I have thought about the Fusion Taurus, and Lincoln MKZ but I'm going to budget myself a little because this is just a car for the MPG. I'd love to jump into a Taurus, but they are really expensive and on the lower end of the MPG. The MKZ is also down there in MPG, but I love the interiors of them. I do like the look of the Fusion, but it's still 5 MPG off of the Focus. It's 2 off from the Dart, so I might look into a couple used ones. I've set my budget at 15k and I don't really want to go above that lol.

Props to you for limiting yourself, I struggle with that haha. Told myself I wouldnt spend more than 3k on mods for my mustang and here I am at $5800. Its in the shop getting some comp stage 2 cams in it and some new stronger rods. Luckily I have a buddy doing it so its cheaper than a shop, but I really need to save for college haha.

I hear you on mods lol, did the same thing to my truck. I think I'm in about the same amount as you.
