Good day to all!
Today's post is probably more like a questionnaire.
In the summer of 2014, I decided to sell my Mazda, and buy completely new car from the salon. Before Mazda, I had a Chevrolet Lacetti, an unpretentious car that has never let me down, actually pleasing my father at the present time.
And my choice somehow immediately fell in the direction of the Cruz, a white sedan in maximum configuration 1.8 on the machine.
Went to salons, looked, and more and more like it.
At the same time selling your previous car.
And now the hour has come. The car is sold, the right amount in your pocket. I'm going to the salon to negotiate a car and leave an advance payment. And in a conversation with the manager, he accidentally wondered why it was Cruz, and not Opel, and so on.
Well, I told him that everything depends on money, and that the aster in the minimum configuration ends where
Cruz in the maximum configuration.
Well, here he is, quite by accident, climbing on his computer, offers me my aster, with a turbo engine, 17 wheels, with an asset package + and only 15 thousand more expensive than Cruz.
The choice was clear, in the direction of the turbo engine and heated steering wheel)))
So I’m what it’s all about, I drive on an aster, but I still salivate on a white Cruz, and sometimes thoughts visit me, still get it, white sedan, with a tint in a circle, a black roof and on black disks ...
It is interesting here the opinion of people who went on both, to hear any positive / negative comparisons.

I'm also considering buying an Astra. I looked at several reviews and all as one complain about the lack of space in the knees for rear passengers. Tell me, as a former owner of a matryoshka, is there less space in the rear of the Mazda or the same amount?
I can say with 100% certainty that in the Opel hatch, there are more places than in the Mazda hatch!
And how is the turbo engine after atmospheric, how is it warmed up in winter, how is the dynamics, consumption?
Mazda drove better, it was a small rocket.
Stock GTC 1.4 turbo I went around. Well, there I had 2 liters and 150 horses for manual transmission.
It warms up quickly, in winter I start moving at 30 degrees slowly. I don’t heat it in positive temperature, I’m eating as the speed drops.
And so pleased with the machine, comfortable quiet and quite dynamic. The only thing that many children's sores, you can read about it in the BZ.
I also considered Cruz and Opel. Cruz seemed too literate. In this price segment, the Opel Astra is one of the best cars externally, internally, comfort and ride comfort. I say one of the best and not the best) After the Opel, I will only buy German, because. jambs Russian assembly crawl out.
I also dreamed and was on fire buying a Mazda 3) and after selling my car I went to buy it) but there was nothing worthy and expected) and an Opel Astra in the Cosmo configuration caught my eye) and as soon as I got into it, I realized that this was my car and I’m leaving on it now) it makes me very happy, but still a dream is a dream) and therefore, as I see a black Mazda 3 in a hatch, I salivate at it)
with regards to Mazda, the hatch in 1 body is of course legendary :)
I think he is the most beautiful of all generations!
he rules the ball) in Nizhny Novgorod the guy was selling a club one) at the maximum speed the last restyling but I didn’t have time ((it was a shame) but I’m also satisfied with my Opel purchase)
here I just had the last rest, with mp-3, manual transmission-6 and piano black panels
and why he moved)) of course, the Opel is more modern and, in my opinion, more cheerful)) but there is a Mazda) all the more so it was) they don’t do better anymore
because she was already 6 years old, and the mileage was 103 thousand, I sold it in half a day and for a very good amount, at a time when the market was in principle.
Opel calm and comfortable car.
A 2-liter Mazda is a crazy stool, a small rocket :)
Thank you for your opinion.
Now I might consider a new seed, I really like it externally.
And I also considered Ford, but the reviews about the 3rd focus are already very bad, they say the car is not the same as before ...
As for the Ford, I agree, it’s not the same anymore, but I’m more of an example, in the context of anything but not an Opel)))
If I had a choice between Opel and Chevrolet, I would choose Kia. Or Ford. On the extreme Lada (as it turned out, Lada is more reliable than Opel). No offense, practice has shown that Opel is not worth the money due to problems with workmanship, and Cruz is 2/3 (if not 3/4) Opel, they have a lot of interchangeable parts. Moreover, due to the departure of GM corporation from Russian market, they have a big problem with selling on secondary market, a friend has been trying to drain her GTC 1.4 on the handle for 3 months.
