I purchased my 2008 Aveo in October 2013. I never thought I'll be driving a yellow car, but here we are. I adore my little Yellow Bird. Immediately after purchase, I replaced all the tires, plus new belt and new battery. I'm planning to put good floor mats to protect the car that was very well kept by first owner. This is my first car since I came to the States and I can not describe how happy I am. I'm aware that Aveo is not Mercedes, but I absolutely love my car, it gives me such a feeling of freedom and well being.
