      New Aveo Owner

      Ok, got my Aveo earlier this week. I needed a car with good gas milage for the commute back and forth to work. The damn suv you see in the background is one of the big reasons I bought an Aveo. The HEMI is a killer on gas, and I've been putting way too many miles on my wife's car. I actually wanted a 5 door, but I found this one at a local dealer and couldn't pass it up.

      She's a '04 with 40k miles on it and the car looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Even though it's just for the commute, I of course can't just leave it alone. Thanks to the great info on here, I have disabled the DRLs, dumped the bowtie off of the grill, tinted the windows 20% all around and of course had to replace those beautiful 14" wheels and hubcaps. Not bad for the first week. AEM CAI is on the way and I've got a lot more planned....

      Figured I'd through in a pic of the wife's ride too. It explains the avatar. Click for big pics.

      I'm debating about lowering it. I love the look, but it's gotta be done right and not jack up the ride. Will have do some reading 'round here and see what my options are....

      H&R's lower nicely without sacrificing ride quality...and it really improves handling.

      I fully agree with ron, I have h&r's on my 07 sedan and i couldn't be happier. The ride is comfortable, installation way easy enough, and the handling is great.
      I would definately recommend them.

      Welcome to the forum, nice pics... noting bad about a red Aveo... rims look nice, but give it that "4x4" look... lower it about 1.5" and you'll be golden...

      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      HA! You're either right or we're both going crazy...
