Summary:
it already has electrical problems. not even 2 months old and back at the dealership. and they cannot tell us why. just how to fix it! take the battery cables loose and let the charge drain off then rehook and recharge. what a fix! i would never buy another.

2008 AVEO

Strengths:
The stereo sounds alright. The dealer handles warranty work, gracefully.

Weaknesses:
The car is crap, already had the main engine wiring harness replaced, and waiting on new throttle assy, trying to correct previously mentioned problems.

Summary:
Originally the gas mileage was decent, but now it has gone way south. About 27 mpg overall, has dropped to about 20 maybe. The car hesitates at take off and surges at cruising speeds.

2008 Cheve Aveo 5

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

Weaknesses:
gas mileage is lousy.

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.

2008 Aveo 5 Hatchback

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.

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.

2007 5 dr

Strengths:
Lots of head and leg room in the front.
Back seats lay flat for transporting luggage or purchases.

Weaknesses:
I live outside the city limits and drive approx 60mls round trip daily to work. Fuel economy was the selling point for me and I have been left greatly diappointed. I feel that the MPGs on this model are over rated.

Summary:
Looking for Fuel economy ... this is NOT your vehicle. This is a good driving car for it's size. Driver's area is very comfortable.
