  I wish I had a reckingball - 2011 Chevrolet Aveo
  By Pat Spinello - March 12 - 11:28 am

  Chevy really blew it on this model. No wonder they discontinued it. I have had numerous issues with this car since the warranty expired(typical). I have had the struts replaced numerous times, wheel bearings replaced, suspension issues, break-line replaced. Ive gone through enough tires that the goodyear guys see me and dance because they know its going to be a big ticket sale. Currently, I cant get my key out of the ignition unless I hold my stick shift to the left and Im also have problems with the shift sticking in park. I really hate this car but I am stuck with it because I cant afford a car payment. It really has given me a bad taste in my mouth for Chevy.

  Spacious little hatchback - 2011 Chevrolet Aveo
  By mirde98 - January 12 - 8:33 pm

  I bought my Aveo5 2LT with 52k on it. I really like the exterior design and the interior is very spacious for a little car. Power is adequate for city driving. Drives comfortable and brakes are strong. AC is weak and so its the radio. MPG is barely ok. I get from 26-28Mpg overall. I have the 2LT AUTO with leather seats, sunroof, rims, and fog lamps. Looks pretty sharp compared to the basic LS.

  For the price, there is NO better - 2011 Chevrolet Aveo
  By riahrachelle - July 21 - 7:15 am

  Quote honestly, I thought I was making a mistake by buying my used Chevy instead of a newer Hyundai, but surprisingly this small car is amazing. The paint holds up and has wonderful shine, e inside is big enough to hold me comfortably, breaking system out of this world. The only complaint I have is the slower acceleration and the difficulty when on the interstate with hesitant shifting. With 108 hp though, who can really expect anymore.? This is a commuter car and should be reviewed as such. For the price, Ive never felt such reliability, no issues with anything and Im about to hit 60,000 miles. Love this car and my next purchase will certainly be a Chevy!

  Basic and uncomfortable death trap - 2011 Chevrolet Aveo
  By marissahill - June 26 - 1:25 pm

  I bought used from rental company with 38k miles. My alternator was out immediately, which is not supposed to happen until 150k miles according to dealership. Beware of where you take the car to get it fixed, because Midas quoted me $600 for part alone (which is not accurate, but part is rare). Gas mileage is way lower than advertised - I am very disappointed. I drive all highway and my 2007 Kia Sportage got better gas mileage than this car. Worst part of vehicle is acceleration. It will not accelerate quickly, which is scary when turning onto busy streets or merging onto freeways. This car has to try so hard just to do basic things. Constantly makes noises and RPM jumps around.

  Great Price-to-Value Ratio - 2011 Chevrolet Aveo
  By duogross - October 19 - 8:13 pm

  First, lets discuss what the 2011 Aveo is not: it is not a luxury car, nor is it a sports car. It is also not a hyper-mileage car that gets 40+ MPG. If you are expecting any of those things, you are sorely mistaken (and, for the price in the low $10,000s, you are also crazy.) What is it? It is a good value for the price. It is a car that gets you from point A to point B. And it does it in reasonable style, reasonable comfort, with reasonable mileage for a good price. Im at 3,600 miles so far and things are going great. I track my mileage carefully and get on average 30-31 MPG combine (I do about 50/50 Hwy/City). Admittedly, I drive in a conservative way. No maintenance issues so far.

  Very Basic Vehicle - 2011 Chevrolet Aveo
  By robert145 - September 22 - 10:14 am

  It will get you from here to there. The feature I hate the most is if you use the key fob to lock the car, you have to hear the horn so I lock it with the key only. I really hate hearing all these car horns honking from a parking lot full of people who have to press the button 3, 4 or 5 times out of obsession. Talk about noise pollution. Why did all these car manufacturers have to add the car horn to the lock. Cant you come up with something quieter?
