  2010 Chevrolet Aveo - 1LT Sedan

  Submitted on 2/8/2010 7:39:34 AM

  Summary

  Pros: the cute dashboard. All around cute in appearance

  Cons: Unreliable...there is also no engine power.

  Advice: Drive the heck out of it because it might fail before you are allowed to exchange it within 30 days....drive it a lot to find out if it is worth buying.

  I just purchased this car and owned it for 10 days. It does not get the suggested gas mileage as promised from the manufacturer. It promises 32 hwy and 26 city and yet I never once got the AVERAGE above 24????? On the 10th day I drove it home in a snow storm after a long day with friends and all of a sudden the check engine light popped on and the vehicle de-celerated down to 20mph while travelling down a busy four lane hwy. I pulled over into a residential neighborhood and called a tow. the car would not travel faster than 5 mph even with the gas pedal floored. Meanwhile, as I sat waiting in blizzard conditions in the lovely Minnesota winter the heater wouldn't work properly. When I turned the heat on the steering wheel shimmied and the engine started dying. I am on my way to go shopping for a different car.
