#24 of 31 my Aveo by bayoubilly74 Sep 13, 2008 (7:15 pm)
Hello all.   Here is a "6 month review" on my Aveo. I bought a 07 sedan, LT, with most of the bells and whistles. I got it in Feb. of this year and received a sweet deal from Chevy b/c apparently this one had been sitting around awhile. I guess the average buyer would go ahead and move up to the Cobalt instead of buying a high-end Aveo.   Anyway, here is what I think after owning this car for about 6 months.   The Good: upscale interior, the leatherette is lookin' good and easy to clean, car handles well and is super-easy to park, solid set of modern features, above-par stereo with 6-disc in-dash with mp3 ability, 180 watts, and mp3 player plug in. big trunk for this car, smooth ride, head room.   Not-so-good: buzzy, droning engine noise, lightweight feel, not much power, gas mileage isn't what I thought, keyfob range is pretty much reduced to being right "up on the car" before it will work, cupholders only work for a regular soda can   Overall, there are more good things about this car than bad. I would buy another one; it meets and exceeds the purpose for which it was purchased. It isn't a Malibu by any stretch but it more than holds its own. I get lots of questions about it. If nobody cared, they wouldn't ask.   The one complaint I really have an issue with is the cupholders in this car. In this day and age of oversized coffee traveler mugs, super large cups, etc etc, the present cupholders in the Aveo leave A LOT to be desired. I figured Chevy/GM would have fixed this issue for the 2009 Aveo 5 door, but it appears they kept the same Dollar store set from previous years. Hey Chevy, I love the car, but please, put some decent cupholders in the Aveo.

We are new owners of a 2008 silver Aveo -less than 2 weeks. We like the car- gas mileage is great, last car was an SUV. At 1.39 per gallon, it only took $10 to fill the tank. It has a very nice look, but is a bit spare in the armrest and console dept. So far, it handles nicely, is a bit delicate seeming; but that could be our history with an SUV. The first problem is the snow driving...it skids and slides. We have decided that we can no longer be out in the snow...how sad. Any solutions?

I'm also having a terrible time in the snow! I LOVE my Aveo in any other weather, but it is uncontrolable in the snow. Please, other owners, tell me what to do! It was a total nightmare getting to work this morning. Replies to this message: poncho167 (Jan 16, 2009 4:54 pm)

Replying to: sullysgirl (Jan 16, 2009 11:56 am) It has to be the stock tires. If you have trouble spinning at the stop light and you have automatic trans, push the button on the shifter to put it in a taller gear for less torque. It will start going in second gear with less spinning.

Replying to: jules8 (Jan 29, 2008 8:25 am) I'm thinking about buying a new aveo w/o a/c. How much did you pay for the a/c installation? Thanks. Replies to this message: Helen715 (Apr 05, 2009 6:20 pm)

Replying to: sheepdog1 (Apr 05, 2009 5:38 am) The AC was included in my 2008 Aveo, therefore I don't actually know how much it costs as an 'add-on'. Sorry. Be careful to make sure yours has a CD player, if that is what you want. Ours didn't (had only a radio), but fortunately we have an MP3 player that we use as an auxiliary player. The gas mileage is exceptional - $20 fulls the tank. If half, 10- cna you believe that??? And the gas lasts so much longer than our previous suv.
#31 of 31 total cost by Helen715 Apr 05, 2009 (6:22 pm)
ours was 8999 minus our trade-in- bringing the price down to 7999
