They arent as bad as some people point out, theres just a few bad stories that get taken out of context and exaggerated a fair bit which happens with all cars.

Agree. We test drove both petrol and diesel. The mrs only wanted auto so the diesel was def the way to go. The auto diesel is a nice combo. Yes the Cruze is priced slightly higher than some other rivals but when you compare the features of all the price is comparable if not better (eg some "Standard" cars in that range they advertise don't come standard with all the airbags/saftey pack which was neceassry for us)
