Couldn't stand it.  You could switch gears without hitting the breaks.  Yeah for a 4 cylender it had some get up and go but those hampsters sucked.  The car was reasonable on price.  Everytime that I would "play around" in the car I seriously felt like I was going to crack it because it looked like a damn egg!!!

Pros — ...the breaks would lock up
Cons — air bags didn't deploy when the car was wrecked

This little car works really well if you are trying to get good gas millage however, if you are looking for a car with power do not get this car.  Like I said this car works really well for good gas millage but has 0 power.  It has 109hp so it doesnt really have any get up and go.  I average 40mpg on highway and 27-30city.

Pros — Good Gas Millage!
Cons — No power.

Leasing and Planning to buy it out at the end of this year.  Good little car with pep and very good fuel economy.

Pros — Good On Gas, Cute Body, Lots of Leg Room In Front, Nice Sized Trunk
Cons — Windsheild Wipers Tend To Not 'fit' or not work well on windows, manufactures use 'crappier' tires and they have to be replaced within a year or so (at least mine blew).

Good car to get from A to B, if you don't want anyone else to go with you.  Geared too high.  Could get better gas mileage if the engine wasn't running 3200 rpm at 75 mph.  Really long throw in the manual transmission and not very precise feeling.  Not the worst car I've ever seen, but not a recommendation.

Pros — Good gas mileage, easy to park
Cons — only room for luggage or passengers, not both

“Change Your Timing Belt Early!!!!!”

Reviewing: 2004 Used Chevrolet Aveo Base Hatchback

At 60K miles, the timing belt snapped and destroyed the engine, bending valves and cracking pistons.  GM refused to honor this as a warranty repair as it was 200 miles past due even though I had scheduled the service before the warranty expired.  Even though the car was only two years old, the repair cost more than the car's wholesale value.  If you own one of these or are considering buying one, change your timing belt every 45K miles!  This car is poorly designed and poorly constructed... but what can you expect for the cheap price they fetch?  Just keep a spare engine handy... you will need it.

Pros — Cheap to buy, cheap to run
Cons — Ugly, noisy, and poorly supported by the dealership/manufacturer: one of "Consumer Reports" 11 worst cars of 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008

This is a small car that is very comfortable to use for long journeys. The suspension is stable and gives a comfortable ride. Too bad the engine and the manual transmission doesn't have a really good performance. The fuel consumption is average, nothing special about it.
The interior is quite roomy and the luggage compartment is quite big for a car its size.
This car is quite average in its class and I still recommend it.

Pros — Comfortable yet stable suspension, spacious luggage compartment.
Cons — Not so powerful engine, sluggish manual transmission.

In the four years we've had our Aveo, it has been back to the dealer 22 times, 8 on the back of a tow truck.  At 43000 km, it has had two sets of pistons, 4 cylinder heads, four head gaskets, fifth thermostat (it still does not heat up in winter) the wiper arms have fallen off the car while on the interstate twice, the car had to be driven non stop for four hours through rural minnesota because the gear selector was locked in drive, creaky suspension, water in the oil, constantly stalling, poor fuel milage for a 1.6 l and the latest is that it leaks corbon monoxide into the cab.  And the GM support.  What support.  They refuse to take the car back saying it has to bereak down a "few more times" .  I gave up a 1991 Mazda protege with 300 000 km on it for this...and that car is still on the road.

Pros — nice colour of orange
Cons — poor mechanical build quality, poor fuel milage, unreliable, poor dealer support
