2005 Chevrolet Aveo Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

One wheel bearing is bent and sometimes causes resistance while driving. The suspension is also broken and feels like the car slides on the frame from time to time. The car is too low in value to make it worth fixing the problems this late in the car's life cycle.

Too tight of fit - small. No air conditioning. Cheap interior. Electrical malfunctions. Two recalls. Few safety features.

It looks awkward. It breaks down too often. It handles bad and is not fast enough.

It looks awkward. It breaks down constantly. It's too slow.

Manual locks and manual roll down windows. I also don't like that it doesn't have cruise control.

The 2005 Chevy Aveo is a very small car. It is great for in the cities but not as much so if you live in the country. It is a very safe car runs well. I would not recommend for someone with children, because the car is small once you get the car seats in it leaves little room to get the baby in or out. The car has a good size trunk for it being such a small vehicle. Overall this car is not a bad car if you live within the city and do not need to put car seats in it.

It is an overall nice car to have. It is a smaller compact vehicle. I find that parallel parking in this car is really easy and can fit in spaces some compact vehicles can't. It is all manual, locks and windows. The performance is good. It has a little trouble accelerating, but once it does it has no problem maintaining speed. It has a lot of legroom and trunk space as well. It does very well on gas mileage, you'll never spend more than 20 dollars for a full tank. It is a very light car, so that means strong winds can slightly veer the car, and it is also top heavy so that means that you shouldn't go around sharp curves too fast.

My 2005 Chevy Aveo is a reliable vehicle. My favorite parts are the size, the break/gas functions, and the lightness of the vehicle. Since an Aveo is a quite compact car, it is easy to park and get around other vehicles without worry of getting into an accident. I also very much like that the gas and break are very easy to manage. Plus, since Aveo's are so lightweight, they go fast! I have had my 2005 vehicle for two years and have had no problems, with the exclusion of maintenance (gas, wiper fluid, oil change, etc.). However, there are a few drawbacks on the vehicle. For one, the breaks can start to squeak if not regularly maintained. They work well, but the sound they exude tend to worry passengers and/or other drivers. Also, the lightness also has its drawbacks, as an extremely windy day could push the car in a certain direction. Finally, the smallness of the vehicle makes it worrying if I was to ever be a part of an accident. It would be likely that anything other than a very mild fender-bender would total my car.
