Is a Holden Cruze unreliable?

I am looking to buy a 2013 Holden Cruze CDX 1.8-litre sedan, but I have seen so many negative things about the Cruze.

Do I have to worry about them, or do the problems only affect the earlier models? I checked the service history, which showed me that its oil cooler had to be replaced six months ago. Do I have to be worried?

It’s cars built around 2010/2011 that are the ones affected with the transmission problem, which is the most concerning one. You should be safe in buying the 2013 model, and you have done the right thing in checking the service history.
