2012 Chevrolet Cruze vs Hyundai Elantra Safety: The front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Cruze are height-adjustable, and the rear seat shoulder belts have child comfort guides, which helps the belt to properly fit children. The Elantra only has front height-adjustable seat belts and no child comfort guides. The Elantra child locks have to be individually engaged manually at each door. The Cruze, however, has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver’s seat and to know when they are locked. The Cruze also has standard OnStar, which uses a GPS receiver and a cellular system to remotely unlock your doors if you’re locked out, help find your vehicle if it’s stolen or even automatically send emergency personnel to your location if needed. And those are just a sampling of what OnStar offers. The Hyundai Elantra doesn’t offer a GPS response system or anything comparable to OnStar. Moreover the Elantra only offers 6 airbags as opposed to the Cruze’s impressive 10. 2012 Chevrolet Cruze  Quality, Reliability and Durability: There are more than 7 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Hyundai dealers, making it easier to get service under the Cruze’s excellent warranty. The Chevrolet Cruze’s engines use a cast iron block for durability. The Elantra uses an aluminum block for its engine, which is more likely to warp and crack than cast iron.


Power and Performance: The Cruze’s available ECOTEC 1.4L turbo engine produces 17 lbs.-ft. more torque than the Elantra’s 1.8L engine. The Cruze’s engines produce their top torque and horsepower at lower RPM than the Elantra as well.  The Cruze’s turbo does 0-60 in 8 seconds, while it takes the Elantra 8.9 seconds to do 0-60. According to the EPA, the Cruze Eco Manual gets better fuel mileage than the Elantra with 42 highway mpg versus only 40 highway mpg. The Cruze also holds 2.8 gallons more fuel capacity than the Elantra, granting the Cruze a greater maximum traveling range than the Elantra.2012 Chevrolet Cruze  
Drive and Handling:  The Cruze has larger 16” standard tires than the Elantra’s standard 15” wheels; and the Cruze LTZ has 18” tires compared to the Elantra Limited’s 17” tires. This is part of the reason why the Cruze has better traction than the Elantra. The Cruze also includes a standard spare tire. A spare isn’t even available on the Elantra—leaving you stranded if you get a flat. Tested by Car and Driver, the interior of the Cruze is quieter than the Elantra as well.  
Interior: The Cruze has nearly an inch more rear headroom and more than two inches more rear legroom than the Elantra. The Chevrolet Cruze also has more cargo room than the Elantra due to its superior interior design and larger trunk space. The Cruze LTZ has an automatic temperature control system. The Elantra offers noting comparable to this.We at Art Gamblin Motors are confident that the Chevrolet Cruze, which won two awards in Kiplinger’s 2011 car issue, is unmistakably superior to the Hyundai Elantra.

The sonic perfectly utilizes its curving body, giving a sense of perpetual motion, even while parked. This hints at the powerful capabilities under the Sonic’s appealing curves. At the same time the Sonic communicates fast motion with its sweeping angles; it also demonstrates its practical and efficient sophistication with its tight, drawn in design. Everything from the Sonic’s flush handles to its flawlessly aligned wheels show thoughtful, refined excellence in design.

The Sonic provides two options between a 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback. The sedan imparts distinguished excellence; while the hatchback embodies a swift, adventurous nature. The sedan and hatchback emphasis different traits of a union between superior class and active energy that is the core of the Sonic; allowing a choice more specifically tailored to you.

The swept back design of the Sonic illustrates motion, but also allows for superior visibility while driving. The taunt athletic lines of the Sonic do show off its sporty capabilities, but also make the car aerodynamic. The aerodynamic style of the Sonic makes it more fuel efficient, greatly reduces noise in the cab, even at cruising speeds and limits the potential of wind buffeting; providing a smooth, comfortable riding experience. The level care in the Sonics style can be seen down to the smallest details, right down to the spiraled antenna placed down the center of the car, reducing wind resistance and contributing to the fast capable feel of the car. All of these and so many other innovative details give the Sonic its deserved feeling of premium quality in appearance and performance.

