Cruze a good first car?

I am planning to buy a used 2010 Holden Cruze as my first car here. Is it a good option to go for, or are there other cars I should look at? My budget is around $14,000.

I couldn’t recommend the Cruze; there are too many problems with its auto transmission, as we have reported here at CarsGuide. Look at the Mazda2 or Mazda3, Toyota Yaris or Corolla, which are generally trouble free.
