They are very well equipped and have a high safety rating even higher than FG Ford. Holden are selling the Cruze at a very good price for the options the car has so they will sell well
I tested the Cruze CDX auto petrol while looking for a new car for my wife and they drive well with low noise for a small car and bit under powered but they feel cheap. The Kia Cereto Coup has a better motor and looks good for under $25,000 but Kia's problem is it's badge so resell drops but I thought it was a good car for the money and drove better than what I would have thought a budget Korean car would of but they have VW's chief designer on board so things are happing for Kia's brand name.

We ended up buying a Mazda 6 Touring wagon and having owned several Mazda's they are well built and reliable plus resale values hold up well.
But the Mondeo Zetec wagon was her next choice a good car but some interior issues was what my wife was not keen on.
