hey all! sorry I havent been on in a while. I'm still here mostly lurking while I find another Aveo to drive. I really miss my 04 sedan and while the Cruze Eco 6spd has been fun to drive I feel as if I never shouldve pulled the trigger and gave my Aveo to my wifes cousin. I really shouldve kept it for myself. Around 200000 miles she totalled it. Such horrible pictures and my heart was broken. My wife drives the new Sonic hatchback and says its blows here Aveo hatchback out of the water. I personally do not think so. Both the Cruze and Sonic are all digital this, and bluetooth that. Too much for me to deal with while driving. Both cars are 2012 bought new. Anyway the simplicity of my Aveo sedan is what I enjoyed most. Good a/c, automatic, and a decent cd player. Thats what I had and enough to keep me happy while driving around. I miss all the conversations here and all everyone is doing. I'm still looking for that "right" used Aveo and when I find here I surely will be back with all of you! I shouldve mentioned that the Cruze has the 1.4L turbo and my wifes Sonic has the 1.8L. Both cartridge style oil filters up near the driver side of the engine. makes a mess during oil changes. You have to stuff a rag underneath the filter housing to catch the oil that drips. Maybe I'm just bitching because I love the Aveo! Anyway see you all soon. I'll be back on at some point! What my wifes cousin did to my old Aveo.
