2005 Chevrolet Aveo LS review from North America
"Good value for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no major problems with this car since purchasing it new.
Two minor problems:
(1) The suspension is pretty noisy (lots of creaking). I've had it into the dealer for this several times and they say it is normal.
(2) The air compressor used to make a very loud rattling noise whenever it was used. Had it fixed while under warranty.
General comments?
This car is the most fuel efficient car I've ever owned. Never less than 35 MPG HWY (and I monitor it closely). Highest has been 37 with little stopping.
Perhaps the biggest flaw is the engine size. When running the A/C, performance takes a big hit.
