Chevrolet Aveo owner reviews

"The Chevrolet Aveo is an affordable supermini that comes with plenty of equipment, but feels a bit cheap and isn't particularly good to drive."

I love the fact that the mid-range and top-end models have heated seats. It's really good for a cold winter's day. It can get a bit noisy on the motorway and the interior feels cheap. It is very hard to get up and hill so I would probably recommend the diesel option.

An extremely, pleasant, smooth yet zippy drive. Very economical on fuel which is one of its strongest points. Great for both long and short drives and a gem to look at. Generally the fully-equipped version is comfy,though the manufacturers could have paid more attention to the upholstery which has a few minor flaws.

Car is an excellent vehicle to own. It looks the part, runs like a dream and has not let me down. It's currently at 28,000 miles and still strong. Albeit it needs more power up hill, but with economic mode, electric windows and cruise control as standard, it does the job.

This car has been a good solid workhorse for me. Great handling, good acceleration when required. Comfortable, very economical. Came with 5 year warranty. Looks good. Great audio. Seated 5 adults without complaints. 88,000 miles from new.

Bought to replace a Smart ForTwo. The difference between the two is like comparing chalk with cheese. It's better built, better to drive, quieter, smoother - I could go on. Suffice to say I am very happy with this car and can recommend one. However, a manual would be better than the auto, which is a bit keen to drop a gear or two when braking, otherwise I'd have given it 5 stars not 4.

So far so good after saying I would never buy another Chevrolet I relented after a good deal at the local dealer.The Mark 2 version far better then first excellent round town easy to park ,parking sensors a boon its solid well built some say harsh plastics so what does it make a difference?The only niggles are no low down grunt in engine and road noise at speed
