This Year's Model Updates:

The Chevrolet Aveo has been significantly updated for 2007. Chevrolet says the sedan model has been fully redesigned, but we believe that to be an overstatement given that its wheelbase and interior dimensions are the same as on last year's model, as are its engine and transmissions. The sedan does have a slightly larger exterior size, all-new styling, improved interior trim and additional feature content in the form of new audio systems, a center armrest and an integrated radio antenna. Meanwhile, Chevy has renamed last year's four-door hatchback the Aveo5 and discontinued its LT trim but otherwise left it unchanged.

Pros:
  • Low price, nimble handling, ample headroom, logical control layout, loads of cargo room in hatchback models.
Cons:

  • Good long Hauler - 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    We just got our Aveo in December. I used it for a business conferance to Lake Geroge - 350 miles across southern NY. I set the cruise at 70 for most of the trip. Im a big fellow - 270 - and I felt the car was pretty peppy. Lots of head room and body room. And considering I averaged 34 mpg, I think the cars a good deal. The dealer sold the car to us for just under 12000, including rebates. All we added was cruise control. We only have three thousand miles on it, but so far it runs like a champ. By the by. I had good winter tires installed at purchased - along with extra rims. The car handles very well in heavy snow and on ice with those tires.

    I traded a 2005 Cobalt for this car. In spite of the smaller size, it is more comfortable, but it doesnt have the driver information center like the cobalt. I had got used to being able to teel the fuel economey and the outside temperature. It also has a ridiculous power lock system that can only be locked with a key when one is leaving the car. The power is adequate and it is quite roomy.

  • Could be a contender, needs attention - 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    I really like driving the car, so it is a fun car with 6k into it. However in severe crosswinds unacceptable howling noise across cowl fuel economy isnt what expected at 25 mpg windshield wipers werent tighten and flopped all over. I want GM to have a contender in this class of vehicle. $12500 isnt cheap! Fix these things and GM will have one on both price and realiablity

  • Great price for a good car - 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    I have a new apreation for econo cars after buying this exceptional example of Chevrolets restyled import. Well worth the price. While true, i had more than my share of problems from the start. First a cracked windshild three days after I drove it off the lot (replaced), then a headlamp fogged up from holding moisture(replaced), lose brake caliper(repaired),rear view mirror mount fell off(replaced), oil pump started leaking after 15K (replaced),squeeking swaybar bushings after 25K(replaced), clunking front suspension(still an isue). After all this you might think i would be bitter, but I just love driving this car! I like the looks i like the handling and I love the MPG at 32/39.

  • Whats Not to Like - 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    Got tired of commuting in my SUV getting 20mpg in summer and 18 in winter. Bought the Aveo on Edmunds study of lowest vehicle cost per mile. We get 31 to 34 in the city commuting and took one trip of 300 miles one way. 31 into the wind of 20+ mph and 38 coming with the wind. Has plenty of power for most needs. Havent found anything to complain about. Does what it was made to do. Economy car shoppers beware of the foreign car hype of high gas mileage, we rented several of them before buying and found them to be lacking in mpg from what the manufacturer advertised. This is made by Daewoo plant to Chevy specs, but at least our money stays in the USA. Good job GM.

  • Fun Little car but gas milage not as adv - 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    I run a service center for a dealer and I am very familiar with cars. I bought American because I am always able to get 250k + out of all my cars. It wasnt until recently that I needed to put my GMC truck to bed and get an import. I looked at Toyota, Nissan (great cars), Mazda, Honda etc. I finally picked the 2007 Chevy Aveo because of price, comfort and gas mileage. However, I am not getting anywhere near 37mpg as my sticker suggested. Believe me I understand driving habbits but this has nothing to do with it. I drive all freeway miles with no A/C on at no more than 70mph and the best milage I get is 30.1mpg. Yes I also tryed going under 70mph and I only got max 32.1 mpg.

  • Chosen over Fit, Versa, Yaris, PTcruiser - 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    I have owned Aveo 5 now for 2 weeks. I chose this vehicle over the honda fit because of price difference (about $3000), Versa because no fold flat or flip and fold seats, Yaris because I needed a 4 door hatch, and PT because of fuel economy. I also chose the Aveo because by far it had the best styling of all of them. The seat covers are durable and attractive and I loved the carbon fiber look trim. On to the driving, it is a much better driving experience than would be expected from a budget sub compact. It is quiet, zippy for such a low horsepower,and overall handles as well if not better than some of the pricier cars I have owned. Plenty of cargo room with flip and fold seats too! Love it!

  • Great, could be better though. - 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    Its a great car for the money. (After all, you wouldnt buy a car like this unless low cost was important to you!) Its very stylish inside and out and seems well made so far (1200 miles). Engine is fuel efficient but I am surprised it isnt more so. Chevrolet and the Korean manufactures of the Aveo could make some simple improvements to make it a great car...variable speed intermittent wipers, actual electronic door lock buttons, more storage, better cup holder location in the front seat, etc. Overall, it is a good car for those on a tight budget.

  • Solid Vehicle Some Unexpected Issues - 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    The interior is solid, performance is good. However, the steering wheel and drivers seat vibrate excessively when idling, the gas mileage is under 20mpg when using the a/c, the struts squeak when going over bumps and the ride is very stiff (you feel every bump).

  • Good Car - 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
    By -

    Overall driving experience witht this car has been good. A little slow on pick up when going up inclines but other than that I have no complaints.