Once again, I ask you not to be offended by such an unusual opinion. I recommend that you carefully monitor the condition of the turbine, engine and cooling system - the most sore spots for this generation
Owned four Opels, from the Kadette to Jki, only pleased. All cars break down, no exceptions. And in terms of repair, the Opel is very simple and at a price slightly more expensive than a vase, but somewhere about the same. Between G and H I had focus 2, Spaniard. Well, I'll tell you that he patted my nerves like more than one Opel. As I remember now, when I sat on it after G, everyone thought that the doors were not closed because it was rustling in the cabin so that the passenger was barely audible. Shumka 0, stocks (factory) a lot, and in the repair of only one chassis costs such an amount that it's just tin. Consumption at 1.8 liters. more than on H ORS. On the Mazda, the zdil is the same as the focus, only outwardly different.
A LKP. it is generally a separate issue. Now on my aster the door was flattened by the previous owner, right from the end (I didn’t put it on the handbrake, the car rolled and rested the door against a pillar), so when the metal was planted back, the paint peeled off a little. And so far, she has remained unfinished. And at the place of the chip (the size of 2 thumbs), at least the slightest hint of rust, perfectly clean metal.
Mileage 150 thousand! Changed after buying the coolant reservoir, heat exchanger gaskets. Well, the rear rack taps. Compression in all boilers is 13 each. So much for Opil =)
A lot of people who slander them, but there are those who will also say that this is an awesome car!)
look interesting video on this topic
The choice between cars that turn out to be approximately the same in terms of their technical data turns out to be quite difficult. For example, which is better - Opel Astra or Chevrolet Cruze? They both belong to the same automobile class, and are also the brainchild of the same automobile corporation - General Motors. But this does not mean that these cars are absolutely identical. They have their own advantages and disadvantages, which should be discussed in more detail so that the choice is not so difficult.
I would like to start comparing the Opel Astra and Chevrolet Cruze with their appearance, because this is the first thing that most buyers pay attention to. Looking at Opel, I would like to note that its design successfully combines fashion trends, as well as the good old "chips" that many fans of this car brand. The lines of the body practically do not have right angles, which certainly adds to the modernity of the overall appearance.
Sophisticated aerodynamics of the body can significantly reduce fuel consumption, and also contributes to better vehicle stability on pavement. Of course, it is hardly possible to classify the Opel Astra as sports cars, but his driving performance are good enough.
As for the Chevrolet, it also looks quite aggressive and sporty. The radiator grill is made quite massive, which gives aggressiveness and brutality to the whole appearance. Also, the headlights of the car are made in a similar style, resembling the eyes of a dangerous predator, but the manufacturers obviously failed the bumper. It looks very thin, out of the general concept of the exterior.
Opel Astra or Chevrolet Cruze? If we consider them in terms of appearance, then we would give Opel a slight advantage, because its design looks more logical and complete. As for the Chevrolet, it also looks quite decent, but looking at it, one does not leave the feeling that the manufacturer has not fully thought out its entire concept, which is why it looks somewhat unfinished.
car interior
The interior of the Opel Astra would certainly appeal to admirers of Hi-tech style. There are so many different toggle switches, buttons and switches here that it could well compete with some futuristic aircraft. Certainly, this comparison a little stretched, but it really shows that the developers have fully invested in the functionality.
As for the upholstery materials, they are quite high quality. No rough seams were noticed, therefore, from this side of the issue, everything here looks on the level.
Salon Chevrolet Cruze is also very stylish and high quality. If in appearance the car was not enough drive, then the sporty style clearly prevails in the cabin. The instrument panel looks especially bright, as well as the smooth lines of the trim elements. If we compare cars in this component, then we would give Chevrolet a slight advantage, because its style looks more aesthetic. In addition, it is pleasing that in its cabin there are a large number of different niches and compartments where various small things could be stored.
