| it's about the same in town. Nothing's changed. In this heavy traffic you have to gun the car sometime to get out of the way of ppl or you're going to get ran over. I am also having problems with the keyless lock on my trunk. Nine times out of 10 I have to open it with the key. They've changed the horse power a little in the 2008, but I don't think they're ever going to get the gas mileage that they say they do on the sticker. That's government issued. Not reality. If you guys are getting good gas mileage in town, that's GREAT, but I'm not.. | |

I researched and test drove the basic entry models of almost all the name brand companies out there (fit, rio, yaris, versa). Ended up getting the Aveo5 in June 08, mainly because of price, and am hoping that was a good decision. It has been so far and i have found that i don't mind driving it anywhere and almost everwhere. I had read how sluggish they were, especially on the highway, but i don't feel that power to the wheels is a problem at all (this is an econobox afterall). Getting up to speed and cruising 70 mph is easy and the noise level in the cabin is quieter than alot of other more expensive models. Anyways, the sticker's fuel mileage ratings were low (imo) for such a small car but i weighed this in with it's other qualities and went ahead and bought a 2008 model. To my relief, this car does deliver what's stated on the sticker and more. Both city and highway always get better than it's ratings. Haven't gotten those high numbers that some of you have claimed but i do average a combined city/highway mpg of around 32! Lowest city with 4 adults = 24.1 mpg Highest mostly highway with 2 adults = 35.8 mpg A little over 6000 miles on the odometer now, automatic, running 32 psi in the tires. |

| just filled up today. 80% highway/20 city. I got 35.78 mpg. I think that is very good. I've got 29k miles on my 07 (this was the wifes' aveo, family grew, I got her an 08 equinox) we love both vehicles. (for different reasons) | |

HELP..I got one of the 2009 Aveo5’s that gives only 18-22 mpg on average. Highway 24 mpg is a mechanical problem in my book for an Aveo. Chevrolet Customer service says my local garage has the technical ability to take care of it. My local garage seems to think I ride the brake, etc. It’s my fault. The computer says all is OK, according to them. A faulty part, wrong computer or program of something has to be wrong, but what. ????? :
