Good: Cute and has onstar and XM. Bad: Having the Aveo5 for not even 2 years, if I added up all the repairs (warranty or not) they would exceed the cost of the car. Cheap if you can't afford ANY other subcompact but built only to drive to the store and back. Car was in for repairs within 48 hours of purchase. Suggestion: buy a LENGTHY and comprehensive warranty, you'll need it!

I bought this car in 2016 with only 50,000 miles. It was just a stopgap car while we prepared to move abroad. First the obvious things which I had expected..........tires, tire sensors, alignment, battery. One after the other. Brake switch went out and the car was locked in park. Both headlights went out as did the rear flasher. Headlight was due to a melted socket. Valve cover gasket had to be replaced as it leaked oil on the exhaust manifold. Most of the air conditioning failed as did the radiator. There went another $2000. Faulty wiring had the check engine light going on and off. Now it is one of the ABS sensors. Guess I'll fix this myself as I did the brake switch. Resale value has dropped about 60% in three years. Should have bought a Toyota. Second Chevy........both were lemons.

I had a daewoo once. It was the worst car I'd ever owned. Turns out this car competing for worst ever as I find out it's manufactured by Daewoo. Coil pack. Coolant hoses bursting. Thermostat. Then thermostat housing cracks. Then the heater core blows followed by the head gasket. I'll buy Nissan from now on. Bought it with 60k miles. Now at 92k.

BUYER Beware

I bought a 2010 Chevy Aveo based due to the fact it was made by Chevy and I wanted a reliable little vehicle that was good on gas. The vehicle rides rough and has no horsepower. It is not good on gas 27 MPH but the worst part about it is that AVEO is not made by Chevy or in the USA. My car has been in the shop for over 20 days due to the fact Chevy can not locate a compressor and can not tell me when they will be able to get the part. I am currently in a rental thanks to the warranty. I have filed a complaint. If it is this hard to get a part when it is only 1 yr old how had will it be able to fix in 2 or 3 years. I am very disapointed. I suggest pay a little more and get a reliable car.

What a piece of junk

Bought this car back in Jan 2010 to use as my daily commuter car. I was comparing to Fit, Versa, Yaris, and Accent. I picked the Chevy because of the low price and lots of incentives. I must say now that i am truly regretting it, I should have spent more and bought the fit. You really do get what you pay for. This car struggles to even get to 40 mph and the 4 spd auto is just lackluster. The check engine light came out 4 times in the 20,000 miles i put on it. Dealer keeps telling me the gas cap is loose and i know i clicked it at least 3 times. Gets 24 mpg overall and that is pathetic. Interior looks and feel cheap, can't hide the fact that its a cheap car. Already lost 5 grand in value, very sad
