Funny enough, as we enter another recession, I'll be driving my 2010 Chevy Aveo in it.
Same here in my 06
@@jjohnson2392 Jokes on me, my ex destroyed it.
calling an abandoned one in rn actually lol haha
My dad used to own a 2007 Aveo hatchback in red, and it had a rear spoiler. In 2013, it was parked in the parking lot at his workplace, and apparently, someone backed into it, and the back windshield got shattered and the trunk door got dented up. The owner of the car who backed into the Aveo gave my dad insurance. My dad had a rental Chevy Impala for 24 days as a result of that. In 2018, the Aveo was in a rear-end collision on the road, and at the time this happened, my dad noticed the car was almost out of gas. He had just enough gas left to get home (the gas canister was smashed in in the collision) and after that, he never drove it again. A few days later, it was towed away, and that was the end of the 2007 Chevy Aveo for my dad. He now has a 2018 Chevy Spark. True story.
Windshield shattered because of that? Goes to show the quality wasn’t there.
Hello, I’m the dad of Elevator Dude (Liam)! He has an amazing memory and attention to detail, and everything in his post above is completely accurate! In addition, I have three other things to ad!
1. His Mom and I bought that car in 2007, four years after we got married. It was the first new car we bought together!
2. When I had the accident on January 16, 2018, I was on my way to commentate a boys high school basketball game at Cascade High School. After getting the guy’s insurance information, I drove out to the game and commentated, then went to the gas station on the way home, but discovered that I could not get the fuel door open, so I drove home. The link to the game is below and I talk about the accident at halftime!
3. Upon getting the insurance settlement, I wanted to buy another Aveo, but found that it had been replaced with the Spark, so I bought a yellow one and have been driving it ever since! And I bought it from the same dealership from which Liam’s mom and I bought the red Aveo 11 years earlier; Andy Mohr here in Indianapolis!
Thanks to my wonderful son Liam for his great comment!
Here is the link to the game!

Lec Zorn that’s wild. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a TH-cam comment where someone tells a story and then the actual person involved comments on it. For anyone wondering I watched the video he talks about it at around 59 minutes. HE ACTUALLY GAVE PROOF TO BACK IT UP! Totally wholesome, hope you’re enjoying your new Spark, hopefully nothing happens to the rear end of this one!
Saw plenty of these cars in Saudi Arabia. But they disappeared off the roads so quick that by the time the T250 body style came around, it was extremely rare to spot a T200. Mind you, there were only 4-5 years of age gap between them. Whereas, the Toyota Echos and Yaris were still kicking bottoms 10-15 years later. Occasionally though, a wild T200 would appear, extremely beat-up, busted out lamps, car not even driving straight, OR a meticulously kept, top trim yellow sedan here or a nice blue hatchback there. These cars sure make me feel nostalgic. Ahh!! miss my childhood.
I have this car. I love it, and it is my first car, so 10/10 recommend this for new drivers. Mostly in town driving very few out of town. Nice to get more info on it. Only paid 4,000, like you said. With its age, it had a few things to fix but in all amazing for first car. Only spend $20-25 to fill Gass tank very rarely needs filled mb a week or two. I'm a hs student, and work. It definitely gets me where I need to go. Low mileage and low cost are great deals. I got my driver side backed in to, and it's held up great. 😊💖
Is this still a good car to buy for an individual wanting to start an e-hailing business?
Today is Christmas of 2023, and I’m going to begin my drivers training January 8’th and this will be my first car EVER! As a first, I’m super happy to have such a good car. (Considering what I COULD have)
FINALLY you did a Chevrolet aveo
Funny, I watched your wave review last week and was wondering if you would do an Aveo since I own one and love seeing others views on it. Interesting note, this car specifically predated the recession as it started in late 2006, which itself was a facelifted version of the original 2003 model that had a slightly dressed up interior, confusingly the old style hatch co existed with the new sedan for a few years before they updated it for the 2009 model year. Great video 👍
I have an 09 aveo and has A/C, cruise control, 4 power windows. 5 speed manual. It's pretty well equipped. Granted I'm in Scotland so different spec I suppose
My wifes car gave out on her the day before I had to leave town for 2 weeks and we were in a pinch to buy something in a hurry. We went to the lot and it was a choice between this and a Honda Civic, I choose this because it was a few thousand dollars cheaper. Boy was that the worst decision I ever made. Almost immediately we had to bring it back to the shop because throttle would cut out and the wiring harness had to be re-crimped. Then it had a wheel bearing that needed replacing. Then the rubber duct from the air filter to the throttle body dry rotted out causing unmetered air into the engine. Then one of the ignition coils went bad, but because the ignition coils are one piece I couldn't just replace the bad one. It would never stay in alignment and chewed thru tires. The final straw came when the air conditioning condenser exploded on a cross country trip. All of these problems on a car with less than 70,000 miles. We traded it in when the AC went out and I was damn happy to be rid of it. Dealer gave us what we had left owed on it and I consider that a hell of a bargain. Owning this car completely turned me off of GM products for life. I've owned Japanese cars since then and I've had no problems other than routine maintenance.
