Refined road manners and a spacious interior make this one of the better subcompacts on the market, but you miss out on the generous warranty of its competitors.

I bought a 2004 chevy aveo. around 56,000 miles, the timing belt broke once. so i got a good deal on a wrecked aveo motor and i replace the whole motor $800 including motor and labor. Around 17,000 miles more, the water pump dropped, breaking the timing belt once again. then i paid $1000 and had to have the whole motor rebuilt. and there is still a bunch of problems. i do not recommand … this car at all. its been nothing but problems.

2004 Chevrolet Aveo LS 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
I don't know what all the bad press is on this car. I bought mine new in June of 2004 and have been totally pleased with it. It handles well, is quite peppy when I'm by myself, and has incredible room both inside (amazing head room) and in the trunk. I get 27-28 mpg in town and have gone over 40
on the highway 40 when I'm solo. With the 5 speed tranny it is a blast to drive in the … mountains of Oregon and Idaho. I put a hitch on mine and can comfortably pull a small boat and still get in the low 30's for gas mileage. The only thing I've done is replace the timing belt as routine maintenance and the water pump as my mechanic noticed it was starting to leak just a bit. I love this little car!

2004 Chevrolet Aveo 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
I'm shocked at all the bad reviews with this car.
My hubbie and I bought this car used at a dealership with just under 29,000 km on it.
The dealership changed the fuel pump before we bought it (had been sitting in a garage for a while).
They only thing that was a problem was in the first year the breaks locked and we had to have it towed.
We had to replace all the break pads.
Faulty timing belt and shifter. Lemon!

2004 Chevrolet Aveo Special Value 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
Timing belt broke at 47K miles (well before the recommended 60K replacement). As a result, I had to spend $2,170 to replace the belt and cylinder head. Also, shifter sticks when pulling out of park. These are two VERY common problems. GM refuses to compensate me and I plan to organize a class action lawsuit and/or take GM to small claims court. The only reason this car is still on the … market is because not enough consumers are complaining. If you have the same problems, please speak up!