Transmission and engine
In the configuration of Opel Astra cars there are two power units. Both engines run on gasoline, but they have a different power rating. The first engine has only 101 horsepower, but the second is much more powerful - 180 Horse power. Pleased with the fact that you can buy a car with different type transmission. If you are a fan of fast driving, as well as complete control over the car, then you can buy a car with mechanical box gears. If you appreciate comfort more, then automatic transmission is more suitable for you.
As for Chevrolet, there is a little more variability in its lineup. Initially, this car was also equipped with two types of engines:
- One had a capacity of 109 horsepower with a volume of 1.6 liters.
- The second engine was more powerful - 140 horsepower with a volume of 1.8 liters.
Recently added to them new unit- an engine with a capacity of 140 horsepower with a volume of 1.4 liters. With a sufficiently high power, this engine consumes fuel very economically, which is explained by its small volume. That is why the Chevrolet Cruze has a slight advantage in this dispute.
Specifications
Before answering the question, Astra or Cruz - which is better to buy for a comfortable ride, you need to pay attention to the technical characteristics of these cars.
Let's take a look at the Chevrolet data first:
- Manufacturer - Korea.
- Body type - sedan.
- Number of doors - 4.
- The volume of the engine is 1598 cubic centimeters.
- Power rating - 109 hp
- Torque - 200 Nm.
- The maximum developed speed is 185 km / h.
- Acceleration to 100 km per hour - 12.5 s.
- Gearbox type - 5 speed manual.
- Fuel consumption - 7.3 liters per 100 km.
- Dimensions (LxWxH) - 451 cm / 179.7 cm / 147.7 cm.
- Weight - 1404 kg.
- The volume of the fuel tank is 60 liters.
- Trunk volume - 413 liters.
- The average cost is 1.157 million rubles.
Consider the similar characteristics of the Opel Astra:
- Manufacturer - Germany.
- Body type - sedan.
- Number of doors - 4.
- The volume of the engine is 1364 cubic centimeters.
- Power indicator - 140 hp
- Torque - 200 Nm.
- Acceleration to 100 km per hour - 9.9 s.
- Gearbox type - 6 speed manual.
- Fuel consumption - 5.9 liters per 100 km.
- Dimensions (LxWxH) - 441.9 cm / 181.4 cm / 151 cm.
- Weight - 1405 kg.
- The volume of the fuel tank is 56 liters.
- Trunk volume - 460 liters.
- The average cost is 1.198 million rubles.
- The maximum developed speed is 202 km / h.
Based on these characteristics, it can be seen that Chevrolet is inferior to Opel in some fairly important indicators. If we compare their speed qualities, it is clear that over a long distance, in the conditions of the track, Opel will win with a significant advantage. This is due not only to better acceleration and overall speed, but also to the presence of a rigid suspension, i.e. in Astra, almost everything is sharpened at high speeds.
During the test drive, it was also revealed that the handling of the Opel is somewhat better than the Chevrolet. This is especially important at the speeds that the Astra is capable of developing, so this car wins in this component as well.
Opinion of motorists
No matter how detailed technical data about a particular car, the most important thing is practical information from those people who operated Vehicle in various conditions. That is why, we will study the reviews of the owners of these cars, who know firsthand about all the advantages and disadvantages identified in the process of driving.
Consider the advantages of the Chevrolet Cruze:
- There is a fairly good climate control system available, which allows you to feel comfortable in the cabin at any time of the year.
- The steering wheel and seats are quite comfortable, which is very important for driver comfort.
- The suspension is not rigid, but this cannot be called its disadvantage. The car feels great on the road, but it obviously does not pull the declared 180 km per hour.
- Good sound insulation of the cabin.
- The windshield is strong enough to withstand several large stones.
As for the cons of this car, they are as follows:
- In rainy weather, the visibility of the side mirrors deteriorates significantly. The fact is that the rain literally pours side windows, so the rear view is deteriorating.
- Fuel consumption is quite high, because in urban conditions it can be at least 15 liters.
- Low speed, which is explained by a rather weak engine and a large mass of the car.
- There are two versions of this car - with mechanics and automatic. So, some motorists strongly do not recommend taking an automatic transmission, explaining that the car will not survive the milestone of 70 thousand kilometers.
