2004 Aveo- Enough to make me miss the Metro.

by shoplmart shoplmart is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Cars & Motorsports, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10
May 30 '04 - Updated Nov 21 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Interior room.
Cons: Quality, Engine, Transmission, stowage.
The Bottom Line: I recommend passing on this one. There are much better cars out there for just a little more green.

I have never been a fan of GM's offerings of entry level economy cars. From the early days of the Geo Metro to the current generation Chevrolet Cavalier, it seems as though GM has always been behind the pack when it comes to incorporating both ...

New Small Chevy Isn't Groundbreaking, But Offers Some "Big-Car" Feel For A Low Price

by drive571 drive571 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Cars & Motorsports, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200
Mar 21 '04 - Updated Nov 30 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Soft and comfortable ride, decent interior space, composed and unstressed demeanor over the road.
Cons: Rubbery shifter hangs up easily, lackluster engine, pronounced body lean, imprecise steering, cheap interior materials.
The Bottom Line: The Aveo is a good choice for budget buyers who prioritize ride comfort and the "low-pulse-rate" feel of a bigger car. Agggressive drivers and interior-quality sticklers need not apply.

My Experience I test-drove a Chevrolet Aveo 5-speed hatchback at a local dealership. My test drive lasted about half an hour and covered city streets, the freeway, and a winding secondary road. Performance The Aveo's performance ...

Zippy, peppy, (but not crappy), and I'm happy.

by slarter
Jan 06 '04 - Updated Feb 10 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Power to spare, great handling, affordable, economical.
Cons: Don't try to fit any basketball players in it.
The Bottom Line: For space-conscious city-dwellers and dollar-conscious suburbanites, this is definitely a fun little car. Highly recommended.

Preliminary Thoughts The new Chevrolet Aveo, pint-sized though it may be, offers a surprisingly affordable, roomy, and powerful driving experience in a manageable, compact package. The Setup Let it be known at the outset that I am a ...

I'm glad I don't haveo an Aveo

by hannahmont
Jan 08 '04 - Updated Feb 02 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: spacious interior, good pickup for small car, some cool gadgets, huge trunk
Cons: strong body roll, lack of intuition in design, doors flimsy and hard to close
The Bottom Line: I don't recommend this car, unless you are the only person who will ride in it. Not good for passengers, but inexpensive if you can't afford more than this.

******DISCLAIMER********* Although I did not drive the car, my boyfriend, who drove it the entire 1300 miles that we put on the car in one week, sat with me while I wrote the review and told me what to write about how it drives and gave his ...

Perfect City Runabout for Work, School, Store Trips

by drmbradford
May 08 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Cute, Quiet, Roomy Interior, Upright Seating, Zippy Enough, Cheap to repair/ insure, Perfect City Runabout.
Cons: Improve MPG, seat comfort, armrest, cruise for longer trips, etc.
The Bottom Line: Great City Runabout Vehicle, with Repair Available Nationwide at Chevy/GM Dealers. Made and refined by Daewoo for years, now available here as GM bought Daewoo.

We needed a car with excellent gas mileage/cheap to fix/practicality for those short "dollar store" trips, or taking the kids to school, city work commute, run to church, etc. We wanted to keep the miles off of my Honda Pilot SUV, as it is a nice, ...

Aveo pronounced Ah-vay-oh, a good little runner

by dieseldust
Nov 04 '04 - Updated Nov 19 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Nice styling, fun to drive with reasonable economy
Cons: Smallish tires, ABS should be standard.
The Bottom Line: I feel that some reviewers have been hard on this car. It's no BMW, but is sure does provide reliable transportation on a budget.

I purchased an Aveo 5 in March of 2004. This vehicle was to replace the 2000 New Beetle TDI that was our previous second car. The primary diver for this car is my 20 year old daughter. At half the price, she prefers the Aveo. Lucky me! Perhaps it is the ...

Stay away from these cars...

by i64x
Sep 28 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: It's cheap.
Cons: Everything else.
The Bottom Line: You're better off with a used car. If you NEED a new car, look into the Scion XA... power everything standard for only a couple thousand more.

