solved poor aveo fuel economy

[daug1502]

No i'm not. It's personal bad luck with fords. Every time I get behind the wheel of a Ford it breaks. Edmonds doesn't know me.

I can remember driving a Grand Marquis once. The horn actuator was not in the steering wheel.

I almost broke my hand in slamming it on the steering wheel while trying to blow the horn.

IMHO that's a good reason not to buy a Ford product.

(Not that the tiny horn buttons on an Aveo steering wheel are much better...)

ps(1) has anybody seen the report on Forbes last week listing the "worst" cars on the road
and their pics. ....sorry to say the Aveo was on the list. ......

Why are you even on this forum anyways?

[daug1502]

Yeah that forbes bit has been talked about. And I'm still wondering what they know about cars? Besides we all know the aveo is an economy car, and cheap. To me that's part of the apeal, having a cheap project car that I can fix and enhance, while still enjoying a new car.

Yep, was posting my Aveo numbers and was asked to post the numbers for Fiesta i just traded for.
Read all posts and you will see that.
