#1458 of 1578 Re: Observations on the 2005 Aveo Hatchback [busiris] by flaaveo Jan 20, 2008 (5:06 am)
Replying to: busiris (Jan 18, 2008 6:50 pm) If you have read MY posts, you know I am no fan of GM at all! I agree with most of what you and others say. I seem to be the only one with a rattle FREE interior and no suspension noises. BUT I am treated like I am a piece of sh-- when I walk in for the constant exterior repairs. But on my car it is exterior build problems. Tires going bald at 2K miles! Hatchback constantly not opening and the lever breaking, Drivers seat ripping at the seam and replaced now 2 times so far at less than 7K miles, a 2006! But mechanically so far it is perfect. BUT I fuss over my vehicles, maybe tomorrow it will fall apart. I will NEVER buy A GM product again, I'll go get a Ranger truck again in a flash! I traded in my hot yellow Edge on this little car to be 'green'. I am 'yellow' instead, egg on my face! My Rangers...all 4 of them never gave me a days problem, If OPEC didnt have us over THAT barrel of oil, I wouldn't have bought this car...that only gets 15mpg in the city for me!! My huge 6 cyl truck got 18mpg! I got screwed bad.   First mechanical problem that isnt covered by the warranty, or things start creaking, or I start getting all the problems I read in here, I am heading to Ford or Toyota. I love the roominess and the zippy way the car goes, I made it look like no other Aveo on the road, with accessories that it turns out are only meant for Canada or Europe! Thanks EBay! Bodyside mouldings, that turns out was not meant to be sold in America! I am the only one that has them. All the Aveos I see are covered in door dings. Add a wild graphics body kit, Painted the wheel covers with Fusion spray paint, and put on Daewoo ones,since it is a Daewoo car basically. Dark window tint and it looks hot!   Replaced the logos on the hatch. When people with Aveos see it, they think it is from Canada, or shipped over from Europe! So far I have gone all of 2 months without a problem, now that I have said that, it will fall apart tomorrow! But after next year and the warranty is gone, I can get crappy mileage from a Ranger, and still get MORE than I get in this car! I like the roominess, the 'uniqueness', and the ease of driving it,and I see few on the road, everyone has the new sedan, but the mpg stinks, my tires are so bald I dont drive in the rain, I know they will blow out soon, at 6,500 miles! GM doesnt care. Calling them is a waste of time. But I will keep my car and sell it to the next sucker next year. LOW mileage and keep it looking so good will get me a great trade in and then screwed over by the next dealer. Replies to this message: poncho167 (Jan 20, 2008 5:37 am) flaaveo (Jan 20, 2008 9:29 pm)

Replying to: flaaveo (Jan 20, 2008 5:06 am) Sounds like a bad situation with this car. With every manufacturer their is always that problematic car that comes off the assembly and it sounds like you got it. I see today that a good amount of the new Honda Fit's were recalled for air bags. Sometimes you get a gem of a car with no issues and sometimes you don't but one will never know until after the fact. Your car should get close to 40 mpg so yes I would be ticked off as well. Have they flashed the cpu yet to reset. Replies to this message: flaaveo (Jan 20, 2008 9:29 pm)

Replying to: poncho167 (Jan 20, 2008 5:37 am) I took it in several time and they say the computer says it is tuned to the exact specs. They say it is because it is 100% city driving and I only drive like 3 miles a day, so it doesn't get heated up enough to run 'efficantlly'. When I do drive it for like an afternoon, running errands and drive up to 30 miles in one time. I can get a whopping 19mpg. If I time the rights right, drive like an old lady, take my foot off the gas when I see a red light ahead, and glide to a stop. And I always put it in neutral when I sit at a red light, it makes it run smoother and revs less and at a lower speed.   But I filled up today, half a tank, $16.00....the Escalde next to me, with just 1 skinny tiny woman in it, thats a lot to haul around,...was still filling up at $55.98 when I drove away ! So........
#1461 of 1578 2005 Aveo Hatchback Shop Manuals by busiris Jan 21, 2008 (1:31 pm)
I have the 2-volume set of the shop manuals covering the 2005 Chevrolet Aveo for sale. They were purchased from Helm, the supplier for GM's shop manuals. Since the hatchback has not changed much since the 2004 model, I would expect these manuals would also apply significantly to the 2006-08 model years as well.   If interested, make me an offer. The manual set cost $110.00 originally. You can reach me at aveomanuallive.com (a temporary hotmail account that I set up for this purpose).

#1463 of 1578 press request by kirstie_h HOST Jan 29, 2008 (6:03 pm)
A national magazine is doing a story about the new popularity of small cars and looking for people who downsized from a larger car to a Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, Mini Cooper, or Chevy Aveo -- someone who never envisioned themselves driving a small car, but felt forced to go small by gas prices that have shot above $3 a gallon. Or maybe they went small to show they are doing their part to save the planet, or stop terrorism, or maybe all three. Please respond no later than Feb. 6 to Chintan Talati at ctalatiedmunds.com.
#1464 of 1578 Re: 2005 Chevy Aveo - Problems Starting [wave54] by jeffinohio Feb 06, 2008 (8:22 pm)
Replying to: wave54 (Aug 20, 2006 3:06 pm) Wave 54. The only problem is that if it is the fuel system, the 5 year/60,000 mile doesn't cover it. Trust me, I went to court. More money wasted. The fuel pump was bad and they had all of this BS against me. The best thing about my Aveo is that as soon as it blows up, I'll be buying something that has a real warranty so that excludes all GM products.

Replying to: jeffinohio (Feb 06, 2008 8:22 pm) Jeff... I'm so sorry about the STATIC you're going through with your AVEO. You know, I wanted to get the new 2009 version of the AVEO5, with all its "improvements"...but after reading various negative messages concerning the AVEO in general I find myself not so turned on to the idea of owning one. Know what I'm sayin'? I know you do!!! I hope this bad AVEO dream of yours, so to speak, comes to a favorable conclusion for you soon. Peace<-AladdinSane<- -

Replying to: jeffinohio (Feb 06, 2008 8:22 pm) I'm curious why you're so dissatisfied with the warranty on the Aveo (other than it apparently didn't cover the particular failure you suffered). It's one of the best ever offered by a domestic. 3/36,000 bumper to bumper, 5/100,000 Powertrain.   I know some of the imports (and I use the terms "imports" and "domestic" loosely here, as the lines blur often) offer a 10/100,000 powertrain warranty, and I've seen TV commercials that I believe imply a "lifetime" powertrain warranty (though I'll bet it's not transferrable and I honestly can't remember who it was for... one of those things you half catch while getting up for another beer or to go to the can).
#1467 of 1578 A Factory Type Wing? by flaaveo Feb 07, 2008 (9:23 pm)
Does anyone know where to get a factory looking rear wing for a 2006 HatchBack Aevo? I saw it on EBay last year, when I had no money to buy one, painted and all ready to just screw into the roof, into the holes that are up there under the paint. It was a company in Canada, and it was only like $195 for a Factory wing ,painted and shipped! BUT now I cant find them on there anymore.  I have looked online and there are only rear wings for the sedans. Does anyone have any leads, other than going to the dealer,and that is unpainted of course. And I am sure the dealer would be super expensive. With so many online companies that sell rear wings...doesnt any of them sell one for the 5 door hatchback??
