Used 2010 Chevrolet Aveo Consumer Reviews
Aveo Manual shift
You must have a dealer change the oil & filter as the clutch assembly is wedged against the filter housing. It is absurd. After a year finally got a dealer tech. to admit is was a poor design from chevy & they stopped making such. However, chevy never told us about this problem or did a recall. Also the dealers now tell us that they only can change the oil as the whole clutch assembly must be dropped and the filter itself cost extra. Also there is always residual oil drops from the change and the burning smell in the engine. Our idea was to have an inexpensive & easily maintained car, which it is not, it is just cheap! We have received NO satisfaction from the dealers.
Don't Waste Your Money
Overall the 09 Chevy Aveo5 LT is an "okay" economy vehicle. Plus side is safety, Eco-Friendly, gas mileage and some what dependable. This car would be a great car for a high school/ college student. Not a family vehicle!!! If you decided to purchase this vehicle, please get all warranties and extended warranties. Please take the car to your nearest Chevy Dealer and have all recalls changed immediately. This will save your life (trust me). There isn't much room in the vehicle and there are several problems with the A/C of the vehicle. If you live in Alaska or a cold climate, then you're good. Sucks in FL.
Aveo? More like Ave-go!
I had bought my Aveo from our local Chevrolet dealership when the vehicle was taken in as a trade-in and when I had to move on from my previous Chevrolet (A Cobalt LT). At first, the car was nothing special, and it had some issues that, for whatever reason, no Chevy dealership near here or there could seem to fix. It got to the point that after constantly calling Chevy's toll-free number they actually gave me what equated to a 3-year factory warranty, during which time I had to pay for nothing but routine stuff (oil changes, tires, etc). So, you would think that this car was a total waste of money, and you're probably wondering why the rating that I have given it. Well, after logging some highway miles on it and making some longer travels, the car warmed up and really came to life. In fact, it turned out to be such a pleasant surprise that, although the car has been fully paid off for nearly a year, I opted to keep it while picking up a new 2019 vehicle so I could keep it in the fold and have a backup plan that I'm quite familiar with. While the Aveo does sport a 1.6 liter engine, it's more than ample for the weight of the car, and the handling, drive, and braking system are all top notch, while keeping in mind that for multiple months at a time there are winter tires on the front of it. It does have its faults (lack of technological advancements, suspension system lacks), but for the dollar, this little guy has been very much worth the investment made, and I look forward to it continuing to provide me some great drives for many more months and years yet to come!

piece of junk
I bought this car new in 2009, I use to but toyota, but I thought I'd give them a chance. It was the biggest mistake I have ever done. Right now I am under the lemon law. Engine keeps missfiring. just had worked on again, Chevy said that they would compensate me for my problems, but when I asked the to give me a 2 year extended warrenty. They said no the best they could is give me is free maintence for a year. Wow free oil changes. Way to go Chevy, thats how you take care off your customers. Once this car is paid off, I will dump it fast. Will be going back to Toyota.
I paid for this!!
This car sucks giant piles of rehashed rubber tires. Worthless. Malfunctions all the time. The latest is the awesome engineering where they put the transmission cooler inside the radiator... YES, inside it. 6 years old, 38k miles and the cooler erodes inside the radiator sending trans fluid into radiator and radiator juice into the tranny. Brilliant!!! Jack wagons. This car was built to fall to pieces so that the consumer is forced to buy a new vehicle. This car is criminal and GM should repay everyone of us who bought the scrap heap. I will NEVER buy a Chevy again. E V E R ! ! ! ! ! ! Tempted to leave that pos at the dealership!
