A letter written from a Gamblin Motors Customer on there cross country trip!

On Monday, September 26, 2011, I began what was to become a 7400 mile – 2 1/2 week road trip taking me from Enumclaw, WA through 22 states plus the District of Columbia – a “coast to coast to coast”, around the USA adventure. I traveled east via the I90-I94 corridor and basically returned by way of the I70 route (formerly US 66) with some deviations. This was primarily a personal/family-oriented trip.

The highlight of this trip was that I was driving a rented 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, fairly well loaded with accessories. The purpose of this trip summary is to express my extreme pleasure with this automobile. I think that the Cruze is the best car, overall, that I have ever had the experience of driving. The car performed exceptionally in all environments – from 34 degree, high altitude areas (Montana and New Mexico) to 95 degree, mid-Texas areas. Rain and snow (Chinook Pass, WA) didn’t alter the performance or experience. I was kept at comfortable temperature levels in the driver’s seat with the easy-to-use controls. The entertainment center, primarily using XM Satellite radio or with my attached iPhone/iPod, kept me informed and musically satisfied.There were stretches of highway along the way that I reached the advertised 42 mpg. I mostly averaged about 35-38 mpg throughout the trip. Wow! This Cruze is a wonderful car and Chevrolet should be very proud of their product.