It will be interesting to see in 5-10 years how many of these Recession era cars last. A lot of cost cutting/mailing it in during that time
lol
Hopefully my Aveo is still working fine
We're already over ten years. Bahaha!
@@lotuscaterham20 so long as your easy on the engine and change the oil every 3k miles you should be fine. It has a Toyota transmission..same income that’s in the yaris
@@TragickSin yep! For the moment, it's doing great and no problems at all. Very reliable car even if it's made with cheap materials.
My family had a blue Aveo when I was young, I have many memories of it being a piece of crap.
Same 😭👎
have almost this exact car (mine has power windows/locks and cruise control). bought for about 2000 CAD dollars last year. im a broke ass college student and she's taken me on multiple 1400+ km road trips. she's good to me
Bought a 2010 Aveo5(hatchback) 4 years ago. Drove 1400km in one weekend the same month.
The 4-speed automatic in this, is the same automatic used in the Echo and Yaris.
The Aisin 80-40LE.
Would not be surprised since it was competing against both of them
Is it any good?
My 2009 Aveo came with cruise control
Here in New Zealand, these were a Daewoo Kalos. Kiwis didn't buy many of them as they were considered dated and probably unreliable.
The engine and transmission were old school, but should be reliable as they were proven technology. Having been around since the 1980s.
Originally produced by Opel. (GM Germany). They were designed to be cheap and basic. I see nothing wrong with that. I actually have one on my watch list of auctions. 1 x owner, 2003 auto with only 29000kms. (18000 miles). Simple technology. If you treat it well and keep it serviced, it should keep you driving for many years
This has been my dads car for 5 years now, ive been driving it now too and like i always knew it was basic and very barebones but when u said if you want to know what its like to live in America during the recession i was like “ouch 😂” here in Tunisia this car is a mid level vehicle we are considered pretty well off if we drive it so the contrast is insane, anyway great video and very funny too but i wanna stay grateful
Yes always stay grateful brother in america this is the cheapest car you can find usually 800$ but still 4 wheels and a good motor
Bought one brand new A TK Barina, Loved it.
Hi. It is my first car which was bought myself. I still own this one, it's Ukrainian copy-ZAZ VIDA, you spoke about this variant certainly. Yes, i agree Aveo is cheap, but pretty reliable and simply car and I can fix majority of small problems myself. I am a little bit sad from this video and your opinion about Aveo. But I still love my car. It does it work every day and I really appreciate it.
My father was saying "The best car in the world -it is a car you own. " It means if you really love your car-car will answer to you equally.
I had a five speed that i wrecked. I miss that little car. Yes everything was manual including the gears😊. RIP little aveo. It was a great little car.
Owner of 1,4L 96hp manual one here. It is currently at 655 000km. It is still going strong. Some non important things have stopped working like the electric driver's window. The trunk strut and the heating system(working on fixing it). This car could definitely go over the million km mark.
Woww dude how on earth did that engine last so many kilometres u must tell me the secret haha😁 i bet you change the oil faster then usual or idk
@@dracony7649 the oil is changed every 10 000km. They are just super reliable.
@@barzaka12 Thats really impresive so if i buy a used one with like 230.000 kms will it last me till at least 400k ? the same engine 1.4 96hp 2007 chevy
@@dracony7649 probably yes. Mine for sure is going strong. Where I live they drive them a lot as taxis, so they are quite reliable. Mine is an ex-taxi that my father bought 5-6 years ago with 580 000km. The only major repair has been an engine head replacement due to a crack on the old ome after a bad cooling system bleed. Also mine was driving on CNG when my father bought it up to before 10 000km, when I switched it to LPG. These should fuels should shorten the engine's live, but no problems since then. We are not sure what has been done before we bought it, so can't say a lot. Currently I have ~20 000km since the beginning of the year.
@@dracony7649 alao the best thing about them is that they are super cheap. An oil change costed me like 20-25€. And that is mostly the cost of the oil. The filter was worth 2-3€.
My recession era vehicle was a 1996 Nissan hardbody with a 4 cylinder engine it carried my wife and 2 sons everywhere we went it was and still is the most reliable vehicle we have it’s currently sitting at 312,000 miles
Loved the content but since you did one on a car like this could you do one on a dodge dart?
