Reliability
I only had my car two year and it broke down on me in the summer and it only had 67,000 miles on it. The thermostat housing melted the auto repair man said that it happened only because of how cheap the car was made and what it was made of. The car being fuel efficient is great but if something happens and it over heats then you need to get a new engine which is worth what the car it worth. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Off to work
I find the Aveo a very fun car to drive. Its interior is extremely large for the size of car it is. Its not nearly a boxy as the Mini Cooper. My friends tell me that I have a new toy. I agree. I have named it Mighty Mouse. It gets pretty good mileage; maybe 28 mpg. If you need a car to commute with, its the one.
Wonderful little car !! I just love it !
This car is amazing! I love to drive it, all of my friends changed their thoughts about this car after riding in it. I'm not so exited about the gas mileage, but I think it's ok, it still breaking-in... A little over 3000 miles so far. 4 months of use.It's a 5 speed manual, with AC, rear defrost and wiper. Nothing else. Why? The more "things you have in a car, the more you'll spend to fix it if something brakes down. Nice and simple. I live in Olathe-KS, I realy need a decent AC, and this one is nice and cool even if it's over 90F outside. Fellas, you can't go wrong with this car! If you are buying a new one try this out. You'll love it!
Fuel economy and driving fun
I needed a vehicle for a 120 mile daily commute and I wanted to start with a new vehicle for the warranty and safety and peace of mind. I have had the Aveo for over 3 months now and I am very happy with it. I just turned over ten thousand miles now, and the fuel mileage is now at 35 mpg, as advertised. The ride is excellent, handling is very good, and the interior room and quietness is good. I drive the interstate daily; its a light car, so big trucks tend to blow it around a little when passing or following them. Its also a car that demands a little more attention in rainy weather or very wet roads, I guess due to its light weight. I highly recommend this vehicle.
"Special Value"
I use my cute little Aveo primarily to commute to work. After all of the various discounts, I paid $8,300 for the special value model. I enjoy knowing that I made a smart decision. I get about 28mpg in the city and 33 on the highway. This little car has a lot of useful room. The rear seat has a special way of folding down to make the back cargo area completely flat and 100% usable. The only thing I really miss is air conditioning. If you want it, you're going to end up paying a lot more. I also wish it had a CD player standard.