As for the advantages of the Opel Astra, motorists note the following positive points:
- Noise isolation of the cabin at a high level.
- The rigidity of the suspension is an advantage on the one hand, but can cause problems in cold weather - it starts to rattle and knock.
- Good handling on the road, as well as good ground clearance for this class of car.
- Fuel consumption is quite economical in urban areas.
The disadvantages of the Opel Astra are as follows:
- According to some reviews, it can be judged that the seats in the cabin do not differ in sufficient comfort.
- The rigidity of the suspension can cause repairs in the winter season.
- Poor car liquidity. Even with low mileage and good condition car, it can be sold on the secondary market for no more than half.
- The menu is quite confusing, so you will have to spend a little time studying it.
The tests carried out showed that the reliability of the body of these cars is approximately the same. Therefore, there is no unambiguous answer to the question of which is more reliable - Chevrolet Cruze or Opel Astra.
If we sum up some results, we can note the fact that the choice in favor of a particular car is formed, depending on where it will be used for a longer time. So, the Chevrolet Cruze is more adapted for driving in urban conditions, but the Astra also shows itself quite well here. Their price is approximately the same, but the operation of the Opel will cost a little more in the future. If this does not scare you, and you like fast driving, then choose Astra. But again, the choice is a rather individual and subjective thing, which is largely influenced by personal preferences and tastes.

At the same time, they are not only built on a common platform, but are even produced at the same plant. But is the new Chevy really capable of competing on equal terms with its European relative - the big question
Represented
"Global" Jim's car chevrolet cruze appeared in 2009. His the lineup began with a sedan, to which a hatchback was added in 2011, and soon a station wagon will join them. The assembly of the Cruze has been established at the GM plant in Shushary near St. Petersburg. current generation Opel Astra, the world premiere of which took place in the same 2009, is already the fourth in a row. Its release is also organized at the St. Petersburg GM plant. In our market new Astra on sale since the spring of 2010, and is available along with the previous generation. The hatchback is the basis of the current Opel Astra model line, which, in addition to it, includes a station wagon and a three-door version of the GTC.
Looked
Absolutely dissimilar interiors of our rivals, upon closer examination, are replete with unified elements - they have the same steering column levers, power window buttons and keys on the steering wheel. But the interior of the Opel Astra leaves a more pleasant impression: the finishing materials here are better than in Chevrolet. In addition, there is a suspicion that the light "canvas", which went to the upholstery of the front panel of the Cruze, will be quite a brand. Almost all of the Cruze's increase in length (91 mm) compared to the Astra went to its trunk. Therefore, it has more volume, despite the full-size spare wheel. But Opel has a double floor in the cargo compartment, the height of which can be adjusted.
swept
Atmospheric engine Chevrolet Cruze is better "lucky" on the bottoms, and therefore it is more convenient to crawl in viscous Moscow traffic jams with it. But as soon as a little bit of a gap appears, Astra, with its explosive turbo pickup, immediately wins back. And in the operational space, and even more so, does not leave the Chevrolet Cruze any chance. Opel's suspension is more assembled - it better works out bumps and does not allow buildup. The Cruze has a slightly softer suspension, but hardly any comfort. Accordingly, the Astra steers more pleasantly, and writes turns more accurately. Chevrolet Cruze can only counter this with easier gear shifting (the effort is more noticeable on Opel) and slightly better visibility through side mirrors. This is clearly not enough to even the score.
asked the price
Prices for the base Chevrolet Cruze with a 1.6-liter engine and manual box start from 562,000 rubles. Opel Astra with a 1.4-liter atmospheric unit and "mechanics" is estimated at least 593,900 rubles, and with a 1.6-liter engine it will cost 629,900 rubles. The most expensive Chevrolet Cruze - with a 1.8-liter 141-horsepower unit and an "automatic" - will pull 769,000 rubles. Opel Astra in the top-end Cosmo version with a 1.4-liter turbo engine of almost the same power and automatic transmission it costs a little more - 794,000 rubles, and a similar car, but with the most powerful engine in the range - 1.6 turbo, 180 hp. - will cost 849,000 rubles. Given the superiority of Opel in equipment, we have approximate parity.
