Not many problems with this car. Maintenance is relatively inexpensive.

I love my Chevy Aveo. Great gas mileage. Great in snow. Where I live winters are rough. My Aveo has air conditioning, power steering power windows and a power moonroof. A great car overall.

Super cute little car with a solid radio/CD player, great mileage and really nice get up and go! It has been so reliable and good through three teenagers and my early retirement. I wish they made Aveos again as I would certainly buy one again. They have a timeless look and are neat.

The Chevy Aveo is a great car. It's small and compact. It has great gas mileage.

The Chevy Aveo is really small and compact which I like for me. I haven't had any problems with it and I've had it for a couple of years. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the really small tires. I have to special order the tires every time I get new ones.

Samantha V

Good on gas but not very roomy.

Reliable vehicle for a single person or couple. Anyone with kids I don't recommend this csr. It is very small and compact. Good on gas for everyday driving.

Too F

The engine will lock up & cost a fortune to fix.

It looks nice & drives ok. It is comfortable & fuel efficient. I just wish the engine didn't lock up for no reason.

Dameon H

This is an alright car. Easy on fuel.

No power, Engine is having problems and i will probably have to get a new vehicle. The mileage is less than 80,000 miles and already it is bad.

Amie R

It is a very small car. It gets great gas mileage though.

I like the gas mileage. I do not like how small it is. I do not like no cruise control. I do not like no power locks.

Michelle G

It's still very functional even though it's over 10 years old

Although the car is old it still performs well and is manageable to take care of with a little bit of patience.

Edward L

It's simply a utility car to get me to and from work, shopping, and errands.

It is fuel efficient for it's type. Comfortable for a smaller car. It is a bit old and beat up. I would like a newer car.

Katie V

It's a decent little car. It had work done a few times with the water tank.

It is a great little car. It gets decent gas mileage and has worked for a long time. However, it has had to be fixed up a few times. Mainly the water tank and radiator. It has a decent amount of space but can also get a little crowded. Overall it's a nice little car to get around in.

Joshua T

Good on gas ,compact but not much power not big enough for carrying a lot of stuff

Love the size of my car (sorta)

I love that my car is a hatchback, it is large enough to hold more than you think it would, but small enough to park just about anywhere. I would like to find a similar model with electric locks and windows, in addition I would like the car to be ~1-2 feet longer for more leg room for the back passengers.
