Driving Routines 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Eco Review

September 25, 2014 by Momstart 1 Comment

Wow, as a mom of two there is a lot of shuffling around all the time. That doesn’t even include the acting and modeling auditions that they need to be shuttled to and from. But it does include dance, and piano and groceries and moms are on the go go go. Chevrolet that it would be a good idea for me to put the fuel-efficient 2014 Cruze Eco to the mom go go go test.

Centered by the strong, attention-grabbing grille, its swept-back lamps lead the eye across sculpted fenders, around the sides and back again. And don’t forget that those curves, lines and angles do more than just please the eye and turn heads. They improve aerodynamics; in the end optimizing fuel efficiency† and helping you get the most out every gallon. And I got the most out of every gallon.

The Chevrolet Cruze Eco was dropped off on a Thursday and we drove it in the sun in the rain and to the grocery store and home. We drove to the park and to piano and to dance class. We drove and drove and drove and it was only around town errands that every mom and dad do on a daily basis.

It drives very different from my current car. The gas pedal responds differently but I can say that it has some power. This car has go go go juice and the kids liked it. I was really tempted to do circle eights in the church parking lot one day with them but I let my self conscience get the best of me.

One draw back is the back seat buckles, the latches don’t pull out at all so the kids had a hard time buckling their seats by themselves and it’s a pain for me to have to help both of them.  At age six and seven I’ve really enjoyed their self reliance when it comes to the car.

With advanced aerodynamics and a 1.4L turbocharged engine, it gives you advanced fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. Cruze Eco delivers 138 horsepower with 148 lb.-ft. of torque and accelerates with authority.

The car has a lot of technology in it.:

With Chevrolet MyLink†, all your favorites are in one place, conveniently displayed on the 7-inch diagonal color touch-screen. You can stream music, get directions, access your personal contacts and more. Just connect your compatible smartphone via Bluetooth® wireless technology† or USB port. Use voice controls, steering wheel controls and the touch screen to access features such as hands-free calling and texting, SirusXM Satellite Radio†, Stitcher™ Smart Radio† and all your own MP3s.

Stay connected to your Cruze with myChevrolet† and OnStar RemoteLink™† mobile apps. Start your vehicle (if equipped)†, check diagnostics, unlock doors, contact roadside assistance, keep track of routine maintenance and more. Available for download from the iTunes Store and Google Play.

RemoteLink Key Fob Services† are a component of the OnStar RemoteLinkTM† app that gives you access to features such as remote start as well as locking and unlocking—even when miles away from your vehicle. This is included for five years after purchase of your 2014 Chevrolet vehicle, with or without a paid OnStar® subscription. With Remote Link Key Fob Services, you can unlock your automatic door locks remotely if your keys are locked inside or in case of an emergency. With factory installed and enabled remote start, you can also remotely start or turn off your car, which is helpful for cooling or heating the inside of your vehicle, and activate your vehicle’s horns and lights to help locate it in a crowded parking lot.

Travel Work Play & Fun Chevrolet Built In Wi-Fi #Chevy4G

August 17, 2014 by Momstart 2 Comments

Do you know how many times I’ve been on a road trip and worked while my husband was driving? It’s awesome to be able to work while being on the road. The thing is, I have to have my hotspot with me or use my cell phone, and well that eats my data pretty quickly. One thing that I’ve really been wishing was that my car was the hotspot, well guess what, it’s happening. Chevrolet did it and is the first and only car company to bring built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi to cars, trucks and crossovers. Now passengers can work and play on their devices while being on the go.

The hotspot is OnStar. The 4G LTE Wi-Fi is the ultimate Wi-Fi hotspot. It offers great signal quality and bandwidth for up to seven devices. My phone wouldn’t let that many people on it and my phone is limited in service through the mountains. The available OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot provides a better in-vehicle experience than your smartphone. The stronger signal delivers a fast, reliable connection. It’s automatically on after initial setup and ready to connect to your mobile devices. It’s super exciting news to me.

Whenever your car is on, the Wi-Fi hotspot is on. Think of the possibilities. You’re lost and you need to find something and your phone signal doesn’t work. Or what if you’re camping and it’s pouring down rain? Everyone can play on a device. Kids won’t drive you crazy on the road trip if they can stream their movies while you drive. I love being disconnected sometimes; it’s a great way to connect as a family, but it’s also nice after driving for hours to give the kids a movie. Sometimes after a few hours, a mom needs a little silence and the best way to get it is to put on a movie. I’m so in love with this technology advancement that it puts me in the mood to go on another road trip. LA here we come!

Chevrolet is merging the physical freedom of the car with the virtual freedom of Wi-Fi to become the first and only car company to bring built in 4G LTE Wi-Fi to the largest vehicle line-up. Visit http://s.chevy.com/TBX to learn more.

My Adventure in The Black Widow Chevrolet Corvette Stingray #CaptainAmericaEvent

March 29, 2014 by Momstart 2 Comments

A few months ago I attended the Chicago Auto show and saw the Black Widow Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and feel in love, now this is the car of adventure. My adventure started first by seeing the car debuted by Chevrolet with a preview for the movie Captain America The Winter Solider. It was surreal and over the top which is how all thing Marvel should be handled.

The next day at the Chicago Auto Show I actually got to step into the car and play with it. IMG_0748

It’s a hot car right? It’s so trendy I couldn’t even figure out how to open it at first. The handle is not what you expect for a car. It’s hidden almost. And it’s the same from inside the car. Now, after I exited the car someone let a baby drive. Now, I’m not going to name names, but yeah, the baby got in and tried to run me over.

I think she thought I had her next meal.

Anywho, we had lots of fun playing with the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, next time I hope I actually get to drive it.
