Save money on Consumer Reports recommended cars

2013 Chevrolet Cruze

$1,547 total saving available (expires April 30, 2013)

The Cruze is Chevrolet's mainstream small sedan. It feels solid and substantial, handles nicely, and has a firm but controlled ride. However, for a small car the base 1.8-liter four-cylinder only returned an unimpressive 26 mpg. The well-finished cabin feels spacious up front, even for tall drivers, but it's cramped in the rear. Noise levels are fairly good for a small sedan. Crash-test results are impressive.

How this information can help you get the best price

The key to getting the lowest price on a car is to know how much negotiating room you have. That means knowing all of the current sales incentives, including behind-the-scenes dealer perks. That information is what makes the CR Bottom Line Price the best place to begin your new-car negotiations. It's calculated by subtracting any rebates, dealer incentives, or holdback amounts from the dealer-invoice price. That gives you a good idea of how much negotiating room you have below the car's sticker price. Armed with those figures, you can often save thousands of dollars when buying a new car. Get the CR Bottom Line Price on your next new car through Consumer Reports' New Car Price Reports.