2012 Chevrolet Sonic Ride and Handling

At Art Gamblin Motors, your Auburn Chevrolet Dealer, we understand that engine power alone doesn’t make a vehicle great. A good vehicle needs good suspension in order to provide an enjoyable driving experience. The all new Chevrolet Sonic was designed with this fact in mind, which is just one more reason why we here at Art Gamblin Motors are so pleased to present the Sonic. The powerful and efficient ECOTEC engine in the Sonic is perfectly utilized by its expertly tuned suspension. Many of the same team members responsible for the world-class Corvette and Cadillac CTS-V suspension systems tuned the Chevy Sonic themselves; until it met or exceeded all the points of an extensive battery of rigorous benchmarks used to measure European subcompacts. These tests put the Sonic through tight winding roads and bumpy cobble stone streets, just to name a few of the tests that the Sonic easily aced—maintaining a comfortable riding experience throughout.

These expert engineers responsible for tuning the suspension of the Sonic have struck an unbelievable balance between vehicle stiffness, comfort and drivability on one side; with smoothness, comfort and drivability on the other. This has been accomplished through a combination of expert tuning, inspired design and high quality parts. The front of the Chevy Sonic has an independent front suspension with McPherson type struts with coil springs to absorb rough road conditions. The Sonic also has a tubular stabilizer bar that keeps the Sonic flat on the ground during tight turns. Finally, the Chevrolet Sonic’s rear has a semi-independent torsion beam multilink design with gas charge shocks. It is the above combination of expert tuning, design and high quality parts that has given the Sonic its world-class suspension.
 

But don’t take our word for it, or even the word of the expert engineers who designed and build the Chevy Sonic. Come down to Art Gamblin Motors and experience the Sonic’s splendid suspension for yourself with a test drive. You will be welcomed to a pressure free environment by expert sales associates. And most importantly we are still family owned and operated as we have been for more than 40 years; so you will be treated like family here At Art Gamblin Motors. Come visit us and you’ll find out why we are the top online ranked Chevrolet dealer in the state and the best place to buy a new Chevy Sonic!

 

 

2012 Honda Civic vs 2012 Chevrolet Cruze

2012 chevrolet Cruze vs Honda Civic  Safety: The front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Cruze are height-adjustable, and the rear seat shoulder belts have child comfort guides that allow the belt to properly fit children. The Civic only has front height-adjustable seat belts and no child comfort guides. The Civic’s child locks have to be individually engaged manually at each door. The Cruze, however, has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver’s seat and to know when they are locked. The Cruze also has standard OnStar, which uses a GPS receiver and a cellular system to remotely unlock your doors if you’re locked out, help find your vehicle if it’s stolen or even automatically send emergency personnel to your location if needed.

Those are just a sampling of what OnStar offers. The Honda Civic doesn’t have anything comparable to OnStar. Parking assistance sensors in the Cruze, excluding the LS model, warn the driver of obstructions, which greatly reduce the chance of accidents. The Civic offers nothing comparable to this. Honda also lags significantly behind safety when stacked up against the Cruze’s 10 standard airbags—the Civic only has 6 airbags total.2012 Chevrolet Cruze  
Quality, Reliability and Durability:  The Chevrolet Cruze comes standard with free roadside assistance for 5 years/100,000 miles. Honda fails to provide roadside assistance for the Civic. Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Cruze 40,000 miles longer than Honda covers the Civic. The Cruze’s corrosion warranty is also 1 year longer than the Civic’s. There are also more than four times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Honda dealers, making it a lot easier to get service for your Cruze’s warranty than it would be on Honda’s Civic. The Chevrolet Cruze’s engines use a cast iron block for durability. The Civic uses an aluminum block for its engine, which is more likely to warp and crack than cast iron.2012 Chevrolet Cruze
Power and Performance: The Cruze’s available 1.4L ECOTEC turbo engine allows 20 lbs.-ft. more torque than the Civic’s 1.8L VTEC engine—and the Cruze does so at a lower RPM! This allows the Cruze to go from 0-60 in 8 seconds flat as opposed to the 9 seconds it takes the Civic. According to the EPA, the manual Honda Civic gets 36 highway mpg. The Cruze Eco gets 42 highway mpg according to the EPA—that’s 6 more miles per gallon than the Civic! The Cruze also holds 2.4 more gallons of fuel than the Civic. So, between the Cruze’s superior fuel economy and capacity, the Cruze has a greater fuel range than the Civic. A six-speed manual is standard on the Chevrolet Cruze. The Cruze’s transmission also uses superior gear ratios for enhanced performance and a lower final drive ratio for quieter highway operation, much less engine wear and better fuel economy. The Honda Civic only offers an inferior five-speed for its manual transmission. The Cruze’s optional automatic transmission is also a 6-speed as opposed to the Civic’s inferior 5-speed automatic.
 Ride and Handling: The Cruze offers better traction than the Civic with larger standard wheels. Standard handling in the Cruze is also greater than in the Civic because the Cruze LS/LT wheels have a lower profile than the Civic’s standard series tires. The Cruze also offers greater maximum wheel size than the Honda Civic. Superior handling in the Cruze over the Civic is solidified by theCruze’s longer wheelbase The Cruze LS/LT’s standard tires provide better handling as well because they have a lower 60 series profile that provides a tougher sidewall than the Civic’s standard series tires. The Cruze LTZ’s tires also have a lower series profile than the Civic EX’s tires. The Cruze eliminates engine vibration in the passenger area with liquid-filled engine mounts. The Civic still uses inferior rubber engine mounts causing a rougher ride for passengers.
Interior: The Cruze is rated as a mid-size car by the EPA due to its vast passenger and cargo space, while the Civic is rated as a compact due to its cramped interior and limited cargo capacity.We at Art Gamblin Motors are confident that the Chevrolet Cruze, which won two awards inKiplinger’s 2011 car issue, is unquestionably superior to the Honda Civic. So we invite you to come test drive a new Chevy Cruze with us here in Enumclaw Washington and experience the difference for yourself.