Outcome
Editor:
Chevrolet Cruze - the car seems to be not bad, but somehow boring and spineless. He does not have bright features, memorable features either in design or in behavior. In general, Cruze "did not hook" me. Another thing - Astra! Everything is in order here and with charisma, and with emotions, and with the pleasure of driving. Current Astra generation turned out to be extremely successful. You can, of course, speculate about the difference in price and the advantage of participating in Opel test over Chevy in equipment and engine power. But even in versions with engines of the same size and comparable configurations, the Chevrolet Cruze is not so cheaper than the Opel Astra that there is a desire to give preference to it.
Wirleben Autos! - company motto Opel, founded more than a century ago in Germany, reflects the responsible attitude of employees to the development and creation of innovative vehicles. Opel products are always distinguished by a reasonable ratio of quality and price.

Chevrolet Cruze is available only with gasoline engines. Two motors have a volume 1.6 liters, power 109 and 113 horsepower. More powerful engine option 1.8 l has 141 hp.
What common
Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra cars are developed on the same platform Delta II. The front-wheel drive Delta II was designed by German engineers from the Opel division. Rear suspension on the platform is positioned as semi-independent, and is considered more wear-resistant than fully independent.
The Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra brands have engines with turbocharged- an effective measure to increase the power of the motor, based on the compression of incoming air with the help of exhaust gas energy.
What's the Difference
The Chevrolet Cruze is somewhat inferior to the Opel Astra in terms of speed. On the Opel track technical specifications acceleration and overall speed wins with a clear advantage, because it is focused on swiftness. Acceleration to hundreds at Opel 2.3 seconds faster than Chevrolet.
Driving stability Opel Astra in special modes, such as cornering at high speed, is much more stable than the Chevrolet Cruze. The risk of skidding or demolition of the car at Opel is much lower. Chevrolet's handling, especially at top speeds, leaves much to be desired.
The amount of fuel used by a car is affected by the quality of gasoline and driving conditions. In all cases, the actual fuel consumption of the Opel Astra 2% lower than the Chevrolet Cruze.
The interior of the Opel Astra is made using quality materials, looks expensive and noble. The assembly is not satisfactory, which is a good tradition for German cars. The interior of the Chevrolet Cruze looks simpler plastic is soft, and scratches quickly appear on it.
If we compare trunks, then Chevrolet has more roomy, and has a volume of 500 liters. luggage compartment Opel is a quarter smaller, and is presented in a volume of 375 liters.
The larger the minimum turning radius, the worse the maneuverability of the vehicle. The parameters of the Chevrolet Cruze in this indicator have an advantage over the Opel Astra by 15%.
Which car to choose
For motorway trips, especially at high speeds, Opel Astra should be preferred. The car clearly holds the road and is easy to control. In urban conditions, you can choose a more budget Chevrolet Cruze. Savings will be both during the purchase and during operation, if it becomes necessary to replace any unit.
If the silence in the cabin plays important role, then Opel Astra will more than satisfy this need. External noise during the trip do not cause concern. But the Chevrolet Cruze, on the contrary, pesters the driver with a suspension roar. The suspension struts are unfinished and serve as a source of noise.
Chevrolet's door seals creak on rough roads.
For trips to the country, you need a large luggage space, which is present in the Chevrolet Cruze. If fast driving is not a priority, and it is planned to get to the summer cottage in a calm mode, then Chevrolet will the best option, compared to Opel.
Chevrolet Cruze has successfully taken its share of the market. It is a modern, reliable car with the makings of a sporty character. Despite this, there are a number of competitive machines. They have both advantages against the Chevrolet Cruze and disadvantages. As a result, on automotive market constantly fighting between various machines trying to grab the attention of buyers.
Comparison of Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus
The Chevrolet Cruze has a number of advantages over the Ford Focus. By comparison, the main advantages are:
- more comfortable steering wheel, especially compared to the Ford Focus 3;
- good visibility from the driver's seat;
- perfect steering rack design, which Ford Focus 2 cannot boast of.
