2005 Chevrolet Aveo LT? review from North America
"Cool car with attitude to spare!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I've only had it for a month - so far so good!
General comments?
The plastic parts used in the assembly of the sunroof concern me. I'm worried they may need replacing before anything else if they give out from all the usage. Plus expansion and contraction from hot and cold weather changes... we'll see how that goes.
The car is huge inside and very comfortable. This is the first brand new vehicle I have ever purchased. I was very excited and even hugged my salesman when he delivered my car to my remote home 25 miles away from the dealership!
The gas mileage is good, but not as good as I expected for such a small car. My previous car was a Toyota Camry 1991 - and it had a 55 liter gastank and went about 600 kms on a tank. My Aveo has a 40 liter tank (I think) and it goes about 500 kms. on a tank. Approximately the same? And the Camry had a larger engine and more get up and go of course.
But overall, SO FAR I LOVE MY AVEO and I would recommend the little automatic wagon model to anyone. And get the MP3 player because it's worth it!
