What can I say? A wonderful vehicle.

I got 547,000 MILES out of my 86' Jimmy without any major repairs. Still looked great due to the Vancouver Island climate and still reliable too. But, don't think the Aveo can do it. We'll see..............

Thats a fair amount of miles per year (23k miles per year, 115k total for us US folks). How do you feel the Aveo is holding up?

You're coming up on your second timing belt job... You obviously like it since you've kept it for 115k so far... long commute?

How's the engine sound/feel? Using any oil?

Good report - thanks for posting it.

Actually, that's the same as 115,625 miles.

The motor sounds and runs just fine, uses no oil. I'm a fairly aggressive driver, so it's not been babied. Everything is holding together just fine as my report shows. It's only seen a dealer once, so it may just be my expertise .

Don't know where all the miles came from, few trips from the west to the east coast and back again, plus I live out in the sticks, so no matter what you do , you need wheels. I'm now retired, it's all about shopping and going to doctor appointments ., oh, and my hobby.

You guys just wait, you'll find out. Maybe you'll start a new site on mods to you electric scooters .

Almost ready for new lower control arms, keeping an eye on the bushings. Rear brakes as well.
