2005 Chevrolet Aveo LS review from North America
"Great car for the price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a dodge neon before that was totaled and did not want to spend much on a car so I bought a Chevy Aveo with no problems yet.
General comments?
My 2005 Chevy Aveo currently has 90,000 miles on it and climbing fast. The only thing that I put money into was the front tires and I am still running the original back tires that have a way to go yet before they go bad.
I have no complaints about this car, I put $8,000 for it new and runs and starts just the same as when I bought the car new. I have a 5 speed and it consistently gets 38-42 MPG. I change the oil every 3,000 miles and use a standard grade oil. The only thing I need to do is change that timing belt which is recommended at 60,000 miles.
I plan on driving it to 200,000 miles which should not be a problem :)
