Took these pictures. It's not perfect but a lot better. She seems to drive so much better, clean.
Exterior. I really have grown to love that color. A lot.
And the interior. It needed the most cleaning.
Sorry for the crap-ish pictures. I used my phone.
Also, I haven't been to the FP yet, however, after reading all your posts I think I will just stay here. It's nice here.

I try to keep it up but honestly I have been so busy and stressed, it took a back burner. I feel so much better driving it now. I also think it helped my allergies. Shocker.

How do you like the cruze? I'm considering it now that my focus stalls every 15 or so feet

Honestly, it's the best car I have ever owned. It strikes a good balance between comfort and handling. Never too soft or really sporty. It's competent. The 6 speed manual is short-ish on the throws and is direct and lacking that notchy feeling. The clutch feel and take-up is devoid of feeling but it gets the job done.
Interior wise the quality is really very good. Low sheen plastics that are easily cleaned (as well as the seat fabrics) give off a higher class look than it is. Doors close with a thud and nothing feels like tin. It's a solid ride. I wish the steering wheel rim was thicker but I was spoiled by my Astra on that end.
The seats are comfortable for my frame (5-8 and 185lbs.) Decent side bolstering while being long drive comfortable. The back seat is lacking in a ton of leg room but I don't carry any passengers usually. Trunk is huge.
Get the Pioneer sound system if you can. It's worth the extra dollars. It's a great looking car in my opinion too. Well proportioned. From a reliability standpoint, I have had no issues and have taken two Cruze's to over 36,000 miles. That's not a lot, I know but no issues.
I bought this Cruze because it had a manual and I had missed the Cruze I sold previously that much. It's definitely worth a look. Get the turbo 4. Ignore the base 1.8. This post seems like I am rambling. Sorry. I just like the car that much.
