Welcome to the Forums!

The Cruze is a new model, so its hard to say much about how good it is and its resale value.
In general Chevrolet and other American makes command a poor resale value as compared to their Japanese counterparts. Unless this vehicle is dramatically different in quality and build, I do not see that perception around resale to change with this model either.

I would suggest that you take it for a test drive, and then compare it against Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, and even Mazda 3. These are its rivals within the same segment. The Japanese models, specially Corolla and Civic have very good resale (in comparison that is).
Come and discuss at the most lively forums about Cars, Bikes, 4x4s...at http://www.autodealer.ae at the Autodealer UAE Forums.

if the other cheap small/midsize chevrolet cars are anything to compare by, id say avoid the cruze.
those cars fall apart very soon and you will face many visits to the dealership. resale is also horrible.
why not get a tiida? im sure its available for under 55k

I think the cruze is a massive improvement from chevrolet... I mean look at its predecessor the chevy optra which was a car i liked, reminded me of the hyundai elantra.. It wasnt well built like a japanese car but it was priced cheaper, reliable, good A/C and cheap to maintain bascially a car that does its job well.. I sat inside the cruse and the car is quite well built and genuine from the inside..

Both are made by daewoo and sold with a chevy badge...
