2005 Chevrolet Aveo LS review from North America
"Good looking, but too many problems!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We bought this car brand new after looking at a Scion xA. Then we test drove the Aveo and loved it! Looks, styling, driving, comfort, versatility were excellent! The car has been in the shop no less than 6 times for various problems, one of which is NOT STARTING after it sits idle for a couple of days. It's obviously a fuel problem, but the service department hasn't been able to duplicate the problem. LEMON??? Maybe!!! Still LIKE the car, but I'm considering trading it at a loss on a Honda FIT Sport! Regardless of how well some folks cars have done, I'm beginning to think that's the exception to the rule!! Maybe I'll get out before the problem gets worse!!!
