If it makes you feel better, with routine maintenace and fixing little things here and there, my 04 aveo is at 140,000 miles and still runs and drives great even with the few upgrades I have. AEM cold air intake, eibach prokit lowering springs, kyb shocks and struts, 17inch rims, full stereo system. aside from doing the timing belt, Ive only had 2 big issues in the almost 3 years Ive had my aveo. At 108,000 miles the ignition coil went bad and killed the air/fuel ratio sensor (upstream o2, bank1 sensor1) and the catalytic converter, and at roughly 110,000 miles the rear suspension has what some people refer to as a dead axle assembly, the passenger side front bushing failed, and you cant just replace the bushing (I searched for a few weeks, even called energy suspension to custom make the bushing and they wouldnt) so I had to replace the whole dead axle assembly. Otherwise, at 140,000 miles, I still average 31-32 mpg mostly city, Ive had as high as 37mpg which was all highway
