Jen H

Has great gas mileage, low cost car

I love the gas mileage it has and have not had any major problems with it. The only problem is the low tire light stays on

Donna N

Not a lot of bells and whistles, but really gets you from one point to another.

For a small car, it has tons of power. Great gas mileage. Trunk has plenty of room. Lots of legroom in the front.

Rayford k

Very good and car of quality

Innovative car for the whole family is also comfortable and with accessible parts in the dealers. Is spoiled because it is necessary

Diania K

Nice color and compact with a lot of room inside, good gas mileage.

Low Mileage, good gas mileage, love the color which is yellow.

Karen J

Smooth riding Chevy aveo very nice and comfortable to ride in.

I really like my 2010 Chevy aveo. Although it is small, it is the right fit for me. It is all white with 4 doors and it rides very smoothly. I really do not have any problems out of my car. It is pretty good on gas and I just recently bought new tires. The speed is great it does not drive too fast but it can pick up speed. The performance is great and it is very comfortable.

Rebecca D

My tiny Chevy Aveo perfect for my big life.

Usual standard maintenance. Some major fixes in 6 years of ownership. Great gas mileage. Perfect for small families. Decent size trunk space. Replacement tires are cheap. Some engine parts are plastic and easily broken. Replacement parts are relatively inexpensive.

Sandra H

Small and affordable car! My rating 5/5.

The car is small but is very convenient when it comes to parking and gas. I bought this car is 2015 and I honestly do not regret buying this car. I recommend it for people who do a lot of driving and own a small place. My car is manual and even though it is not that big a hassle to lower the windows, I would have preferred it to be electronic..

Patricia V

Fun car to drive with low gas mileage.

It is a 2010 Chevy aveo. They have discontinued this particular brand so I bought it just in time. I love it. Besides having all the features I need like power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, good gas mileage it's fun to drive. It is a beautiful red color. Is a 4 door sedan so passengers have a easy time getting in and out. The price was good as well it fit my budget.

The Chevy compact car that saves gas. It has the greatest EPA.

I like the car and it is good on gas. It is not easy to do things in. But it is one of the best cars for gas mileage that gets you where you need to get to without wasting a lot of gas and you are always saving to get you to your location. It is not comfortable, but it is a reliable car and the features are easier to control.

Lori M

My car is junk not worth buying.

It is a 2010 Chevy aveo. I got it off the lot as is. No warranty. It had 32000 miles on it. I got it in July 2018. It has fallen apart. Radio broke. This silver piece on the hood fell off i've replaced the brakes.Rotors. Wheel bearings.Battery.Windshield wipers.The air went out I fixed that. The coil packets were bad replaced them. The back window broke. The speakers were dry rotted and blown. And replaced 2 set of tires.

Mariana D

Chevy aveo 2010 that will not start.

It is a small reliable compact car. It is great on gas and it has low mileage. The downside to the car is that it sometimes shakes when I go past 60 miles per hour. There has been times when I went to start my car and it will not start at all. I have had the battery replaced 3 times. Each time the batteries were brand new batteries. I also replaced the alternator and the spark plugs. It still not start at times.

Breanna G

The breaks aren't good, (the chevy aveo is known for this)

It breaks down constantly, the brakes are needed to be replaced yearly

You Get What You Paid For

Great within the first couple years of owning (secondhand, bought in ‘15) and then it started falling apart. Front speaker blew, TPMS is faulty, radiator and heater hoses break constantly, and it’s a gas guzzler. I’ve seen a lot of people say it has great gas mileage, but mine doesn’t. It’s not super comfortable for drives longer than 15 minutes, the heater and AC don’t work, and when the AC is on, it takes ALL the power from the car. It takes a long time to get up to even 30 mph from a full stop with the AC on. And for a 2010, it doesn’t even have power windows. The paint is also chipping and the car is only 10 years old. The only good thing is (when the AC isn’t on) it really does get up and go when you need it to. But that’s honestly about it.

Aldo O

Secondhand Chevy not always the best.

