The Chevrolet Aveo boasts high levels of standard equipment, and a new, motorbike-inspired interior. The funky rev counter and LED speedometer add a sporty touch to the Aveo's cabin, while the coupe-inspired styling, including hidden rear door handles and aggressive headlights, adds even more kerbside appeal. The Aveo is more practical than the excellent Suzuki Swift, and with prices set to undercut many of the class leaders, Chevrolet has created a tempting package. A new diesel version should also be one of the most frugal cars in its class too. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Hi Rebecca, I must say that I really like this review! The flow is natural & comfortable :)
I like how u make comparison with others cars and show us the equipments and practicality of the car in an orderly way.
Most of all, I appreciate that you touch on the design, which is rare in carbuyer reviews.
Awesome! Mine reached 7000km last week and still no problem!
Greetings from Porto!
Brilliant review, keep it coming
Great car for a good price. I've had it over four years now since new and have had no problems. Shame Chevrolet no longer sell in the UK as I would have bought the Cruze next.
Alex Pavitt You can still buy a Cruze. .a good choice if you want to buy a second use car.For the best price you have a Cruze And. you don't have to be a shamed to buy an used one!
How is it doing right now? I'm thinking about having one as my first car
That's great to hear!
I have mine since October 2012 and only have 5500km (I use public transportation when it's possible).
But it's great to hear that at 15000 km, the car haven't got you any trouble!
Sat at 82000 miles now and it's still no grief.
Good review!
The Aveo name appeared in the US. I rented one on Kauai a few years ago. It is a fun car to drive, and it is a lot easier to see out of than many contemporary cars. Luggage for two were no problem.
Saying the back seat has ample leg room for adults is arguable. But as a car for 2 or 3, this is a good car, at least when new.
Finally, now that Ford is bailing out of passenger cars, and Fiat-Chrysler may do the same, and GM world cars like Aveo may have the North American small car market almost to themselves.
Mat is still there but I think the two of them make a good tag team and present very well with these reviews.
right on ;-) Just bought a LTZ and i am more than happy with it ;-)
I actually prefer the styling of Aveo and that Chevy badge. Much more interesting than a Corsa. I'm sure people who aren't checking out the Aveo are missing out on quite a few things. After reading your comment, I'll defo add this car to my shortlist. I was looking for a Seat Ibiza or Mazda 2.
excellent review
Really love the design!
she's getting better..
good job..not a bad car really :)
I just bought one of these in Australia! Here it's call a Holden "Barina" though! ;) Not even chevy badged.
This looks like a really good car to pick up. My only concern is that because Chevrolet are no longer trading the UK, with the exception of Camaro and Corvette, is that the parts will now be expensive to get hold of if something goes wrong.
Just don’t break it
It's basically a Corsa underneath so parts availability through GM is absolutely zero concern
I mean we've had the same Avei diesel for about a decade now and literally never had a real problem besides a blockage in my air con line.
nice video, but the mpg in the 1.3 diesel will actually be around 54mpg for anyone thinking about one. I personally love mine though. Best wee car I ever owned!
Good review
I really love the accent
Its amazing 😍
wow the US version "sonic" is so much nicer than what you guys get in the UK, but you get a diesel i just wish they brought them here.
She is getting better - Like!
We bought the diesel one of these last year as an ex-demo, had done 500 miles. We had no problems wit it for the first year. However, in it's second year we've had nothing but trouble. Every time we start it, it bongs, and an error message comes up on the dashboard. The engine warning light also stays on. It's been to the dealer to be fixed at least 5 times, but it's still doing it. We also don't even come close to 78 mpg, we average 53 combined. However, it's easy to drive and cheap, so it's ok
What then, did they fix it..?.. Do you have it now.?
I agree that its a fine car. Its let down a bit by the old Opel engines though and in particular the entry level 1,2 petrol. Which simply has no power at all, when you get into 5. gear. But luckily GM is already working on a whole new generation of engines to replace most of the current ones.
