2007 Chevrolet Aveo Aveo5 review from North America

The rear passenger window leaked rain in, but when I tightened the window all the way up it stopped for the most part, I scratch the bottom of my car/front bumper when I was using a driveway to turn around makes me sad, the hubcaps are nice, but hard to clean and I have scratch them already. I have too many scratches on my bumper already from highway driving. Generally not anything like a real american (it's Deawoo made in Korea). The gearbox has a funny feeling compared to others, it is still getting broken into, but it feels like its getting used to my shifting habits. Overall I love it, big windows are nice, but they blow too much dust into my eye, just the new sitting position compared to my old coupe is different, like the handling, I love the steering, I have heard that there is a problem with the gas tank and I should not fill up and top off, so I just get enough gas to have over 3/4 of the tank when I fill up. I have the SVM and I have no AC or CD, but I like the radio a lot for what it is. My First car on my own and I love it, sad I scratch the cheap plastic so easily inside and out. still getting used to the dimensions. I like it better then the sedan version. I like the easy park, turning radius and the suspension has made me happy so far. Engine is loud, but it's to be expected from a 4 banger,I don't race this car, it's not one to be ran hard. I am afraid of the funny feeling transmission. still excited about new car. it's very cheaply made and it shows, but I have always secretly wanted a deawoo matiz and this is as close to a matix as it gets. :) gas millage is right on 30 mpg and I hope it improves, I drive slower 60 and less usually and they say I have to drive 75 if I want to get the gas millage, don't know how true that is, if you could clear it up I would appreciate. :) Gave up a fully loaded luxurious coupe for this car and still loving.
