Overall, I think the aveo is a nice little car. It's head-on competitor for 2004 was the Toyota Echo, Which in my mind was a little turd visually by comparison. The Aveo provides decent throttle feedback for it's small engine displacement and brings in great fuel economy. The Build quality is above agerage, but the materials are lacking slightly. The dash and interior plastics are similar to other GM's of that era, lots of hard grey plastic. The good news about the interior is that for a stock radio package, the 4 speaker Mp3 CD player puts out a good level of sound quality. The Aveo looks good, well rounded and offers a solid, quiet ride. The only two quabbles I have with the aveo are, handling and one comfort feature. When pushed into a corner, it feels awfully top heavy due to its high ceiling. and the lack of an available cruise control feature in 2004 makes long journey's a bit less comfy. However, the car is USEFUL! the hatch opens to a split folding rear seat, that will tip and flip over to create a massive 42cu ft. of rear cargo capacity. I recently drove my aveo over 500 miles, with a collie dog and two suitcases in the back and a front passenger. The car is also very fun. It is spunky, cute and they come in a variety of great colors.

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.

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.

its small and good to drive in busy areas. Lacks passing power

This car was my dad's present for my 16th birthday. I've been driving it for 4 years, and so far it's easy to take care. I don't speed, so this is enough for me.
