2008 Aveo 5 Hatchback

Summary:
This is my second Aveo. I just traded my 2005 5spd. sedan with 36,000 miles on this new 5 spd. hatchback. I had very good success with my 05 Aveo and it always got between 34-35 mpg on the highway at any speed. I never had problems with lack of power or poor economy. This has been a fun car and my new hatchback seems even better. The new car is tighter, handles a bit better and has a nicer stereo system. I also like the hatchback. I am 6'2 and do not feel cramped or lacking in legroom.

Strengths:
Style, cost and efficiency. Where else can you buy a new car for $11,300 out the door including taxes and fees. Its a bargain and should not be compared to much more expensive vehicles.

Weaknesses:
A larger fuel tank would be nice and larger cupholders.

2008 Cheve Aveo 5

Summary:
I bought this car for the gas mileage. I drive at least 30 miles a day in my commute to work 6 days a week. Supposedly it gets 33 mpg highway. I drive the express lanes at 60 mph every day with 2 to 3 miles of my commute on surface streets. I am getting between 22 to 24 mpg consistently. I am very disappointed. My son is 6 foot tall and even with the seat all the way back his legs are almost resting on the steering wheel. It comes with an arm rest which is so far back in the seat it barely reaches my hip and is so low that I can only rest my wrist on it if I reach behind me. As far as driving goes it is easy to drive.

Strengths:
like the color. hatchback is easy to get into. Easy to drive

Weaknesses:
gas mileage is lousy.
