So the car that replaced the car that replaced the Cavalier weighs 3500lb
with a four cylinder diesel in it?

Snip.Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic
feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank.
That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be
refilled at least every 10,000
Looks like a 55 gallon drum of 'diesel exhaust fluid' is about $150-200.

Okay, you convinced me. What's the best riding, best seated car for long