When I heard that Chevrolet was releasing a sub $11,000 car I had to go drive one. I was actually a HUGE fan of the Suzuki-made Geo Metro (a.k.a. Suzuki Swift) because of their go-kart like fun-to-drive factor. No power brakes, no power steering, ...

15 months & 17K miles later and I love this little car!

by debewley
Jan 08 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Interior room; Fuel Economy; Initial Acquisition Cost; Performance
Cons: No Cruise Control; Lack of after-market accessories and suppport by Chevrolet.
The Bottom Line: I love it and wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Base Aveo model with Auto Transmission and spoiler being the only options. Purchased in October 2004 and driven 17, 212 miles. I think Chevy and GM are missing the boat by not promoting this little car enough. I couldn't help but notice that the three ...

Aveo: Inexpensive Without Being Cheap

by tsousley
Jun 14 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Affordable gas-sipper. Lots of features. Rides big.
Cons: Antilock brakes not standard. No cruise control available.
The Bottom Line: Don't buy this expecting luxury. Don't pass it up if you want affordable comfort, reliability.

Not all of us can afford a Lexus. But we'd all like to think we deserve a new car once in a while. My 2004 Aveo is my first new car, after eight used ones spanning almost 30 years' driving. I didn't expect luxury, but I got a comfortable car for only a ...

Not a bad car for the price! UPDATE at bottom

by shelbyd
Nov 01 '04 - Updated Jan 09 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: small outside, roomy inside, stadium seating, 28 mpg and fun to drive. MP3 nice
Cons: Manual transmission seems geared wrong between 1st and 2nd. So far no other issues.
The Bottom Line: Good car for the person looking for a small but roomy fuel efficient car that rides nice for the size

We have had the Aveo for nearly two months and nearly 1500 miles. These cars are not meant to be luxury, and they are not. What this car is, is small on the outside but amazingly roomy on the inside. My model is fully loaded with power sunroof, ...

by carvava
Nov 23 '04 - Updated Mar 24 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Size, Style, Room, Pep, Ride, Comfort, Leg Room, Parking it!!!!
Cons: Removing rear headrest to fold seat. Few aftermarket parts.
The Bottom Line: I do not think one could go wrong here. Chevy has put out an entry level car that I actually like... Thank you Chevy!!!!

Love this little car. My girl calls it the "Happy Car." I cannot say enough about the first 3000 miles of this little peppy toy. Glad I took it over the Focus or the Scion... Updated on 3/24/05 When I first drove this car I fell in love with it. ...

I LOVE my 2004 Chevrolet Aveo Hatchback

by feiticeira66
Oct 26 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Interior room, gas milage, handling
Cons: A little hesitant on hills, cheap interior.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone who would like a new car, but can't afford one.

From the second I saw this car, I loved it, and I had to have it. Luckily, for around $11,000, I got it almost fully loaded with the CD/MP3 player, rear spoiler, air conditioning, and carpeted floor mats. It also has some neat detailing on the side. I ...

I ADORE my little "brat"!

by tammieaw
May 22 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Peppy, responsive engine. Solid feel. Different looking, large amount of room for passengers and cargo.
Cons: Can't think of any!
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car for any use - tooling around town, highway driving or carting kids around!

I bought this car in July of 2004 because if its so-ugly-it's-cute looks! I wanted something that looked different than all the Focus clones out there. Although I test-drove an automatic trans, I knew the 5-speed manual would be even better. Was I ...

You'll Get What You Pay For

by johndematteo
Mar 14 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great gas and sound system
Cons: Its a small car, with limited handling ability
The Bottom Line: I would suggest looking the Aveo, if you are just looking for an inexpensive vehicle; provided you do not mind limited handling.

The tiny car, offers exceptional gas mileage at a low price. However, by not offering leg room to backseat passengers, the use of the vehicle will be greatly limited when travelling with average sized people. If you live north of the Mason Dixon Line, I ...

Pros: Roomy,Quick,Gas sipper,Fun to drive
Cons: Light on the power for mountain driving
The Bottom Line: Quick quiet ride with lots of interior room, very good gas mileage.

We bought the 5 door hatchback with auto trans,spoiler,CD/MP3 player,electric windows and did I say it's bright yellow ! We live in Denver and took it up in the mountains for a 300 mile day trip,it was a little lacking in power going up 6 degree ...
