As an owner of the new Cruze diesel with the 1.6, I can definitely say that it's quiet. Not like a Prius, but basically as quiet as any other 4 cylinder. At stoplights, I occasionally worry that it's died because I just can't hear it (I've been forever scarred by the one time my borrowed vehicle ran out of gas at a light because the float got stuck). I roll down my windows and unless I'm the only one at the light, I don't generally hear it over any other vehicle.This. Hearing the engine will tell.
Honestly, really makes me miss my Jetta. With all my upgrades, particularly the exhaust, it was much more noticeable. Although it is nice to be able to go through drive-thrus without the employees saying "what?" multiple times.