2012 Chevrolet Sonic Review

  Art Gamblin Motors, your Kent Chevrolet Dealer, is very excited to present the new Chevrolet Sonic. The Sonic is an innovative small car that has literally redefined its class. Yes, the Sonic offers top fuel efficiency at 40 highway miles per gallon and excellent handling and suspension. But the Sonic does a lot more than simply meet or exceed small car standards—the Sonic redefines them. The Interior of the sonic offers over 90 cubic feet of space. The sedan offers 14 cubic feet of trunk space and the hatchback offers over 19 cubic feet of trunk space—more than the Corolla or Civic, both of which are in a larger car class. The standard ECOTEC 1.8L engine and the optional 1.4L ECOTEC turbo charged engine in the Sonic makes the vehicle powerful, responsive and efficient, both in terms of fuel economy and very low maintenance.
   The suspension of the Sonic was expertly designed and tuned by top engineers that worked on the world-class Corvette and Cadillac CTS-V. Professional drivers ran the Sonic through intense batteries of extreme road conditions and the Sonic passed these tests with excellent handling and quiet comfortable ride. The Body-Frame Integral design of the Sonic makes its rigidity and stiffness comparable to that found in high-end luxury cars. This and too many other features too numerous to list contribute to the Sonic’s rally car like handling and the Sonic’s incredible durability, quality and extreme value.
The Chevrolet Sonic has achieved a Top Safety Pick rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, performing at the highest standards in all crash test categories. The Sonic is equipped with 10 airbags, more than any other car in its segment and more than some vehicles in a larger class. The myriad of incredible safety features like brake assisting and the StabiliTrack Stability Control System give the Sonic an edge in safety unparalleled by other vehicles in and out of its class. This fact is further solidified by the high quality materials used to construct the Sonic. The Sonic is made of 60% high grade steel. The roof of the Sonic is capable of holding over 4 times its own weight.
  All of the genuine quality and innovation in the Sonic is displayed perfectly through its exterior and interior style, inspired in part by the best aspects of motorcycle design. The Sonic sedan and hatchback both exude modern sophistication and youthful sportiness and adventure in an aerodynamic design that is both attractive and functional. We invite you to come test drive a new Sonic here with us at Art Gamblin Motors in Enumclaw Washington. We promise that you will enjoy our welcoming pressure-free environment, with plenty of expert sales associates available to handle all of your needs. Above all we are committed to treating you like family, something that is natural for us being family owned and operated for over 40 years.

The Chevrolet Cruze has automated daytime running Lights to help keep it more visible under any condition. Studies show that driving with lights during the day may reduce accidents by up to 11% by making vehicles more conspicuous. The Focus doesn’t offer daytime running lights at all.

