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

  My aveo - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Mere - August 4 - 10:00 am

  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.

  By john - April 2 - 8:52 pm

  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 Obsessed - March 24 - 10:00 am

  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 animal70X7 - February 26 - 11:20 am

  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.

  Its not a muscle car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Keith - December 30 - 12:36 pm

  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.

  True Sub-compact - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Sirrep - November 20 - 8:35 pm

  Rover, Chevette, Hornet, Fiat 600, Valnent, Mustang, I have ridden in all of them. This Aveo gives the best, most quiet drive in years. Best bang for the buck, especially if it is on sale at about $9k at the dealer.

  Blue rocket on wheels - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By great little car - September 8 - 7:31 pm

  I needed a car for travel as my job is 3hrs away. I sold my Geo with 248 thousand miles and it had great mileage. This was an inexspensive auto, and thats what I needed. After driving it for 3.5 months, I havent had any problems with it. Im very happy with the car all around. It handles very well driving through the mountains.

  Its a good car - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By brian Spears - August 18 - 10:21 pm

  I think the Chevrolet Aveo is a wonderful car. It sits up high, seats are firm. It has a lot of room, especially with the back seats folded up. The engines not too thirsty. I get about 37 miles to the gallon on the highway, but thats with a K&N air filter, running synthetic oil as well. I firmly believe that it is just as good as a Honda or Toyota, of similar size. The car is getting even better looking in 2007 with available leatherette seats, six disc changer and refreshed exterior.

  Best car (for the $) Ive ever owned. - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By jeramyryan - June 7 - 8:24 am

  My wife and purchased our Aveo Sedan six months ago based soley on the sticker price (less than 10k) and the gas mileage. We were also attracted to the Aveos European style design. The longer we own it, the more happy we are about our decision. Despite what others have said, this car handles very well, especially compared to our Hyundai and it is much more comfortable. Like Dr. Whos Tardis, the inside seems much bigger than the outside-plenty of room, comfortable and ergonomic, with a HUGE trunk. Those who complain about power and a widely spaced transmission seem to forget they are reviewing an economy car. 6 months and no mechanical problems whatsoever.

  Enjoyable, Satisfied - 2005 Chevrolet Aveo
  By m - June 3 - 8:14 pm

  Very easy to drive car. The Aveo is cheap to own and operate. But, its handling, stopping distance, forgiving road manners, and solid ergnomics truly shine. Stopping distances are short. The drivers cockpit is well laid out. Generous headroom, a commanding view, well laid out controls, well tuned steering with McPherson struts, reasonably comfortable seats and solid extras like the card holder, cupholders and overall design make this a very easy, and pleasant car to drive. Even the layout of the oil pan and filter are designed to be owner-friendly. Do yourself a favor and swap out the factory issued front tires, for better rubber. Performance will improve.
