"and the Holden Cruze suffered a 32 per cent decline to 24,421"

Having owned a Cruze since new that has done 60k kms I can understand why sales have dropped 32%
The Captiva which is a crossover SUV based on the Cruze floorpan is nothing to write home about either.

Mother has a 4 year old Kia sportage which seems to have been put together far better than the Cruze which is now rattling like an old tractor both in the body and in the engine.
I feel embarassed driving it.
