  Great Little Car! - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By JOHN RAMP - July 11 - 9:06 pm

  Remember what youre buying this car for. Shes a great little economy car- nothing fancy, but she still gets a lot of "thumbs up" on the highway from teenagers and old folks. The 1600 4- cyl scoots pretty well considering I have an automatic. I travel a lot of highway miles and keep it around 70mph constantly. Consistently get around 34 mpg. Not even close to my old Festivas 44 mpg, but this is a much better built car. It has tons of storage when the rear seat is folded down. Best $11,000 car you can buy.

  Best buy for the price. - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Acid Burn - July 10 - 1:23 am

  Im not going to lie and say this car is perfect, its not. For the money that you will be paying you do get a well built, logically laid out veh that will perform resonably well. Dont expect to be passing Corvettes in this thing, or Chevettes for that matter, but if you opt for a manual transmission you can compensate by downshifting which does sacrifice some of the gas mileage but makes passing less of a joke. In the hatchback model you do have a surprising amount of storage when the rear seats are folded down, but with the seats in the upright position, dont plan on fitting anything more that a few grocery bags back there before its full. A++ for first time buyers or for a cheap fix.

  Wonderful little car !! I just love it ! - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Thiago - July 8 - 2:58 am

  This car is amazing! I love to drive it, all of my friends changed their thoughts about this car after riding in it. Im not so exited about the gas mileage, but I think its ok, it still breaking-in... A little over 3000 miles so far. 4 months of use.Its a 5 speed manual, with AC, rear defrost and wiper. Nothing else. Why? The more "things you have in a car, the more youll 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 its over 90F outside. Fellas, you cant go wrong with this car! If you are buying a new one try this out. Youll love it!

  I love this car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By BrianOHu2005 - July 1 - 7:22 pm

  I bought my car a little over a year ago. This has been the best car Ive ever had. It gets great gas mileage, is fun to drive, fairly comfortable, and it has an amazing amount of room inside for being no bigger then it is. So far, it has also been the most reliable car Ive ever had. Althought I would never shop at this dealer again, I would buy this car again.

  A Good First New Car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Iowa Aveo - June 29 - 2:27 pm

  I purchased this car last month and it is my first new car. So far it has had no problems at all. The interior is huge for a little car (bigger than the Echo) . I would almost say that it feels like driving a small minivan. Pick-up is pretty good for a small car. The interior design reminds me very much of the interior of the new VW Beetle - and to a lesser extent, the Jetta. This definitely does not look or feel like an American-built car (which it isnt).

  2005 aveo - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By m wade - June 29 - 2:00 pm

  I love my Aveo. I picked bright yellow with the spoiler on the back and it looks super sporty. It is great when I go shopping. Ijust open the hatchback and voila. It is easy to wash since it is not a huge SUV, 30 minutes tops. I get a lot of looks going down the road and lots of compliments and questions. My kids love it too. I love the gas mileage it gets. I can drive to JFK on a full tank and back. Its an awesome little car.

  Poor handling on the highway - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By TedK - June 11 - 2:34 am

  We found it was hard to pass vehicles on the highway. The tachometer swings wildly and the car gets stuck in low gear, with drivers behind us giving us an annoyed look. The ABS of this car also gives problems when trying to slow down during an exit from the highway. It actually veered offroad into a collision. The car is too small to handle well in windy conditions. Overall, while some may like the head room and drivers seat, my old Toyota Corolla is way ahead of this car in terms of reliability and and highway handling.

  What a great little car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Cactus - June 7 - 4:23 am

  Ive had my Aveo LS about 3 months now and all I can say is WOW! What a great little car. Handles beautifully, quiet, comfortable, and suprisingly quick. Its an aqua color, and it really stands out. I get looks and questions about it all the time. Living in rural Iowa, people come up to me and their first question is usually, "what is that?" I love it GM! Keep up the good work.

  Fun to drive - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By joe - April 16 - 3:30 am

  I bought this car on Nov 17th last year, and now have over 36,000 miles on it and have not had any problems at all. I am 61" and a big guy but have plenty of room in the Aveo. Great looking well made car, even though its really a Daewoo!!
