Lots Of Car For The Money!

I have been driving this car for almost three years and never had a problem with it (compared to VW...). It just stands there and is ready to go! Almost like a dog. I love it! Also like filling it up at the gas station because it has such good milage.

2008 Chevy Aveo Hatchback

I've owned this used 2008 Aveo for about 6 months. My hatchback is fully loaded but its still pretty basic. I wish the gas mileage was a little better. I have the automatic and average about 28mpg and I spend ALOT of time on the highway, and im not much of a speed demon sooooo.... Also the timing belt problem is a real bummer (NOTE: at 60,000 miles get that belt changed!) My mechanic sees more of these cars on the back of trucks then driving in. I got my timing belt, serpentine belt and water pump changed for $550, but the repairs would of doubled if the belt broke... All in all its pretty decent car. I live in Northern Illinois and this little car handled like a champ in the snow, and if u live up here you know we got a lot of snow!

Highly recommended

I had my aveo for the last 2 yrs and have not given me any trouble at all. I am very much satisfied with my aveo. I highly recommend car lovers to get one. In Philippines Chevy cars are not yet so popular but i think it will change because of this chevy aveo.

Our Aveo saved our life

We purchased the Aveo for our daughter. She had a couple fender benders and the car protected her very well. My wife and I were using it one afternoon, driving 55 mph on the highway and a lady ran a stop sign and hit us. We flipped and ended up on the side of the vehicle in a ditch. We both were able to climb out of the car and are very thankful this vehicle is built as safely as it is. We have our life thanks to the safety features in this vehicle. thanks Chevrolet for the Aveo

i love it

after driving a gas guzzling suv i bought a used 2008 aveo and not sorry i did. it was like a dream going from 14 mpg to well over 30 mpg. yes it is a cheaper built car but in these days the way the economy is the fuel efficient cars are the way to go. my friend has a 2005 with 70K on it and has n had no major problems with it.

extremly bad car.

The Chevrolet Aveo or should I say terrible Aveo was the absolute worst and I mean worstcar in the history of auto mobils. If you want to buy car don't buy this because it not only has no features but so unstylish. It is just so embarisingly ugly.

a starter car

This is the second aveo,the first was a 04 and was rear ended by a car doing 40mph,did not look that bad but repairs were more than car was worth. So far no problems. Daughter using car for school she loves it,mileage has been over all about 28mph. I am 6 foot 3'' it has plenty of head room and leg room front seats,back seats are ok. Great interior ,outside is nice. A very large trunk.Ya it is slugish on hills and power on flat land it can handle it's self ok. Yes it needs more power ,but it's a fun car to drive.For a starter car it's ok. You get what you pay for it.

The best car EvER

My aveo has been named "willy" and it is the best car ever! i have had it for over a year and the only trouble i have had is with the tires, the front ones were bald, and had to be replaced, a lot sooner than my other cars, however, it's probably due to the driving conditions, and not the car. The inside is nice and roomy, and i love the way the seats fold in- plenty of room for 2 big dogs. the sound system is nice, and I love the way it handels (i also love to rev it up in traffic) ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAR! i plan on keeping it forever.

You get what you pay for

As long as the car is running it's a great buy, but expect to get burned badly for any repairs. I bought the car in April and in our first snow this month the car slid into a curb going 20 mph. Repair cost was $1300. ($600 for a new rim) The reason I lost control the Chevy service department concluded was the tires were shot. I accept it's my fault for not checking them, but after 6 months it never occurred to me I'd need new tires. Replace cost PER TIRE - $152! I like the car. There's nothing fancy about it, but what can you expect for the great price they sell it for. It works perfectly for me as a commuter car, and has a lot of room inside. Road noise is present but not excessive. Just be aware that Chevy has not thought ahead to providing support for their costumers with affordable replacement part.
