#1 of 7 2007 Aveo Sedan : 5000km and no problems. by richard1haines Jul 27, 2007 (9:03 am)
My AVEO has now 5,000km on the odo and so far nothing has gone wrong with the car - nothing at all! This is better than the 2001 Toyota Echo that I took delivery on years ago.   My AVEO has been averaging about 7.4 litres per 100km of mixed city/freeway driving, or about 34 MPG USA/38 Imperial Gallons.   A great little car.

I have a 2005 Aveo with 80,000 miles on it with no issues and I am hoping it will go 300,000 miles. I get around 38-42 mpg with a 5 speed. Replies to this message: richard1haines (Aug 16, 2007 9:19 am) poncho167 (Aug 17, 2007 4:31 am) richard1haines (Aug 23, 2007 7:56 am)

Replying to: jayman1967 (Aug 15, 2007 6:44 pm) 7,000 KM and not a single thing has gone wrong with my AVEO. And yeah it's a 5 speed. I don't understand why anyone would buy an automatic transmission these days when 5 speeds are so easy to drive. You have better control over the car, better fuel economy and less transmission issues with a manual transmission and let's face it, these small cars are best with manual trannies which is how most of the world buys them, drives them.

Replying to: richard1haines (Aug 16, 2007 9:19 am) I agree about the manual in a small car, but some automatics actually have better mileage depending on the overall gearing. I believe the Aveo is rated a 1 mpg better with the auto. For people who live or drive mostly in the city or bumper to bumper the auto would make sense. The USA only has about 5% manually transmissioned car popularity compared to about 30% back in 1980. Replies to this message: richard1haines (Aug 23, 2007 7:56 am)

Replying to: poncho167 (Aug 17, 2007 4:31 am) Hmmm...that's strange, in Canada the aveo automatic gets worse fuel mileage than the sedan as most autos do. In Canada about 25% are manual transmission. Over 50% of cars sold in Canada are subcompact or compact sized compared to 13% in USA.
#6 of 7 07 Aveo w/50K and no problems by drh500 Aug 09, 2008 (4:41 pm)
I bought a new 07 LT off the showroom floor as soon as they came out. Now has 50K and all original. Tires show no wear, rides great. Just got done going on vacation (2600 mile roundtrip) and averaged 38.7 mpg!! One fill up, I got 40mpg. I have an automatic. I drive it 300 miles a week to work and love the mpg! beat out any Kia/Hyundai/Honda I compared it to. What I like most about it is the seats. I sit high and there is no driver fatique. Am considering trading for the newly restyled 09 Aveo5. Replies to this message: poncho167 (Aug 10, 2008 5:37 am)

Replying to: drh500 (Aug 09, 2008 4:41 pm) I wouldn't trade it if it is doing what you want it to do.