Quality, Reliability and Durability: Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Cruze 40,000 miles longer than Ford covers the Focus. The Cruze’s corrosion warranty is also 1 year longer than the Focus’. The Chevrolet Cruze’s engines use a cast iron block for durability. The Focus uses an aluminum block for its engine, which is more likely to warp and crack than cast iron. J.D. Power and Associates’ continually ranks Chevrolet’s initial quality as better than Ford’s. In their 2011 Initial Quality Study of new car owners Chevrolet ranked 13th in initial quality compared to Ford’s ranking of 23rd. 


2012 Chevrolet Cruze   Power and Performance: The Cruze’s 1.4L turbo engine out performs the Focus accelerating from 0-60 faster. The EPA has found that the Cruze Eco manual transmission gets better fuel mileage than the Focus Manual with 42 highway mpg as opposed to 36 highway mpg offered by the Ford Focus. The Cruze also holds 3.2 gallons more fuel capacity than the Focus—allowing the Cruze a greater maximum fuel range. A six-speed manual is standard on the Chevrolet Cruze.

Standard handling in the Cruze is also greater than in the Focus because the Cruze LS/LT wheels have a lower profile than the Focus’ standard series tires.

2012 Chevrolet Cruze Suspension, Ride and Handling

black 2012 Chevrolet Cruze 
Here at Art Gamblin Motors, your Maple Valley Chevrolet dealer, we love the way the Chevrolet Cruze handles and the comfortable driving experience it offers. The Chevrolet Cruze grants the driver responsive control and a smooth drive through its superior suspension. The Cruze uses an independent front suspension MacPherson strut design. To make the weight distribution of the front suspension as light and effective as possible key components are constructed of high-grade aluminum. This system does an excellent job at dampening rough road conditions. The Cruze also has an innovative semi-independent rear suspension; with a Z-link that supports lateral forces and the rear axel of the Cruze allowing it to corner effectively. The Z-link also helps the rear suspension follow the front suspension which makes the Cruze very balanced and responsive, without taking away from the Cruze’s comfortable ride experience.
The Cruze has 4-wheel antilock brakes standard with emergency brake assisting, which detects emergency braking and quickly engages the ABS system. The Cruze’s standard traction control system prevents loss of traction and spinning in the wheels. The StabiliTrak Stability control system automatically engages traction control and ABS systems to correct the Cruze’s course if the car doesn’t follow the drivers intended path. The Cruze has rack-mounted power steering, which gives excellent handling above and beyond a typical electrical power steering system. This is because the motor of the Cruze is mounted directly to the steering rack. Of course, with this steering system there is no power steering fluid used—making it more efficient and less costly.
Ultimately, the Chevrolet Cruze is an excellent vehicle that offers superior ride and handling. But you have to experience it for yourself. So we invite you to come test-drive a Cruze with us here at Art Gamblin Motors in Enumclaw Washington. You will be welcomed in our pressure free sales environment by our knowledgeable and friendly sales associates. We have been family owned and operated for over 40 years, which is why we pride ourselves on treating every customer like family.

2012 Fords E-Series Van vs 2012 Chevrolet Express Van

Posted on by
Reply

2012 Chevrolet Express Van vs Ford E-series   The Chevrolet Express Van is superior to the Ford E-Series Van in every category. Below is just a sampling of some of the reasons why the Express dominates the E-Series that we at Art Gamblin Motors, your Bonney Lake Chevrolet Dealer, would like to share with you:2012 Chevrolet Express Van

Safety: The Express Cargo has standard child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The E-Series Van doesn’t offer any child safety locks.The Express Cargo offers available head airbag curtains. Combined with high-strength steel door beams these safety features increase head protection in collisions. The E-Series Van fails to deliver side airbag protection for the head. The Express uses vehicle speed sensors to deploy smart airbags in with the appropriate level of force for the size of the passenger and the intensity of the collision.
The E-Series Van’s airbags don’t have any smart features and will always deploy full force regardless of the type of collision or size of passenger. The Chevrolet Express Cargo has Daytime Running Lights standard to help keep it more visible under all conditions. The E-Series Van fails to offer Daytime Running Lights. The Express Cargo’s plastic fuel tank can withstand harder collisions than the Ford E-Series’ metal fuel tank. This prevents gas from leaking, which could prevent a fire.
 
