We rented a Chevrolet Cruze in April and were impressed at how well it was made, although the quality didn't extend to the steering, which was vague. In May we rented an Opel Corsa in France and it seemed better built than North American GM products, probably due to the more competitive European market where there is far more variety of similar vehicles to choose from. The Opel's handling outclassed the Cruze by a long shot, even with, for some reason, rear drum brakes instead of discs.
