#1 of 19 Chevrolet Aveo: Tell Chevrolet What You Want! by KarenS HOST Oct 12, 2006 (1:42 pm)

1) Standard tire sizes, so more then 2 tire manufactures get in the game. 2) Standard anti-lock brakes on the base model. 3) Color through plastics, so an interior scratch doesn't show light grey. 4) flex-fuel version of the 1.6L. 5) 2 rear cup holders Replies to this message: pgiomi (Feb 14, 2007 1:47 pm)

Replying to: ron1970 (Oct 13, 2006 2:44 am) What I would add to the Aveo is a 5 or 6 speed automatic front drive transmission. With this car being an entry level vehicle for Chevrolet the one thing it is going to have to offer is competitive fuel economy compared to it competition. It has a decent price but with all its competition offering at least a 5 speed automatic transmission and better fuel economy, it has to offer at least as good if not better hardware to be truly competitive.

I would add an ac outlet that runs without the engine on so I can set up my sirius satelite radio to record show when I'm not in the car--Plus I think that there should be a V6 version, or something with some more stock horse power--Whatever they do--DONT CHANGE THE BACK END!!!! I love my chrome and my lights!

They should make a hybrid.......Hyundai is coming out with an Accent hybrid....why not Chevrolet.
#6 of 19 Updated Manual Transmission by ilaveo May 13, 2007 (6:35 am)
The manual transmission doesn't seem quite right for the size of the car/engine and today's speed limits. Unless they add a towing package, 1st gear is lower than needed--it reminds me of low in my work F350 that I only use when I'm pulling around a skid loader. A 1st gear ratio of about 3.2 instead of 3.55 and then push the ratio on 2nd down a little to close the gap between 2nd and 3rd some. Fifth could also be a little higher so you don't rev quite so high at 70 mph--maybe a ratio of .72 instead of .76. FWIW these changes would probably increase MPG too. Just my .02.

Replying to: ilaveo (May 13, 2007 6:35 am) yes I agree...the ratios in the transmission could be moved around a bit and the 5th gear changed to a .72. The first gear I could pull tree stumps with...lol..

Replying to: KarenS (Oct 12, 2006 1:42 pm) All the aveo needs is a SUPERCHARGER offered as an accessory that makes at least 150 hp and a suspension package They need to chain driven timing instead of belts and change the gearing in the transmission. then it can compete with all the subcompacts, at least on power Replies to this message: poncho167 (Jul 07, 2007 5:09 am)

Replying to: topgear1224 (Jul 06, 2007 12:52 am) I don't think there would be too many people getting an optional supercharger to make it profitable. Other than the Nissans Versa with 129 hp or whatever it has, all the other sub-compacts have the same hp give or take 1 or 2 hp. The timing belt like the others is also a belt, but the chain would be a definate advantage.
