Handles wonderfully, fits myself and three kids with all our baggage. The split rear seats can be "rolled" out of the way making a lot more space when I need to haul cargo. And of course the gas mileage, took it from Golden to Victoria for a work related conference the return trip through a mountain pass with snow and fog, two semi trucks off road, one trailer riding atop the cement blocks meant to keep traffic on the road not down the side of the mountain, and another semi crashed on fire, but my lil Aveo made the trip without a hitch!

Rear defrost isn't working yet. The light in the dash still works. Only one cup holder for the backseat passengers. 2005 Chevrolet Aveo Review:
Very pleased overall. |

Great on Gas but that's it! Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Aveo?
WOW! Where do I begin? The shifter has broken several times and I bought the car brand spanking new in 2005 at that time they only had 50,000 mile warranty and I waited too long to get the shifter fixed which is of no fault to Chevy. I take full blame for that. Nonetheless, I took the Aveo to the dealer and had the entire shifter unit was replaced it cost over $350.00. I was told that it did not come with their normal lifetime guarantee warranty but only a one year warranty (figures right?) well wouldn't ya know, exactly 1 yr and 1 month later it broke again!! Talk about being pissed off... So now I drive the damn Chevy around with the shift lock release button because I refuse to pay for a damn faulty part twice.... And that’s not the only issue I’ve had with the Chevy but I won’t take up all your time. So, to sum it up there has also been electrical problems with the damn car will not start in park but it will start in neutral (crazy right) and just these last two week (08/04/09) my brake lights wouldn’t shut off and it would drain my battery. I was told this is also an electrical problem but surprisingly it wasn’t too costly to fix ($42.00). 2005 Chevrolet Aveo Review:
Because of my lovely experience with the Chevy Aveo I will never purchase another Chevy vehicle in my entire life unless Jesus himself comes down and tells me to! |

I like the gas mileage in this car. I have taken it on a road trip from Ohio to Maryland, up to New York and back to Ohio. All with a full load of passengers and suitcases and bags (had to strategically place) and achieved an average of 34 mpg on the highway. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Aveo?
I have had problems with the shift lever breaking on me, had to replace twice. It would lock in park and I would have to use my key to override just get out of park. Also my lock cylinder fell into my door panel. I took off the door panel to fish it out and put back in place. Two days later I cannot open my car door from the inside and the window will only roll down halfway. 2005 Chevrolet Aveo Review:
Overall I think that this car is cheaply made. I think that I can buy a car that 10 times more reliable for just about the same price if not a few thousand more (Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit). I will never, ever, ever buy a Chevy again. |

I like the roominess for it being a small car. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Aveo?
I have had an electrical problem since the beginning. I did not take out additional warranty. If the car blower is on when you turn off the car and then start it back up, it blows the fuse. Then it takes out the relay. I have replaced the relay twice but not since 2007. I waited too long and the relay warranty is not covered. So, I have to come up with cash to replace again. The radiator over heated while I had it running and the door open. I swear the two are related but they tell me no way. It damaged something but that was covered on the 100,00 powertrain warranty. I have not replaced the relay and now my driving lights do not work nor the low fuel light. More electrical? Which is not considered to be part of the powertrain. I have to pull my manual out and see if I can locate the fuse diagram and see if it is a fuse. I am very frustrated and scared that this will continue to worm its way through my little car and leave me stranded!! I thought when I bought a brand new car I would be able to just drive it and maintain it. Not have to worry about major issues. I should have known though, my Lumina was a lemon from the start too! Trust in Chevy....not the next time I go to buy a car. |

NOTHING!!!!!!!!! 2005 Chevrolet Aveo Review:
This is the worse car I have ever had. This is my first new car and I have had more trouble then any used car I have had. I have had to change alternator 3 times, tires more times then I can count. The thermostat was 80.00 dollars when it went out. I could go on and on. I could have bought a new car that required more gas as much money as I have put into this POS. |

The ride performance, handling, room in interior. Comfort. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Aveo?
Move cup holder, cigarette lighter, also improve interior lighting in rear.
Alignment of trunk lid and tail lights don't seem right. 2005 Chevrolet Aveo Review:
Overall we are very satisfied with the Aveo but are weary of expenses for repairs as the miles rise. We are on a fixed income and this is the newest vehicle we owned. Like it and try to care for it but expenses scare me as time goes on. Should we trade off at certain miles or can we depend on it for a long term? |

I love my Aveo. It is roomy, has great gas mileage, and very comfortable. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Aveo?
The drink holders are in a bad place. I can't get used to the wiper knob or the headlight knob. They work different than I'm used to. 2005 Chevrolet Aveo Review:
I have a question..... Can you put a remote starter on an Aveo. Mine has Power windows and no keyless entry? |

The spacious interior. The quick handling.

The drink holders interferes with the climate controls. The shifter should be on the dash just right of the steering wheel. The door detents should be deeper. The slightest wind blows the door shut. 2005 Chevrolet Aveo Review:
A great car for the money and with a few changes, I would purchase another Aveo. |

The gas mileage, its dependability. My husband is 6ft 5 in tall Im 5ft 7 and we travel in our aveo. My teenage children and I drove from Missouri to Connecticut because it was affordable with the aveo. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet Aveo?
there seems to be a more than normal blind spot in the aveo 2005 Chevrolet Aveo Review:
I do have a question about my aveo. Is this true or false. Does the aveo have a defect of the hood wearing out and locking open. My hood will not close all the way around the side and window side of the hood. It locks only at the front area. Why? and What can be done..... Over all I'm love my aveo. |
