2005 Chevrolet Aveo SVM review from North America
"Good idea, very poorly executed product"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The suspension has been "repaired" 4 times and is still not working correctly. In three times for oil leaks, and still leaks. In twice for grinding noise from wheels, and still does it.
General comments?
At first I thought it was a great car for the money. But now that I have had it for over a year now, I wish I had never bought it. I am currently working with the BBB Auto division to have it "repurchased" by the manufacturer. I have had it in the repair shop for more that 35 days this year alone and it is time for the manufacturer to do something about it. If you are contemplating buying one of these, seek out an alternative. Sure it costs less than most, but you get what you pay for.
