Review
I bought my Aveo 2nd-hand. It was a 3-yr old car, and cost me $30K. I'm shocked that the new one is going for more than $50K. Everyone should get a 2nd-hand one.
Vehicle is relatively problem free, and fuel efficiency is decent at about 12km/L. The engine is not very powerful, but provides sufficient horses to cruise comfortably at speeds of 100kmh on the highways.
The auto transmission is not too good though. The gear change is slow and jerky (slightly). A strong jab on the accelerator sends the transmission bongers... it revs, drops a gear, then rev again... all the while giving me a slight increase in speed. That's not very helpful in dangerous situations.
Another irritation is the mirrors. The blind spot is as big as Australia! I do not know how they designed it, but I cannot see cars that are adjacent to me. I never faced this problem in my previous cars. I need a blind spot mirror.
What I like
- Cheap price (you can get it cheap 2nd hand only)
- Problem free engine
- Nimble
- Service centre is efficient (not crowded even though i went several times)
- Fuel efficient
What I do not like
- Transmission is really lousy
- New car is too expensive (don't buy it new!)
- Side mirrors should be changed. The blind spot is huge, and because of the convex shape, it gets very glaring at night from the headlights of the cars behind.

I don't like the car. Because of the horrible fuel consumption. And not much features. The right handed side mirror needed to adjust it manually. such a hassle. And there isn't arm rest! Cheap plastic trimming interior. Floating on the air when hit 130km/h on the road. Top speed is 170km/h. Not bad... Engine gets hot easily.
What I like
I like the design. The new aveo 5. Not the old one. Can use for dating chicks. Oh it's Dual CAM. That's what I like about the engine. Max RPM is 6. Oh yeah, And I can perform drifting tricks with this crap!!! unbelievable! haha.
What I do not like
The fuel consumption. It su*k! Can you imagine it's almost the same as RX-8. And I've raced with cars like Lancer, Mercedes SLK, Honda Airwave, Ford and Subaru Ts. I only won against Subaru TS. DAmn! Slow car.
