Just picked it up this week, had 0 on the odometer. My daughter and I liked it better than the cobalt, it seemed much quieter. Seems to have plenty of pep once I figured out the clutch.
Why do people have to tell you all the bad things they heard about a car after you bought it?
I hate people that try to bring you down.

Welcome to the site coonhound! Good to have another silver Aveo!

Don't worry about the comments. As long as you like it, thats what matters.

Is the car for you or your daughter?

She is ten so I bought it for me to drive for the next six years, the it will be for her to enjoy. It was important to me she help pick it out and that it is a manual, if you don't start on one you won't learn to. I drive 58 miles round trip to work and the s-10 was killing my wallet. once I figure out this clutch I'll be happy.

Nice wheels, I was thinking of putting winter tires on the stock and put some personal flair on in the summer.
You guys are great, I can't let people get me down. New car for price of used, and it looks good.

very nice car, you will get used to all of the people who dwell on the past though

you wont have any problems with if you take care of it =D>

Welcome, the problem you're having with the clutch is the "progessive shift" system. That and our accelerator pedals are drive-by-wire operation, so with those 2 things it does take a little getting used to but once you've got it dialed in you can really have fun driving the hell out of this car. Congrats on the buy and the new addition to your family. Any plans for mods to it, or just keeping it stock?

coonhound,

If you keep driving 58 miles round trip, then 58x5x52x6=90,480 miles in six years... make sure you change the timing belt at 50-55k miles and you should be good to go... Timing belt breakage in our interference engines cause quite a bit of damage. But if you keep it up and change your timing belt on time, you should be good to go.