Engine: The Express Cargo simply has consistently more powerful engines than the E-Series Van: The Express Cargo’s 6.6L turbo V8 diesel produces 35 more horsepower  than the E-Series Van’s standard 4.6L SOHC V8; and The Express Cargo’s 6.6 turbo V8 diesel produces 105 lbs.-ft. more torque  than the E-350 Super Duty’s optional 6.8 SOHC V10. The Chevrolet Express Cargo’s 6.6L turbo V8 diesel also has a gear driven camshaft to prevent engine damage from a broken camshaft belt or chain. This makes the engine more durable and protects it from potential damage. The engines in the Ford all use chain driven camshafts, which don’t offer the same level of protection and durability delivered by the Express. The Express Cargo 3500 outperforms the Ford with a higher standard and much higher optional payload capacity than the E-350 Super Duty Extended.
According to the EPA, the Express Cargo RWD 5.3 V8 gets better fuel mileage than the E-Series Van with its standard V8. In addition, for more complete vehicle control the Express Cargo offers an optional manually controlled tap-up tap-down automatic transmission. This option delivers the convenience of an automatic transmission as well as the gear control of a manual transmission without the inconvenience of a clutch. A six-speed automatic is also available on the Chevrolet Express Cargo, while only a five-speed automatic is available for the Ford E-Series Van.

Suspension and Handling: The Chevrolet Express Cargo’s independent front suspension is far superior to the Ford E-Series Van’s I-beam semi-independent suspension. This allows the Express Cargo’s wheels to react more quickly and accurately to the road, which improves both ride and handling. Moreover, the twin I-beam design is not only less effective—but also more expensive to maintain! The Express also has much better steering than the E-Series. Express Cargo 1500 has rack and pinion steering rather than the inferior recirculating-ball type steering of the E-Series Van. The Express Cargo has variable-assist power steering, for all-around better handling whether you’re in a parking lot or on the freeway. The E-Series Van fails to deliver variable-assist power steering.

For a better ride and more consistent handling, the Express Cargo 2500 wheelbase is 17 inches longer than on the E-Series Van. The Express Cargo also offers all-wheel drive to capitalize on traction under poor conditions, especially in icy weather. The E-Series Van doesn’t offer all-wheel drive and thus offers inferior traction capabilities. The Express Cargo also has larger tires than the E-Series Van which contribute to better traction. The Express Cargo 1500 has standard 17-inch wheels. The E-Series Van’s largest wheels are only 16 inches! The Chevrolet Express Cargo 1500’s wheels also have 6 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength. The Ford E-Series Van only has 5 wheel lugs per wheel.

Interior: The Express is roomier and more comfortable than the E-Series.The Express Cargo 1500 delivers more front legroom and more front shoulder room than the E-150 Regular. The Express also offers superior comfort and accessibility. A low lift-over cargo hatch makes loading and unloading the Express Cargo easier than loading and unloading the E-Series Ford. Adding to the standard right side sliding door, the Chevrolet Express Cargo offers a segment-exclusive driver’s side rear sliding door. This door makes it much easier to load and unload passengers. The E-Series Van, of course, fails to offer a driver’s side rear door.

Warranty: In the end, you know that you are guaranteed nothing short of total excellence with the Chevy Express because it’s backed by the full confidence ofChevrolet’s industry-leading powertrain warranty—which covers the Express 40,000 miles longer than Ford covers the E-Series! The Camaro’s corrosion warranty is also 1 year longer than the Mustang’s. Clearly, if Ford was as confident in its E-Series Van as Chevrolet is in its Express Van, then Ford would offer an equivalent guarantee—but Ford doesn’t.

At Art Gamblin Motors, we are so pleased to know that the Chevy Express offers the highest power, performance and ultimate versatility of any Van in its segment. Because of this, we are confident that you will find the Express that exactly meets and even exceeds your expectations and needs. So we invite you to come test drive a new Chevrolet Express with us here in Enumclaw Washington and experience the Express’s high level of performance and value for yourself. You will surely appreciate our welcoming pressure-free environment staffed by friendly expert sales associates. Most importantly though, we have been family owned and operated for over 40 years, which is why we treat all our customers as family.