I would love that. 👌❤️😍
Decent review but I think you should highlight that the specific car you're testing is a base model. The Aveo was available with niceties such as power windows and mirrors, cruise control etc. It's not fair to the car to make it seem like ALL of them are as low spec as this one. It was all a matter of how much money (or lack thereof) you had to spend on a car back in 2008/9... some got the poverty spec like this one, while others opted for higher spec versions.
Now we need a review on a Mondeo!
We don't have those in America. We have the Ford Taurus.
The Mk1/Mk2 Mondeos were known as Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique in the US.
Later Mondeos were known as the Fusion in North America.
I drive a 2008 Pontiac Wave as my daily and it has been reliable. I miss that it has pretty much no fancy addons but it gets me to work and back and I'm okay with that. Just wish mine didn't have so much rust on the rear back wheel fenders. .... Anyone else have this issue with rust?
Lester Crests car lol
when's the next heist
I happened to have one but it's a 5speed manual and everything else to and heat only
The aveo is like the Fiat panda. It’s a humdrum little car yet there’s still something charming about it
Nice go to work car. However I would rather have a 2004, (give or take a year or two), Pontiac Sunfire 2dr coup or a YUGO convertible which is what I did have back in the early 90's.
Miss my Yugo convertible!!!!!😢
The Pontiac variant is one of the rarest cars ever made. This though is just a bad car. Everything it does is something a Yaris or Fit from that era could do better.
I'm 6 foot 1 weight lifter how would I fit in one
Where is the antenna?
I think they're all right I notify and saw but hey would you rather drive at or catch a bus everyday to work
Back in 2004 my wife and mother-in-law both bought Aveos. My wonderful wife wised up and bought a Toyota. My mother in law’s first Aveo died and she bought a 2010. It’s not bad but not great.
My MIL wants an electric car next car.
My dad bought this as his first car in america
I love my Chevrolet Aveo from hungary,
About to buy a 2009 w 170k miles, 1k$ just something to get by how much life do you think is left? My 2009 silverado got for 6k wanted 10 3 years now no problems 67k miles now 92
Did you buy it?
Needs b16.
Why does your windows have the rolling thing to roll it up 💀
It does have an aux input tho!!!!! Does anybody remember the Ford Festiva??? Idk which is worse🤔🤔🤔
GM did away with Saturn and oldsmobile at the same time also.. I'm sure you know that already though.
No. The last year for Olds was 2005 (Alero), the last for Saturn was 2010 or 2011.
How many of yall got 100k on this car ? Is it reliable?
My 09 was a Lemmon and is the reason I will never own a domestic vehicle again
It’s Korean built so it’s foreign
In my country, that car was named Chevrolet Lova. i don't like that car because in my country that car was used as taxi
My 2009 Chevy Aveo has cruise control
Mine too
In India, My aunt used to have the Chevrolet Aveo UV-A
It's not a GM, it's a rebadged Daewoo
And Daewoo was owned by GM
Unsafe cars in an accident!
Guess what its 2023 and I. Still have my Chevrolet Aveo. And have redone everything and al my parts come from AutoZone with life time warranty and they where cheap too. Like I just redone the front end: control arm 60 bucks each wi Lifetime warranty CV axle 90 bucks each with a Lifetime warranty. Water pump 60 bucks and alternator 80. This a cheap Chevrolet and to keep up the maintenance
a bit expensive if you ask me..., 4k? i mean sure 2009 and all but a car from the early 2000s or even late 90s had the same (lack) of features and luxuries , i personally won't pay more than 2k on one ,it might be a case of beeing spoiled by cheap german cars (mostly audi) with decent options that offer more , yet look at me , trying to be different i bought a 2004 focus hatch but its fairly optioned , sorry i went on a rant here XD
declasse asea
Comsumes too much gas despite the very little power it produces
GM is always in the wrong place 🤣😂
The back seat is terrible. And unreliable and slow af
All ECONOMY cars are rather slow.
This car is all you should know about a life in Ukraine and all former USSR. A native boarded reliable WC.
This is a car from a dystopian alternate universe where Obama was elected for a second term
Oh wait
Much respect to Obama
very unsafe car to drive. especially when the break pedal gets stuck when u need it. rubbish
j wanted to make it 69 comments
Poverty car
or a car someone who invests his money on more important things buys. Cars are money pits.
2009 Chevy aveo is a hunk of junk
Hell no. I have a 09 in 2023 and its a cheap car I redone everything except for motor and transmission. And guess what every part is from AutoZone with lifetime warranty and they are cheap
These cars are junk. Golf carts have a more plush ride at 60 mph
define junk. Did it break down, have mech or elec issues?
It isn’t junk
@@Veritas-dq2hs yes yes and yes
