Very happy with it , i think it is a 2008 model but i have no clue what aveo it is in the sense i see a few post saying aveo 5 and 4 .if any one could advise i would appreciate.

She has a few extras includin electric windows, sunroof , leather seats, a/c , power steering and a tint on the windows.

Nice ride!!!

Its more like 30k miles, but welcome.

Hey petrified you right come to think of it i am so used to multiplying to work out the speed thanks.


BTW thanks street racing PR

Yeah, I think that Petrified Rabbit has it about right on the mileage, actually, if you want to convert kilometers to U.S. (statute) miles, you multiply by 0.625. Conversely, to convert statute miles to kilometers, multiply by 1.60.

I'm a new Aveo owner myself...I have an '06 hatchback that I just got back in August.

i love ur car.~ dont get me started on those sweet headlamps

In the US, where most of us are, there's only the 4 door Aveo, which is just called the Aveo, and the 5 door hatch, which is called the Aveo5. If you wanted to, I'm pretty sure the 4 door Aveo could be badged as the Aveo4. You have the 5 door hatch Aveo5. There is a 3 door hatch, but that body style not available in America. And most of us here would kill to have that front end on our Aveo.
In the end, it doesn't matter what ya call it. An Aveo's an Aveo.

Welcome to the forums! I dont mean to alarm you but I think your steering wheel, dashboard and pedals might have been placed on the wrong side of the car! Have fun here and enjoy your stay with us!

Thats a good joke.

We in South Africa drive on the right hand side and we have right hand drives. Quite crazy a

Yes, most of us on this forum live in the USA and for the US, the front end is different. Getting the parts to swap the front ends here is a major hassle involving finding someone in another country where that front end is available, who's willing to ship them to the USA. Here's the USA front end. It looks like a cute dog begging for a treat.
