• Low price, nimble handling, ample headroom, logical control layout, available MP3 player, loads of cargo room in hatchback models.

  Not bad for money! - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By i_l_ aveo - December 5 - 5:20 pm

  Aveo is made in Korea, a car popular overseas as Daewoo. KALOS design in Italy. I got only 24 mpg in street with auto transmission. Accelerator pedal become shaky at 65 mph. Its hard for the 1.6L engine to go up a hill; I could not reach 45 mph on Verazzano Bridge NYC. Car has slow acceleration. Weak engine made by GM and not as fuel economical as I sought

  Great Commuter Auto - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By slogger - October 8 - 4:53 pm

  I have owned the Aveo for several months. My city gasoline consumption is 29.3mpg. No mechanical problems so far. I paid a bit over $11K. The radio/CD is OK, but not great. Handling is quick at less than 45mph but a touch vague at freeway speeds. I purchased this auto because it was inexpensive. I also looked at the VW Golf Diesel and Honda Civic Hybrid. The Aveo provides many of the same features for $10K less...and that, in my mind, makes up for the lower fuel economy.

  Great Little Car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Sealy - July 15 - 10:00 am

  We purchased this car to run around town as it is small and gets good gas mileage. So far I have approx 1800 miles on it and figure i get 34 miles to the gallon (combined city and freeway driving). Didnt need all the extras so we bought the econo package. I LOVE my little "Orange Blossom" (got the orange one. I think it is a neat little car and it handles just great NO PROBLEM finding parking spaces. So far, I have found no faults with the car. Big bang for the bucks!!!!!!!!!

  Off to work - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By oribhabor - July 2 - 12:00 am

  I find the Aveo a very fun car to drive. Its interior is extremely large for the size of car it is. It’s not nearly a boxy as the Mini Cooper. My friends tell me that I have a new toy. I agree. I have named it Mighty Mouse. It gets pretty good mileage; maybe 28 mpg. If you need a car to commute with, it’s the one.

  Busy Mom/Teacher vehicle - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Lisa Winstanley - August 27 - 3:26 am

  Fun to drive, great on gas and for a busy teacher on the go it is great. It has ample room for 3 teenagers to travel. I love the CD player and keyless entry features. I am averaging around 29 to 32 miles per gallon go to a from work.

  New car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By saintsbbal - May 30 - 5:40 am

  My Aveo is a nice vehicle for my purposes. I get great gas mileage. It handles well on the highway. It doesnt blow the doors off of anyone, but its got a little zip once it gets going. My only complaint is the steering pulls to the left a little.

  Weak but nice. - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By New user - July 25 - 10:00 am

  The Aveo has slow accelation forcing you to punch it to accelerate into traffic. The fit and finish is good for a low end vehicle. The vehicle is very good in cramped spaces.

  Surprising "cheap" car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By MN driver - June 26 - 10:56 am

  Having had a LOT of different cars (all price ranges including Lexus), I was looking for a real cheap drive to work car. The Aveo has proven so far to be a very acceptable ride. My only complaint is the choice of tires which do not provide much handling especially on ice/snow. The car starts in cold weather (below 0) is quiet has a good radio/ABS/Auto Trans and great interior space. It is a lot of car for the low price.

  A base car for the commuter minded - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Stratford - May 22 - 6:46 pm

  The cabin is well thought out, and is roomy for an econobox, the controls easy to read and use, but pedals are too close to each other, and too small. Seats are roomy and have good side bolster, and are also height adjustable. The rear seats are high and ok for kids. Performance is what can be expected for 103 horses, but more than adequate for on ramps to the interstate. The trunk is plenty roomy and rear seats fold down. Style wise...well who cares this car is for commuting, and economy which in the city is about 30, and 40 mpg on the hwy. The Aveo is an economy car, and doesn’t pretend to be anything but. Smart car, great in traffic, and at the gas pump. I got a new 04 with air, for $8300.
