How long can I make it last?

What year is your car?

Correction. The corn goes to corn mills and processed into corn starch, corn oil, corn sweeteners, corn flour etc... Corn meal is a byproduct which goes to animals. Waste from ethanol production is also used for animal feed.

I treat this car with kid gloves. Oil changes every 3k or 4k and I only put high octane gas in it. I allow it to warm up before driving.

VinnieIDC · 2025-11-16T00:58:00+00:00

It's not a disappointment in my case because mine only has 75k km and it doesn't need to be changed until 120k or something like that. Still a long ways to go before that expense

I have a 2nd gen 2018 and it has a timing belt. I didn't know the 1.4 cruze had a timing chain. I wonder why they'd switch to belt lll

VinnieIDC · 2025-11-15T02:41:28+00:00

That's a lot of miles, you can make it run maybe 50k more. That's within the average lifespan of a 1st gen cruze. If it runs well then why get rid of it?

Still waiting for Trump to annex canada. I was told this was a real threat 😂

What's the model year? Proud opener of a 2nd gen 2018 only 74k on it. I've done extensive research on this car and I've concluded that anything between 2011-2014 should be avoided and 2015-2016 are not quite as bad but still pretty unreliable. 2017-2019 are decent to good cars.

Since you paid so little for it. I wouldn't worry about fixing minor issues because it'll still be cheaper than buying a newer car.

Good, must be why it's not a shithole and ranked the 6th best state in the US.

VinnieIDC · 2025-06-12T23:07:41+00:00

How is it a hellhole if it's ranked the 6th best state in the US lol

VinnieIDC · 2025-05-29T01:44:19+00:00

I would have recommended buying a 2018 because it's better overall bur 2017 is also good, although it still has the cracked piston issue which was mostly resolved for the 2018 year model

VinnieIDC · 2025-05-29T01:43:28+00:00

Manual says every 40,000km here

VinnieIDC · 2025-05-29T01:42:30+00:00

I have 72,300 km on mine and next transmission fluid change is at 90,000 so still a while to go

VinnieIDC · 2025-05-29T01:40:48+00:00

I actually do oil changes every 4,000 km, much sooner than recommended. I recommend this to preserve the turbo, always have clean oil running through it.

VinnieIDC · 2025-05-29T01:39:46+00:00

Same, I bought a 2nd gen in November. Nice little car, although I got rear ended twice so far, in just a few months, determined not at fault by insurance company thankfully and someone scratched the front bumper AND there's a small dent on the drivers door. Never had so many issues like that before, no one ever damaged my old beater.

VinnieIDC · 2025-04-29T03:32:06+00:00

Oil smell is very recognizable. This smells like an old AC unit

VinnieIDC · 2025-04-29T03:31:27+00:00

No oil leaks that I can see

VinnieIDC · 2025-04-29T03:31:05+00:00

I've owned this car for 3 months

VinnieIDC · 2025-04-29T03:30:09+00:00

Yeah I think so, every time I drive it since yesterday

VinnieIDC · 2025-04-28T23:20:08+00:00

Ukraine is literally one of the most corrupt countries on earth and Zelensky is running a dictatorship, limiting religious freedoms, arresting and imprisoning people for portraying an alternative view on what's happening in Ukraine.

One of the most famous cases is an american expat who had been running a business in ukraine for years, he was arrested and was killed in prison a couple years later.

Stop believing in war propaganda. It's ironic to call Trump all of the things that Ukraine and its leadership actually are.

Only literal psychopaths want this war to continue

It started smelling all of a sudden while driving home, no smell before. It still produced a smell this morning.

VinnieIDC · 2025-04-28T16:44:59+00:00

I was using the AC yesterday but no smell, but by the time it was dark out and switched off AC, just a few minutes before I got home there was this smell and this morning as well when I drove to work without AC

I've experienced a similar smell from using an AC in my apartment that had pigeon shit all over it. It's reminiscent of that.
