The Chevrolet Cruze continues to be one of the nation's top selling cars but Consumer Reports is giving it mixed reviews. 

A Consumer Reports spokesman said, "The Cruze is a relatively refined car to drive, but the reliability is something GM needs to work on to make sure how the car performs in a competitive marketplace."

The magazine noted that the Cruze is only a year old. 

Consumer Reports ranked the 1.4 litre and 1.8 litre engine models as the last two of 12 small cars rated, citing owner reports of squeaks, rattles, electrical issues, and other minor problems.
