Feature-Filled Rising Stars: Consumer Reports Praises The Cruze and Malibu

When you are in the market for a new car, there are a couple of elements that you will always deem the most important. If you are planning on having your family in tow while you drive, reliability and safety are always among the traits that will rank highest. We were happy to hear that the Chevy Cruze and Malibu were selected in the Top Ten Picks for Consumer Reports this year, an honor that solidifies these two more-than-hot cars a place in the spotlight. What it "takes to be tops" as far as consumer reports is a very exemplary score in the auto's category. Good road-test performance, predicted reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety are the four components that are scrutinized for the final pics of the lot. 

For each of the cars that are lucky enough to make it to the top of the Consumer Reports list, their performance is scrutinized heavily during more than 50 evaluations conducted at a 327-acre Auto Test Center. The ways in which the cars are put to the test involve very detailed instrumented track tests, to necessarily nit-picked assessments for comfort and overall convenience. The staff of this renowned publication tests cars daily, and has experience dealing with all types of cars and their quirks. As far as owner satisfaction is concerned, the staff at Consumer Reports has known for decades that it only takes a split second for a large-scale accident to occur. Keeping your safety in mind as a consumer is essential: no one would want to buy a vehicle that they though may let them down in that one dangerous split second that can define the future.

The owner satisfaction rating that resulted in the Cruze and Malibu coming out on top was based on the percentage of current owners surveyed that claimed if they had to make another car purchase again, this is the one that they would select. The latest subscriber survey that claimed if they had to make another car purchase again, this is the one that they would select. The latest subscriber survey dutifully collected data on more than 300,000 vehicles that were released in the last three years, and took a close look at the various features that made them stand up during the toughest of tests. The sales and service staff here at O'Rielly Chevrolet fully understands that you want the best possible means to complete your daily commute, have a little fun while you're at it, and know that you are riding in a vehicle that will extend its quality to go above and beyond to protect you and all of your passengers.

The Chevy Cruze is exciting for so many reasons: The cabin is incredibly attractive, and an ample amount of rear-seat legroom is appreciated right off the bat. It comes in compact sedan or hatchback, and is available in L, LS, LT, LT Diesel, and Premier trim levels. 15-inch steel wheels, awesome automatic headlights, remote unlocking, and a height-adjustable seat are just some of the amenities you'll enjoy with this power-packing and high-ranked new creation. The 2017 Malibu has more rear-seat legroom than past models, and is coveted for its upscale and very clean appearance. You are working with a 160-hp turbo, 1.5-liter four-cylinder power source, and six-speed automatic to efficiently get the shifting job done. With the offering of a hybrid Malibu, you can see 35 miles per gallon, and be more-than-confident about using an environmentally-friendly power source. We couldn't be more excited about the high reviews and rankings the Cruze and Malibu received from Consumer Reports: make sure you set aside time to pay us a visit, and learn just how exciting your daily commute and playtime can soon become.
