2004 Chevrolet Aveo from North America - Comments

I agree with your review... to address another comment here... your funny... why don't you go to Asia or Europe and stay there I think $90.00 is a lot for a key replacement too. I also think the newer models are a little better made.

It's an econo box what do you expect? It's one step above a Yugo.

I agree with a lot of the comments.

You shouldn't have purchased without a test drive and gone over everything. (Not saying you didn't test drive it, just saying you should have thoroughly gone over the car during your test drive). I test drive all cars on highway and city before I make a purchase, if I make a purchase. In the last 2 weeks I have test drove lots of cars in the past month, Toyota Camry/Saturn SL2/Chevy Epica/Honda Civic. (All smaller vehicles, except the Epica, but it was mostly cause I just liked the interior of the vehicle, and wanted to try it out).

If you complain about such minor things on a vehicle, don't buy cheap... what do you expect from a vehicle that had a sticker price of $10,000 new? Do yourself a favor and buy something closer to $20,000. You will be much happier.

I made sure the car had everything I wanted, and made a list of things that are important to me. If the cruise was one of your important things, you should have looked for it.

As for the cups being in the way of the defrost button? I'm sorry, but I had to laugh. First of all. Your windows SHOULD be defrosted BEFORE driving the vehicle, it's against the law not to be. Secondly, it's not hard to stop, remove the abstraction, then turn on your defrost, that's if you haven't already turned it on before hand.

I apologize if the vehicle's cup holder can't hold extra large cups from McDonalds. But the ratio of over weight people in Europe compared to all of North America, is much higher, and it shows with our vehicles. They make cup holders bigger and bigger ever year. I owned a 97 Ford Windstar that had these tiny cup holders, then I got into a 99 and the suckers were HUGE. WHY! Something that big cannot be in your hands when you are driving down the road. And perhaps you won't be drinking them, just bringing them home to whoever. Then find a better way of doing this, cause if you're drinking that much pop anyway, then you have some problems.

Tomorrow I'll be test driving a 04 Chevy Aveo, I have looked online about these cars and find they have good overviews. And reviews have been hit or miss. But for $4,000 with only 70k kilometers, I'm not going to complain about much, so long as it runs good.