Because it is a secondhand car a lot problems did start occurring with a couple months after I purchased it like overheating, leaking from the bottom. Had to get radiator fixed and tubes as well. Also the band snapped and had to get a new one tire shocks. So a lot of things I had to get fixed but even then it still starts to act up and over heat.

Jessica G

When you go to a car dealership all ways test drive the vehicle and look under the hood of the car to see if everything looks good.

Ever since I got the car its been in and out of the shop getting it fixed nonstop. An when I called the company to talk to them about trading out the car. They told me that I can not do that because of my credit.

Small, easy to drive, easy to park.

My car is small so it gets good gas mileage. It is easy to drive and park, and so far has been reliable. It has a few upgrades like ac, power steering and cruise control, but does not have Bluetooth, auto locks or power windows. It is roomy inside, perfect for one or two people, and has a roomy trunk.

Kaci R on May 21, 2021

Do not buy the Chevy aveo 2010 ls model - not worth your money or time.

This car has problems with the engine almost monthly and no mechanic is truly experienced enough to fix it because they stopped making them in 2010. The car is extremely basic in it is features and does not have that great of a build. I do not recommend buying this car because you will end up putting more money into it than necessary.

Pros from Owners

Fedrick R.

Good on gas mileage, small and compact, easy to clean, parts easily acquired, perfect if you commute to work with it on a daily basis, durable in certain weather, very safe vehicle, low emission, synthetic oil.

Sabrina T.

I like the size and how there are not too many bells and whistles - the less buttons the better and not as distracting, also the fuel efficiency is amazing. The trunk is a huge size as well, and I love the interior.

Cons from Owners

Fedrick R.

Parts wear down fast, gm brand fluids which can cost a pretty penny, must replace parts with stock parts or else the car will malfunction, one problem starts another happens, very rough idle, Chevy dealerships are the WORST,

Sabrina T.

The only cons I can think of is that I wish it had a center console in the driver's seat - I really value storage in a car. I noticed the alignment is a little off currently, but that is an easy fix, and then I wish it maybe had something like Bluetooth or a better aux port inside.

Is The 2010 Chevrolet Aveo A Good Car?

It is not my favorite, but it is good on gas. That is probably the only good thing about this vehicles reputation.

C D.

Yes the Chevy Aveo is a good reliable vehicle that gets great gas per mileage and has given me minimal trouble as far as maintenance in the six years I have had it

Roxanne S.

Yes it is a good vehicle. It drives smoothly and I really like driving it. I did not pay a lot for it but it is very reliable. I only use it to go to work, church and shopping.

Lisa B.

It’s good on gas mileage so I guess it would be a good vehicle at the most point. But some stuff are hard to work on depending where it’s at

Blake F.

Mostly but has required quite a bit of radiator repair, oil cooler housing repair gets great gas mileage is roomy comfy ride

Melissa B.

How Reliable Is The 2010 Chevrolet Aveo?

It has it is shares, but it is good on gas. I just do not like doing work under the engine bay because it is small.

C D.

I've had a few problems with the headlights taking turns going out as well as the engine overheating and needing to replace tires and axles and coil on the car.

Kirk R.

It is reliable. It has minor problems such as the AC does not work and my brakes squeak. Other than that, my car is very dependable and I like driving it in spite of having no AC.

Hannah C.

Like I said, it’s good on gas. But it’s hard to work on because it’s a smaller car and nothing is accessible to get too

John L.

The radiator oil cooler housing tie rods ball joints air conditioning does not work gasket leaks catalytic converter needs replaced

Shelley D.

Is The 2010 Chevrolet Aveo A Good Value?

It cost a lot of money and we bought it used. It wasn't a great value for a used car even tho it had used mileage.

C D.

I bought it used from a local auto place and ended up paying 10,00 for it, I'd say I got it at a good value getting it used, brand new I’m not sure I’d have the same opinion

Richard B.

It wasn't a good value, but at the time we bought the car it was used and still not old. It also had not many mileage on it so I guess I’d say we got if for a fair deal

Cynthia G.

They are not made anymore I paid 85000 for Aveo and is now worth 1500 more than I owe and o would never buy another Chevrolet aveo
