I bought my '05 Aveo brand-new and still drive it as a second car, 18 years later. Very basic car, has needed some repairs over the years but the body and paint still look great and the interior has held up well. Overall cost of ownership over 18 years has been very low.
Dont worry, i just bought an 08 Aveo5 Special Value in the same victory red as shown in the video, its got a 5 speed, and im gonna make sure it never gets scrapped. Ever.
I think the 2000-2006 second generation Hyundai Accent, even though it was just a 3 door hatchback, was a much better car than the Chevy Aveo. It aged much better. I would rather take a 2000 Accent GS over a 2004 Aveo LS as a beater in 2024!
Only 30mpg in MW's mixed driving loop? I feel like a small car like this should have got a lot more, considering contemporary Civics and Corollas - much bigger and more sophisticated cars - were pulling the same or better. A modern Honda Accord can expect 35+ MPG and many mid-size SUVs get 30 MPG these days. I 'm guessing the four speed auto was to blame? A 0-60 time of 10.2 seconds might not win any stop light derbies but this would have been considered a sports car in the mid 1980s! I guess it is all relative. One last comment, I still see the occasional Aveo from this era on the road. Many may be newer than 2004 models, and they are not always in great condition to be fair, but maybe these were far less 'throw away cars' than their Daewoo predecessors, going all the way back to the '80s Pontiac LeMans. This is not scientific by any means but just something I've noticed.
I had one - the problem is you'd need to give it a lot of throttle just for keeping up with traffic and that tanked the mpg's. If you drove it somewhere with no cars around you and were on no time table, you could get a lot better by just feathering the throttle and doing 35 on a 50 mph on ramp, for example.
@@oldtwinsna8347 Aveo engine did not have the sophistication of the competition; it was similar to many 4 cylinders of yore. If you recall, many small 4 cylinders in the 80s and 90s had fuel economy similar to the Aveo's

Have a 05 hatchback same color but 5spd, 250xxx on the clock. Starts every time.
Man I wish there was still a new car for 9-12K new.
Very nice this car
Nissan Mirage and Versa are $15k-$16k new
10k is the same as 16k in 2023. Mirage and versa exist
@@Lzrdman91its still not 9k to 12k that was the whole point in then saying thst smh😒😒😒 YES everyone knows what inflation is
The real problem with owning a Aveo is owning an Aveo.
Sobering to realize 20 years has gone by since these cars were introduced; there probably aren't that many of this Gen left.

@@genisis3457 Good!! Good luck with that!
They really struggled to make this car sound good
