The 2006 Chevy Aveo is entering into some stiff compeition in the market. One anonymous blogger called the car a "rental car cheapie." It certainly is not very expensive, coming in at under $13,500 for the base model.
Similar to other cars in its class, the Aveo gets great mileage - 27/35 mpg - by virture of its smaller engine, a 1.6-liter inline four, and lighter weight. Standard safety features include front and side airbags as well as rear-seat head restraints.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo have mixed feelings about their cars. Many appreciate its fuel efficiency, comfortable handling, and surprising interior space. However, the engine is commonly criticized for being underpowered, the cabin can be noisy, and some drivers report high fuel consumption. Despite its downsides, several owners find it reliable and easy to maintain, making it a decent option for city driving."
OK , we bought this car for my mother in law, and she loves it. It is a cute little car, with ample space both interior and trunk. A little low on the horsepower but it does get great gas mileage. I would only race for pink slips if the other guy was riding a vespa. Overall a great car completely fully loaded for $20K.... not bad.
September 7, 2008Ilike the way the car handles in the city and the its great on gas i put 150 000 km on this car with zero breakdowns its very reliable little car but its no speed demon but over all its a good buy
March 25, 2015No frills on this car - I use it solely for commuting and getting where I need to go. It does that just fine, as long as the roads aren't extremely snowy. It does have FWD so it can function in small amounts of snow...but I keep a shovel and container of salt in my trunk in the winter, and don't drive anywhere the plow trucks haven't been. In terms of MPG, it's great. I drive 50+ miles a day, 5 days a week, and usually only have to fill up once a week (10 gallon tank). I've had this car for 4 years (bought used in 2010), and I am finding that as the car ages, it seems to have more frequent issues. This model/year has known issues with the throttle position sensor, which I've had replaced twice in a 2-year period. This is a costly repair (~$450+) because the entire throttle body needs to be replaced, not just the sensor. I just brought it in today for a rotted exhaust flange and possible muffler replacement (~$500+). Overall, I would say that this is a pretty good car if you live in the city, don't mind driving a dorky-looking car, and need a fuel-efficient way to get to work (other than a bike). Make sure to save up for potentially pricey repairs around the 75k mile mark.

August 12, 2014This car is my second brand new car and it has lasted me and never let me down. I enjoy being able to fit into small car parking spots. The handling on the roads is great and I love the gas millage.
December 2, 2011good acceleration, excellent breaking, top performance, handling is superb. build quality is awsome, no repairs till date. appearance is just like it should be. this is how a perfect car looks like. interior is superb and not crapy like maruti. mileage is around 14. maintenane is cheap and hardly needed.
January 25, 2011Well built high mileage car. The torque curve is horrible in the 07, but with VVT in the 08+ its much better. Consistently gets me 27mpg city. Very space efficient small car. The manual makes the vehicle very enjoyable to drive.
October 11, 2009nice gud family car love to drive on long trip no over heating nice cooling acceleration is gud braking and handling is nice chevy parts are costlier dual tone interiors are gud gr8 mileage and fun to drive on long highway
June 13, 2009It's a really good car. Good brakes, I have taken it to 180 km/h easily. Really nice to tune. Fuel consumption is good. No many problems or visits to the mechanic. Overall is a very good and complete car.
May 31, 2009I have had very few issues with this car. This is not a family care due to it's small size. Cargo space is limited even when you fold down the back seate. Overall it has been a great car that is easy to maintain.
April 15, 2015I love my car because it is easy to handle and it get's great gas mileage. Though it may look small it is surprisingly spacious and the stereo is pretty cool too. I also love the paint job, Thanks Bro's.
