2005 Chevrolet Aveo LS review from North America
"Garbage on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car only gets about 12 MPG since it was purchased from a Chevrolet dealer here in FL. This is the first new car and will be the LAST. This car has the worst gas mileage of anything I own. My trucks get better gas mileage. There is also a whole lot of oil leaking out, and when I changed the plugs at 30,000 miles, they were covered in oil. We tried to get GM to correct this, but it's not fixable.
We most recently took the car to a different Chevrolet dealership, and were told that the oil was from a dirty air filter. We replaced the air filter, and still have oil on the spark plugs and crappy gas mileage.
DO NOT GET AN AVEO!! They are renamed Daewoo cars, this was confirmed. Chevy bought this crappy car company in Korea and now they are dumping em on us. GM dealers like also refuse to honor factory warranty for repairs that are necessary. I will have to do like 2000 dollars in repairs to keep the car running. I will never buy GM again.. going to get a Honda Civic next.
General comments?
Worst car I ever had in my life. Worst gas mileage!
