Used 2010 Chevrolet Aveo for Sale near Chicago, IL

After a significant redesign to the Aveo5 Hatchback in 2009, Chevrolet is letting the 2010 Chevy Aveo lineup ride essentially unchanged. The 2010 Aveo, offered as both a sedan and a five-door hatchback, the Aveo5, is delivered in three trim levels for each configuration. The LS is the base trim, with the LT in the middle and the LT2 as the high-end trim. Both the Aveo sedan and Aveo5 hatchback seat five comfortably, with the sedan offering a somewhat paltry 12.4 cubic feet of trunk space and the Aveo5 featuring a relatively cavernous 42 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded flat. Only one powerplant is offered for the 2010 Aveo line: a 1.6-liter, variable-valve-timed inline four-cylinder engine that comes with a standard five-speed manual transmission. This combination puts out 108 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque, and is rated by the EPA at a stellar 27/34 mpg. Additionally, the LT and LT2 trims in both the 2010 Aveo sedan and the Aveo5 hatchback are eligible for an available four-speed automatic transmission that in ’09 allowed the Aveo LT trims to achieve an EPA-estimated 25/34. For 2010, the base Chevy Aveo LS is delivered with such standard appearance, comfort, and convenience features as 14-inch steel wheels, a rear spoiler, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, split-folding rear seatbacks (yep, the sedan too), tilt-wheel steering, an AM/FM stereo, and the OnStar hands-free communications system. Options for the 2010 Aveo sedan and Aveo5 hatchback LS trims include air conditioning and upgraded paint. The 2010 Aveo sedan and Aveo5 LT trims add air conditioning and an MP3-capable single-CD player with six speakers to the list of standard features and the four-speed automatic transmission, 15-inch aluminum wheels, four-wheel ABS, cruise control, power windows, door locks, and heated mirrors, as well as satellite radio to the cast of options. The top-shelf 2010 Chevy Aveo sedan and Aveo5 hatchback LT2 trims include premium cloth upholstery, power windows, locks, and heated mirrors, cruise control, and satellite radio as standard equipment, while throwing a power sunroof and leather seating into the options mix. Safety features standard with the 2010 Aveo trims include dual-stage front airbags, front side-mounted airbags, front fog/driving lights, a remote anti-theft alarm, and a post-collision safety system, including OnStar remote monitoring. Owners of the 2009 Aveo found both the sedan and the Aveo5 hatchback to be roomy and comfortable, though some owners in ’09 had issues with the Aveo’s dependability, acceleration, and a disturbing rattle. However, virtually all owners find the Aveo sedan and Aveo5 hatchback stylish, quiet, nimble, and with a better-than-decent sound system. The overall value of the ’09 Aveo sedan and Aveo5 hatchback also mitigated a lot of perceived shortcomings.
