The Americans have a Japanese raid again. This time everything is built up and ready to be delivered in American style. The Americano Cruze is all you need to give a smoking reply to the Corolla. Yes the Cruze might be of the same value and same engine size but the performance delivered is outstanding.
From the engine to its interiors all of it has been designed according to new specifications. The Corolla on the other hand is an old concept which has been revised and upgraded.

The Cruze is wide and you can literally sleep inside the car. The Corolla however is all cramped up. Well 5 adults fit inside both the cars but there is space problem inside the Corolla. Both of them have advanced features which make the car one of the best sedans. If you need luxury and speed the Cruze is your best partner.Handling and feel
The Cruze is decent in handling and feels like a remote control car. The corolla on the other hand feels bit underpowered. You might think of jumping in another car which is fast according to its size. The Cruze on the other hand is superb and fast. Cornering on the Cruze is easy.
Engine response
Cruze has the fastest engine in mid size sedan. You don’t want to try red line gear change. The Corolla on the other hand feels underpowered. It has a grunty gear box which is not that responsive when you wish to go for power drive. Lots of maintenance issues are present in the Corolla.
Time to go to the ATM
Time is changing and we need to change too. The Corolla is a good car but definitely not the best. The Cruze has power and control. It is an economy packet which is sold in speed section. The Cruze is the best car to be selected.
