The 2006 Aveo will never be considered a luxury vehicle, but it does have some nice features for an inexpensive car. It feels much roomier on the inside than it looks from the outside, a perfect combination for city living.
In addition, the small size allows drivers to corner quickly and well. Because the car is so light, it feels like it has tremendous pick-up. Of course, in wet driving conditions it doesn't take much to send the little car hydroplaning.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers seem to appreciate the 2006 Chevrolet Aveo for its spaciousness and fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for city driving. Many enjoyed its comfortable drive on long journeys and its good mileage. However, frustrations arose regarding its lack of performance and reliability, with some owners reporting significant mechanical issues shortly after purchase. The interior received mixed reviews, with some finding it lacking in quality and features."
I bought Chevrolet Aveo 2006, driven only 8 months, 15,000 miles. Four days after I bought it whole engine died!!! Yes, it's economic on fuel, but short-term car! Do not throw your money on that piece of s...! My advice: better pay a couple thousand more, than regret for waisting money and nerves on Chevrolet Aveo. It's not worth it. I learnt my lesson, don't make same mistake.
January 31, 2008I love the size of this car for me and the gas mileage. I have had issues from the very beginning. Brand new off the lot; 4 months in the alternator died. Last year my coolant housing exploded, resulting in multiple repairs and parts replaced. This year my key has been getting stuck in ignition, sputters constantly, check engine light on all the time, hesitant to accelerate. Told by mechanic that the ECM needs to be replaced, but even then it wouldn't fix the problem. My advice to those who take care of their cars, look for something that is more reliable.
May 21, 2014No power options, had tilt and a/c thats it. Great on gas, cool looking little car, fun to drive, wish it had cruise.

March 13, 2020very reliable, great on gas. but weak in performance and just plain ugly. the standerd fetures are nice and include, A/C, CD with mp3 player hookup, 4 airbags, tilt wheel, and a few others. deffinatly suggest the 1.8, vs. the 1.6, the 1.8 is weak as it is, and i couldn;t imagine having even less power than i do now.
June 16, 2009Performance wise its only a 4 cylinder so it is definately not a race car. I love the look of it. The gas mileage is awesome. No problems at all with this car! Great for a first vehicle and great price too! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great car on gas!
August 13, 2008The thing gets pretty good gas mileage, but has no guts.
June 21, 2008its quick on the 2nd gear, weaker on the 3rd and 4th and 5th gears. its light. its sleek. its gas mileage is not bad. fun to drive. yeah. squeaks on the brakes often, and knocking sounds on the front.
June 16, 2009Spacious, good pick up, aircon is excellent, music system cud've been better, seat belts at times feel a bit slack... Gr8 to drive on a long journey, very comfortable, sturdy even at higher speeds, one feels safe, Back seats need some work, interiors can be worked on, no glove space, needs work there.... mileage is good, fun 2 drive, ok value 4 money...
September 1, 2008Good in city, economical and good on gas, gets you from A to B
January 25, 2022it's a leasing car. i tried to replace it to a different car but no good. there is only one thing about this car that i can say positive and it's the space (for the driver and passangers) for this group of cars.
