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

Aveos Rock - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
By Aveo-Luvr - April 28 - 8:38 pmThe Aveo is much more spacious than it initially looks. Even though it is the most inexpensive model, it rides very smoothly and you dont hear every crack in the road. It is the first new auto I have ever owned and I recommend it to anyone commuting or even as a first car. They are inexpensive, the insurance is inexpensive, and they get great gas mileage. They have a lot of get-up-and-go for such a small engine. I love my AVEO!!!

Awesome for the price - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
By M Henry - April 26 - 11:29 amI like this little car. Ive got rabbits, and if I go on trips with them the carriers fit well in the back seat without giving up too much front legroom. My wife is a bit heavy, and I can feel the handling difference when shes in the car, but its not bad at all. Me and a buddy of mine run time trials through a little curvy section of road and it feels pretty tight at 45 and you never feel like youre going to roll. I could complain about the mileage, but I figure its less to fill up than my co-workers that drive big trucks everyday so its not bad. I drive a little rough on it but still get a decent 27-28 mpg.

Maintenance Nightmare - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
By Cindy - April 22 - 11:09 amWe bought this car new and it has been in the shop 6 times in under a year from issues with the clock, parking brake not holding car on hills even in park, Blower motor issues, suspension crunch problems in the front end, brake problems , do yourself a favor and stay away from this little time bomb, we traded it in last week with 10,000 mi on her and bought a new Cobalt LS Sedan, this car is so much nicer inside and it gets better mileage than the Aveo did, It has more power and a way better ride and the price was about the same as the Aveo

Little Orange Slice - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
By Greg - April 18 - 11:48 pmI purchased my Aveo as a second car to commute to work in. I really like it the gas milage is pretty good. The little car rides great and is very comfortable. I have a PT Crusier and the Aveo is very similer in the sitting position. I love the bright spicy orange color, it stands out.

Great little car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
By Tara - April 6 - 1:17 pmI got my car in September of 2005 and I now have almost 19,000 miles on it. I really love to drive this car and its great for both in-town and long distance driving. Great gas mileage. The only problem I have had is defroster noise...and only when its really cold. Theres a lot of room in the car despite its small size.

Great Inexpensive Daily Driver - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
By EllwynX - March 14 - 9:31 amAfter owning this car almost a year/6200 miles its been a very reliable vehicle. Plenty of room for tall drivers despite its small stature. Performs well for a car its price. Plenty of features (power windows/locks/mirror/sunroof, keyless entry, CDw/mp3 capability) for an entry level car. If youre in the market for one now, I say wait for the 2007s to come out. Their look is MUCH improved over the 04-06 and they are getting a few more features not available on the 04-06s. The Aveo was the #1 selling car in its class for 05 and that should continue with the improved 07 model being released this year. My Performance/Fun ratings are low due to my having an 02 Camaro previously.

Great Car, Greater Value - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
By Jim - March 5 - 6:24 pmGreat little car, gas mileage is great and it looks sharp. Many compact cars may get higher ratings, and may score higher when compared but considering that the car only cost me $10,600 with the MP3 stereo as compared to many compacts costing twice that price its an awesome little car. I dont feel that you can acurately compare a $20,000 car to a $10,000 car so as for Consumer Reports they should compare apples to apples. I can say this I have 8800 miles on mine, it has had no repairs, gets great mileage and I would buy it over again given the need or chance.

Aveo - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
By JV - February 23 - 7:30 pmI love my car. All of my friends laugh when they see me in my little yellow car but then when they see my gas bills I get the last laugh. Also, I can fit so much stuff in that car. My sisters four kids all fit and two of them are in car seats. People just dont believe it until they see it. And I have fit TWO 63" men in the back seat of my car with a third passenger in the back seat and they werent sitting with their knees up to their chins either. I just love my car, it is quiet and smooth and it is really cool. It is just great.

I loved it...at first - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
By loreeb18 - January 28 - 9:46 pmI had a 92 Metro that I loved. When it broke, I got a new 2005 Aveo. I thought it was cute and fun to drive. I didnt have a lot of problems at first. But in the past couple months, I had to get my lock bezzle replaced, my fan blower motor was replaced once and is back in again for the same problem, and theres a crack in my brake system (which is why Ive had to refill the brake fluid 3 times in 14 months). My car has been at the dealership for 2 weeks now and Im still waiting to get it back.
