Chevrolet fiddles with the trim levels -- last year's base model is now the LS, while last year's LS model is now the LT.

Pros:
  • Low price, nimble handling, ample headroom, logical control layout, available MP3 player, loads of cargo room in hatchback models.
Cons:
  • Not much power, imprecise manual shifter, side airbags not available.

  • Dont Buy It! - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    Like many people, I need an economical vehicle that will get me from point A to point B. This car is economical, but not very trustworthy. I would not buy it again. As it is, mine has less than 30,000 miles on it and is starting to do things such a new car should not do. It occasionally hesitates upon starting, it makes strange sounds when it is running, the gas light quit working, and its rattling itself apart (the drivers side armrest rattles when driving). I dont trust the car any more and am looking into getting rid of it before the warranty runs out. Of course, its not paid off and this car is worth nothing as a trade in. Bum deal! Dont fall for it like I did!

  • My aveo - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    After months of looking online for my perfect car i finally found it in an aveo ls. The look of the car was the first thing that pulled me to it. It has a very foreign look about it, not like many cars u see in the united states. once u get past the looks many other things attracted me to this car. The most expensive model only priced out at alittle over 13,000 and alot of things u might consider options on others cars all came standard on this one. I am very happy with my purchase of this vehicale and would buy another one in a heart beat given i had the money.

  • Gas mileage and air conditioning bad - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    Truly enjoy this car, but gas mileage stinks. Only 22 mpg. AC barely takes edge off in hot weather. Took it in to dealership and all checks out. Cant complain about anything else at all. Was in front end collision and the passenger compartment had no damage at all!

  • Beware! - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    I am so disapointed in this little car, not only has been in the shop 3 times, in the last year from a fuel pump to the transmission, but what the heck is this the gear ratio will not allow the trans to shift from 2nd to 3rd if the temp is below 65 degrees!? So the trans revvs up to an unhealthy sound just to go down a 40mph street. I regret buying this car and I am now trying to get rid of it!!! They told me I would get almost 40mpg, ha! the most I have gotten is 34 and that is open freeway cruise set at 60mph. I will never buy anything from Chevy again, Im going forgien!

  • Um... its ugly. - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    My Dad bought it for me when my 1985 Toyota pickup blew a head gasket. All of the girls at my school think its cute, but I still say its ugly. iI was happy to work on the Toyota till it ran again. Im a 17 y/o girl and I pretty much hated my car until my Dad bought graphics to put on the side. So now its not as ugly, but Im still not really fond of it. It works for going too and from school, but not for working with my horses. So its not really all that great for a farm girl.

  • very good small carI drive 100 mile - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    I drive a 100 miles a day to work. The car does what I got it for. The mileage with out the air on is very good. With the air on, you get about 36 miles per gal. 2yrs and no problems.

  • Best Value - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    This is a very good first car, slow but good acceleration, good fit and finish, and great paint color (victory red). Only thing I dont like is no side airbages.

  • Got to love it - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    I have had my Aveo for 8 months now and I am thrilled with it. I have been averaging 35 MPG in city driving and about 42 on the highway. My car has been an absolute thrill to drive around the hills of West Virginia. I cannot think of anything that I would change about this car.

  • Wow, what a car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    I love this little car. I have never owned a small car. It is fun to drive in city or highway. The engine is a bit small especially if going up hill. Good gas mileage with automatic trans. 26 city 37 highway. No problems so far after 19000. There is room for 4 big people even on long trips. The front seat is a bit uncomfortable for a big guy. I have notice driving thru snow is a little more difficult, maybe the tires and not the car.

  • Its not a muscle car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    It took me a while for me to remember the last time you could buy a brand new car for less than 7k. Im impressed with the economics of the deal. Its a fun a little car to drive. I hope the information on the fuel economy is accurate.
