2005 Chevrolet Aveo consumer reviews

I have 78K miles on my '05 Aveo, and drive to work 65 miles round trip a day. I do all my own work and other than one set of tires at 40k have done nothing but gas and oil changes. I keep checking the brakes, but they look and work fine! I did change the trans fluid at 50k. It is a little tight inside if you're 6' tall, and dont expect sportscar acceleration with the 1.6L engine. However, you will be rewarded with as high as 38mpg on a long trip. The car gets over 30mpg always, averaging around 33mpg per tank with A/C on and auto trans!

these cars have an interference engine. if it goes your engine is done. just don't buy this car please!!!!!!!!!!!! they go at about 60 k it is not worth buying one especially a used one with high miles. they are very unreliable. poorly made. junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fit and finish... 1. drivers side door lock dislodged and fell inside the door. 2. a/c/heater fan motor very loud. 3. many squeeks, rattles while driving.

IN THE LAST MONTH I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TWICE. THE SERPINTINE BROKE ALONG WITH THE PULLEY SYSTEM.200 BUCKS. THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING WENT.MADE OF PLASTIC.200 BUCKS. OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACEMENT.300 BUCKS. I'M LOOKING FOR A GEO METRO CONV.

I love my Aveo. I have had it for four years and have only had one problem about 6 months ago. A belt came loose and it cost about $80 to repair. Gas Milage is great. Sound system is also great. The only thing I wish mine had was cruise control. This is a good car for a young person or a family of four. The one thing the Aveo is not good for is hauling stuff. The trunk is big but not big enough to get a decent amount of stuff moved in one trip. Absolutely worth the money and I don't plan on trading my Aveo in for a while.

I had to burrowed my friends Aveo, because my Kia was in the shop (Story of its life!). I was very surprised that Chevy was actually able to build a decent subcompact. When the Aveo first came I first thought it was just going to be another Chevy metro with a different name, but it turned out to be a much better car. The Aveo is some what roomy except leg room for the driver could be improved, maybe if chevy would got rid of the foot it would make it a lot better. Handling is good and the steering feels very tight and predictable. Its no sports car but the engine seemed to have a enough power to keep up with traffic with three decent size people. I would like more otions than what my friend has, I have been looking and only find a few that are well equipped. Other than that, good car. Thinking about trading in the Kia asap.

i bought my aveo 5 months ago used. could not get it out of park. it was the brake light switch. driver's side key hole is broken. the tranmission slips. I MISS MY FESTIVA!!!!!!!

We purchased this car new for my son, who is a musician. My only change would have been to get the hatchback, to make equipment loading easier. I drive a van, since I am a chubster, but I was surprised at the comfort and peppy performance I was getting, even with the automatic. Kind of bland exterior, but solid, reliable and economical (price, gas and upkeep)

The very first tank of gas, I got 40 mpg on the highway, and that's why I bought it! I have not been disappointed yet. The money that I save on fuel is makes the payment on my Aveo. I leave the SUV at home.

I really like this car, had to get catalytic converter replaced but was covered under warranty. Im averaging 30mpg in the city and at $3.99 a gallon is alot better than most cars at this price.
