i have had the car for three years bought it with 14.000 miles on the clock and have now done 34 .000 had the brake disks on front and shoes on back replaced at 31.000- comfortable- very excellent petrol economy- front wheel drive- perfect road holding in wet weather drives well at high speed on motorways - oil and filters and plugs replaced every 5.000 miles for good running economy- back seats fold down so as i can put extra luggage in or heavier bulky loads- will keep it for as long as possible - best car i have ever had

I have had my car from New, and it has been in the main dealer 10 times for various electrical problems. My car cannot be repaired anywhere except the Main dealer as parts are still not available and a service cannot be a full one as the local garage cannot access some of the engine components due to needing a special shaped tool. It has been the most expensive car for repairs I have ever owned, and I have had a BMW 525TDS. Which I still wish I had.

I bought a Chevrolet for the first time as it looked sporty but was eco friendly. I have always bought Vauxhall cars in the past but I am amazed how much it has saved me on petrol and would definitely buy another one

Show it a hill and it wants to go backwards. For a 1.4 torque is severely lacking. Surely GM can do better. Build quality, err, what's that. Shocking. Too much body roll. Don't ask about refinement it just is not there. Badly put together. Shocking nightmare car. Get a bike or bus instead.

All round good reliable motoring - not flashy or high performance - but great for long journeys - plenty of extras - comfortable - 5 year warranty - interest free finance. Very pleased!

Not as cheap to run as one is led to believe. Considering the vast amount of GM cars (Vauxhall etc) i find the Aveo unconvincing, archaic suspension system seems to have been used, awful steering, creaking suspension. My 100bhp Aveo rides well but show it a hill and it wants to go backwards. I previously owned a Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 cleartec and was far far superior. However, space is good. I could not recommend this car, because of these shortcomings I cannot consider the newer Aveo that was introduced in 2011 or 2012 as a replacement car in the future. I will purchase a cheap to run supermini, probably another Colt or Skoda Fabia.

great little car.

Really not a bad little car despite some of the bad reviews recently about percentage of mot failures. Its nippy economical reliable the only downsize that I have is that the suspension is really creaky

I originally bought the car for economic reasons. I was surprised at the look and feel of the drive. If feels much larger than it is and my son was so impressed he bought one 4 months later.

I recently bought a Chevrolet Automatic as I had one before, I think they are brilliant for the price with such good safety and equipment levels. Unless I win the lottery I will buy nothing else. Great well made cars.

The car handles reasonably well, but has poor front visibility, both for me who is very short and my husband who is very tall. The side visibility is also poor. Petrol consumption is average for its size. I don't think I will be getting another one.
