Cruze is fine as a commuter. Drives pretty well and is pretty comfortable. I had one. $164 a month but it saved me at least that in gas and tires over driving my other car (ZL1) for the 27,500 miles that I drove it.
I loved it. I did a one pay $1134 for 24/20k and drove it 9 months before hitting 20k and returning it. A fully loaded Cruze would be awesome, but even just having android auto, satellite xm, heated seats, blind spot monitors and 35-40 mpg hwy, it was a great commuter. for those of us that drive 3 hours daily to work and back, 0-60 times only save 1 second of our life. I put the sports car in the garage to blow off steam on weekends only.
I’ve driven several of them as rentals and they’re actually not bad. Hook up carplay with heated leather seats and it’s not a bad drive for a cheap commuter.
I think you did fine. I looked at doing the same thing on my Encore. If I burn through the miles they said I could just turn it in. No early term fee since it was a one-pay. Next time I really would look at 15k/yr. For a few $ more you could have drove it another 3 months. 
I suppose you could have paid another $500 or so and driven a total of 30k miles.
A week after I got the Cruze, I got a Volt. Driving that now:D
If they send you a letter saying you will owe anything other than disposition fee, throw the letter away.
Also, if you turn it in more than a year early, there are minor differences in the process.
What I meant was that when you originally leased your Cruze. The cost to up the mileage from 10k/year (20k total) to 15k/year (30k total) would have cost you around $500 (or so).
wow that is a lot. 50% more.
What did you get when you turned the car in? Were you able to get a similar deal?
i had already leased a Volt that was in the garage until I returned the Cruze. So i just started driving the Volt.