Decide which car is best Ford Focus or Chevrolet Cruze, the choice towards the first is possible for the following reasons:
- good suspension;
- high-quality interior material;
- effective soundproofing.
Cars are in the same price category. Their cost ranges from 800,000 to 1,200,000 rubles. 
Chevrolet Cruze or Opel Astra
According to the reviews of car owners, the Opel Astra is prone to sensor failure. crankshaft. If it fails, the engine becomes completely inoperative. The meter is installed on the tide of the oil pump housing. It creates a synchronization pulse thanks to which the controller determines the position and speed of the crankshaft. Based on these data, it calculates the moment of operation of the injectors and the ignition module. Repair is possible only by replacing the sensor. Chevrolet Cruze is somewhat more reliable in this regard. The cost of the Opel Astra is in the same range as the Cruze of a similar configuration.
Cruz vs Toyota Corolla
The operation of Toyota Corolla will reveal the following features:
- many childhood diseases;
- the presence of crickets in the cabin;
- high sensitivity of the engine to the quality of fuel and oil;
- soft suspension;
- the cost is higher than that of the Chevrolet Cruze, and ranges from 1.2 to 1.5 million rubles;
- sufficient comfort.
Cruze or Skoda Octavia
A comparison of a Skoda Octavia and a Chevrolet Cruze is shown in the table below.
Comparison of Chevrolet Cruze and Volkswagen Polo
It will be determined that better Volkswagen Polo or Cruz, according to the following advantages and disadvantages of the German:
- the absence of "childhood diseases";
- good cross;
- cost less than that of the Chevrolet Cruze;
- breakdowns of the rear suspension;
- slow warm-up.
Chevrolet Cruze or Skoda Rapid
Comparing Skoda Rapid and Chevrolet cars, car owners note the low reliability of the Cruze camshaft position measurement system. In some cases, the engine continues to run, but there is a significant decrease in power and an increase in fuel consumption. Determining the problem is quite difficult. This requires a diagnostic scanner. The only way to fix the problem is to replace the sensor with a new one.
Comparing Cruze to Mazda
Chevrolet Cruze and Mazda are analyzed according to the main criteria in the table below.
Comparison of Chevrolet Cruze and Honda Civic
The Honda Civic has advantages over the Chevrolet Cruze, which often has a failure of the air flow sensor. This leads to unpleasant jerks and dips in acceleration. The motor starts to consume much more fuel. Troubleshooting is possible only by installing a new sensor. 
Chevrolet Cruze and Citroen C4
Unlike the Citroen C4, when a turbocharged Chevrolet Cruze engine is running, there are often extraneous sounds. The incomplete design of the Opel phase regulators leads to the fact that the engine is diesel. The resource of the cooling system pump is also small, so it starts to whistle at a run of more than 60 thousand km. These problems are extremely rare on Citroen.
At the same time, C4 often causes problems with the failure of suspension elements. The transmission is also not reliable. The cost of the car is in the range from 1.3 million to 1.8 million rubles.
Overview of other vehicles
Another car in a similar price segment is the Kia Sid. The machine is characterized by good handling and safety. Kia is inferior to Chevrolet in the reliability of the main components.
The unequivocal answer is what kind of car better chevrolet Cruze or Renault Fluence no. The first has a more modern filling, and the second is a little more reliable.
Cruz replaced the Chevrolet Lacetti. The car inherited all the best design solutions of its predecessor. The main advantage of the Lacetti is its lower cost.
The quality of the main Cruze components compared to the Chevrolet Epica and Chevrolet Aveo is almost on the same level. At the same time, Epica has a lower cost. Experienced car owners, other things being equal, recommend choosing the Chevrolet Cruze.
Another competitor to the Chevrolet Cruze is the Kia Cerato. The car is characterized by dynamism and comfort. According to reviews, the quality of the Kia is slightly worse than that of the Cruze.
A very heated debate is going on between the owners of Cruz and Ford Mondeo. Both cars have similar characteristics and price segment. That being said, most drivers acknowledge that the Cruze's handling on the highway is better.
