2006 Chevrolet Aveo 5 review from North America
"Too many blind spots"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gas tank flap refused to close. I slammed it shut and broke the latch.
General comments?
*** What I like about the Aveo: ***
Great on gas.
Dummy-proof: can't leave headlights on or lock keys in car.
Smooth shifting.
Lots of headroom.
Low purchase price.
Chevy = cheap parts.
Has a rear window wiper on the hatchback.
Super quiet motor.
It's small so I can squeeze it into small spaces.
Reliable.
*** What I don't like about the Aveo: ***
Too many blind spots.
Cup holders suck.
Junk bin is too small.
Can't open hatchback from the driver's seat.
I hate backing up in it - can't see.
Can't see front of car from driver's seat.
Dumbest headrests ever.
Small rear-view mirrors on sides.
Wimpy horn.
Can't find the horn when I need it.
Dash reflects on front window = glare.
Field of view/ vision SUCKS!! Don't trust your shoulder-check because there is a HUGE blind spot on the driver's left side.
Feel like I'm always being tail-gated.
