I'll buy the crank windows, but I doubt the cruise control. I'll check it out myself. My guess is you're not seeing it because it's standard on all but the LS model.
 
Did you see how far off-the-chart (the wrong way) the Focus is for problems, if you follow CR? Like 100% off average.

Wrong again, anything.
 
Standard on the LT's:

Then they've added it on. 2011 you couldn't...

I don't believe that either.
 
And, here's the proof:

YAHOO? lol.
 
My proof came straight from a dealer in 2011. No CC available, but would add it on for $525.00... Even said it with a straight face when he told me
 
"There is no Standard Cruise Control available in the Chevy Cruze..."
 
Maybe they added it on when they redesigned the steering wheels so they wouldn't fall off...

You clearly didn't open the link. It was the 2011 Cruze ordering guide, from Chevrolet.
 
Your dealer was a putz--clearly a possibility.

Those yahoo boards are blocked here at work, so it's not that I don't believe you but I personally never use them as a valid source...
 
I've done a bit of searching and all I came up with was no Cruise available on "Manual transmission" models. But nothing really directly related, just some Op pieces...

It wouldn't be the first time a dealer didn't know his product line. I've had that experience several times.
 
It defies logic that a modern vehicle along the lines of the Cruze would not have factory installed cruise control available...
 
Edit:

Cruise was available on the 2011 Automatic trans. model...

I agree. I have seen the same thing on stripper versions of other makes tho, like the last gen Honda Civic DX and some base model Scions/Toyotas.
 
But it was humerous to me how a car called "Cruze" would omit a feature of the same name. Just seems like they left the door wide open for criticism...

I wasn't. He really has had trouble with his Honda mower.
 
I also had a Honda self-propelled mower, which I fortunately no longer have.
 
I always felt the HP stated on the engine was highly overstated, and the gearbox had an average 3-4 year lifespan (my lawn is approx. 1/4 acre). After the second transmission played out, I let the mover go to the landscaping product graveyard.