I realy like your presentation Rebeca. :)
There are 3 engines... 2 Petrol, 1 Diesel.. what useful information ¬_¬
Here in America, this is called the Chevrolet Sonic. It is the replacement for our Aveo. This is a much better car than the old Aveo.
can i disagree with you? its a very good car, fun to drive, and for the price of 12500 euros (LT version) it have a lot of extras. I have one, and i love it
My new car from 1.o4.2013. Coolest Car 1.2 liter engine accelerates to 200 km / h gasoline burns 6.5 liters per 100km.Chevrolet be tried, well thought-out solutions. Recommend!!. TOM-Poland.
I Love my litte aveo mine has around 70.000 KM and no Problems. And it's just so Nice to Drive this lovely Car. And it is my First One. In driving Lessons i had a VW Tiguan, and i like my aveo more Then the tiguan.
same here! this car is surprisingly comfy, right?
G3rmanb3atxp same here. Mine has 80.000 km and is still going strong!
How many speakers does our cars have 2 in the front what are those things in the door bass or speaker 🔈?
Man, so nice 😊
Awesome car.
This car's design looks great by the way, not boring at all. Sure looks like the chevy sonic though.
Nice color.
We Love you Rebecca n Mat!
Yeah, here in Portugal the cars are very expensive. The new Focus costs at least 20k euros.
The Aveo costs 10k euros at least, which is much more affordable.
But fuck the gas prices! 1.6 euros per litre which is over 2 dollars per litre, over 6 dollars a gallon!
That's why I usually use public transportation. It's better for the environment, I do more excersice and better for my wallet!
How the prices now?
i will going to buy a chevrolet aveo 1.3 ls 2012 and i liked it's design
I think this is a better review then the previous Mitsubishi 4x4 review, however it does come across at times as though she is reading what she is saying. Like an autocue ya know? She needs to work on that as otherwise she's great and has a nice voice.
I bought an Aveo because she told me to. I do love British women!
Hi Rebecca, Could you please review the Chevy Aveo SEDAN model? Expecting the upload from you or Mat Watson!
Thanks man, I'll do the same, although I don't drive as much as you :p
Have a good one!
I love Chevrolet
You guys need to reivew the Honda Jazz!
78.4 British MPG = 65.282 US MPG. Still very economical.
You say that in the back seat there is loads of headroom but you're only 5"4. I think I'd rather go for the Kia Rio as Matt seemed to fit quite comfortably in the back there and plus you can't argue with a 7 year warranty!
i love it when she says "here" her accent is funny
I test drove the 1,2 petrol and it is horribly slow when accelerating.
And I must say, you mention it on every review that there is very good leg room in the back, but that is because your seating position is practically in the dashboard.
does it came with iPod connectivity ?
please make a review for Mazda CX-5
this car (the ls trim level) didn't come with air conditioning or power windows standard in 2011, which is really disturbing, but you get what you pay for
I like potatoes, I like stew and I like Rebecca too.
so cute this Chevrolet Aveo
@SuperWargreymon Problem, officer? I can't find a single thing to point wrong about this review. It's actually one of the best reviews she made...
Smaller displacement engines, diesel engines, and larger gallons. If the diesel makes it to the US, the emissions equipment required in US diesels will knock the mileage down nearly 10%.
we can only hope
Please review Subaru Forester
@paypointpal The new Aveo is based on the Corsa so it shouldn't be too bad in the corners
Those round head lights look quite affordable to replace, some merc lights are over £700.
Put CD's in the top? Do people still have those in the car???
@Ragref I don't see this as much of an improvement lol.
Yes you're right... it's called the Chevy Sonic in America... They have kept the old Aveo name for the UK and Europe... silly really they should have called them all the Sonic... we've got a Diesel version here in UK but don't know if that is available in the USA!
This is alright I would like it to be better looking
Please do the Fiat panda review!
I will be solfish if i will ask for another Mitsubishi review?Unfortunately there are so few reviews about this brand :(
I like this little car. Every time GM makes a good car they quit making them.
Carbuyer:Josh, what a lovely car. Can I rent your car for a day?
Josh: Thank you. Sure.
