Chevrolet Aveo Personal Experiences: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It was unreliable from day 1 (5 significant repairs in the first 9 months alone). The gas mileage was worse than the EPA estimate even if I tried hard to finesse it and do a little hyper-miling. It also just felt "cheaply made." full 2008 Chevrolet Aveo review |
2006 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The car is poorly built and falls apart quickly. full 2006 Chevrolet Aveo review |
2005 | 4dr Sedan 103-horsepower 1.6L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very underpowered with tall gearing in the automatic designed for fuel economy. Very thin sheet metal. if you lean against the fender with your hip while putting gas in the car, it caves in. full 2005 Chevrolet Aveo review |
