It has very few shortcomings for the type of car it's generally classified as.

After three months of pouring $80 of gas into a 2008 Jeep Liberty, I headed up a car hunt with a top priority on fuel efficiency. I ended up with a 2010 Chevrolet Aveo, and it surprised me in so many pleasant ways. It's a very effective little car, and then some. Despite some irritating features such as on star and day running lights, the car is extremely fun to drive. It glides like an eagle, quickly and quietly. Its powerful, both mechanically and electrically, and it uses a very intelligent design. It's pretty tough and durable for its size. It looks a little less sharp than average for its size and type, but its roomy, comfortable, and reliable. I would recommend it, very highly.

I cannot be happier with this car! I have the 1LT with Black Metallic paint, XM Radio, rear spoiler, driver convenience package, driver information center, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, and automatic transmission. The car is extremely quiet both inside and out. All the doors shut with a luxury sound (unlike the tin can sound on other economy cars). Fuel mileage is great - - I average 36-40 MPG @ 68 MPH on the highway depending on wind direction/terrain. In the city the average is more like 29 MPG. Visability out of all windows is great. For me their is no blind spots. With OnStar and a supurb warranty (100K powertrain) you cannot go wrong!

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!

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