3:18 "cheap plastic interior"
@swunt10 it`s a opel corsa underneath..
My Chevrolet Aveo long version 1,2 2012 reg,VK 183 ER Croatia
I love this girl ...
78mpg!! We need that over here in the US! The best I could think of its the Prius 50mpg?
its actually closer to 54mpg. sorry 9 years late replying haha
go for the saloon version, you'll get more space in the boot. this really looks like a box of matches...
is that like a chevy sonic but called aveo in UK?
@Naoufalitos24 yes but it's also named the new aveo :D
also look at the website, its UK!
You can fold the seats down... to give you more room..... but it does not lie completely flat.... -Matt
why do people assume our cars are unreliable? cheap looking, that's unfortunately true... but they last forever! all I see are 90's Pontiac and Buicks with 200k+ miles, still going. what car does the UK manufacture? when they build cars, they break down.
thats becuase they have big engines
i am also satified with my Chevy Aveo.It is not cheap build, it is solid build,and ithe interior quality is in same level as my Toyota Auris which was much more expensive.
Jaguar, Land Rover, Vauxhall... just to name a few. Do these all break down? And compared to cars built for the Europe market, such as Volkswagen's, yes chevy's break down a lot in comparison. I assume you don't drive..
Land Rover is one of the the more notoriously unreliable brands out there.
Aveo is a korean car by the brand Daewoo sold by Chevy in the US.
"Chevrolet Aveo. The Chevrolet Aveo (/əˈveɪ.oʊ/ ə-VAY-oh) is a subcompact car manufactured since 2002 (by Daewoo from 2002-11), marketed worldwide in 120 countries under seven brands (Chevrolet, Daewoo, Holden, Pontiac, Ravon, and Suzuki)"
Is there a 2 door or 3 door?
@paypointpal she was going through double twisty bends. If you wanna go faster, you have to be drifting :P
would an 83,000 mileage be fine to buy?
Is this car in the b-segment or c-segment?
Amazing! I'm from Portugal :)
come on bring Mat back :)
looks like a good car, seems a better option
rather have this than a fiat or corsa
honda jazz, toyota yaris, mazda 2 or this. which is better?
Tougher EU regulations on MPG and customers have since the 80's come to expect very high MPG also most european cars have smaller engines and all gasoline and diesel fuel have on average a 20% mix of ethenol/methenol.
I drove one of those in Spain. Would be a good little car if it wasn't so horribly underpowered. What's the point of fitting an underpowered ECO-Engine in a small car. You just end up having to rev it much higher to get any form of acceleration which in turn means consuming more fuel.
How tall are you Rebecca? I am asking because when Matt ( 5 '11" ) shows us that there is plenty of leg and head room for everyone - I am convinced. Whereas someone who is 5' 2" would have a lot of head and leg room in the back seat of essentially any car that is on the market.
I love the reviewer much more than the car ;)
In my country it's called Sonic
The front looks like a slightly variated version of the colt
@aspiringdrummer17 My point is, it looked as though she was only doing about 25mph, how can you judge cornering at 25mph lol.
My dads Jag takes corner great at 25mph, but at 70mph.? Not so much.
@OpForza Actually i love hyundai and kia, but daweoo is an exception.
@swunt10 Chevrolet is the former Daewoo, which is Korean.
theres loads of leg and head room because your 4.5 feet tall!! Like the design tho :)
I like the way she talks
"bigger than a Suzuki Swift, and a Ford K.A"
Yooka: It’s just called "Ka".
love the title, CB 12MAR12 chevy aveo YT...... also in america this replaced the aveo and its called the sonic
Hope Rebecca or Mat see our comment and upload...!
This is a superb car, but all in all its basically a much improved and updated 'Daewoo Kalos'. Same shape etc and engine just looks different due to when Chevrolet took over Daewoo when they went out of business.
@Marsternelle4 horribly slow? Then gotta up your budget to get faster ones like mazda2 or honda jazz. This is a good budget car mind you :)
How much does it cost?
I'm curious why its called the Aveo, while in U.S. its called Sonic
