Well I bought the limited TEAM CANADA EDITION, leather wheel and shifter knob sunroof ect, and I am in Canada things here not the same as the US. I spend most of my time in the US so I know how much cheaper things get the further south you go.

When making the decision to buy the AVEO your going to find this funny, I said to my wife you know are second car is beat our Cavalier needs new tires this is the funny part our Cavalier needed new rubber...I said to her, lets buy a new car and put off replacing the Cavalier tires.....and after owning the Aveo for 4 months I had to shell out for new rubber for IT !

NO WARRANTY COVERAGE GM CANADA REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM. They cost me over 150.00 each to replace.

How I came to be the owner of this Aveo..well I did the math, GM dealer told me Aveo will get 51MPG and I verified this MPG on various websites and the car window sticker... the 2009 was a remake of the Aveo, we waited to buy the 09 for that reason the all improved version it was suppose to be....about 7 months after we owned the car mysteriously all those published MPG numbers disappeared off the GM website, the TDI VW was getting 70 MPG diesel and I confirmed this with someone that owned one, but was double the cost of the Aveo....so the VW didn't pencil out and I was a long time GM car buyer I think this Aveo is my 2 brand new and 5th less than a year old GM product...I took the word of GM because of that history.

Well turns out Aveo was getting around 23 Mpg for the first 6 months we owned it, chewed up a set of tires in that time frame, transmission wouldn't shift still doesn't GM didn't fix it, Powersteering pump failed first 90 days I owned it, car stalled all over the place including while you were driving down the street, GM didn't fix it, stero system shorted out, GM didn't fix it I had to disconnect it, paid IDK how much for that sat radio feature LOL which never did work and nobody could keep the car on the road. The first 6 months we owned it I think it spent I will say around 8 weeks in the shop. We couldn't keep air in the factory aluminum rims and had to pay out of pocket to have those removed and sealed, Onstar quit first 3 months we owned it..GM did fix that.

Is there a recall on this transmission shifting issue I have not seen one...sure should be problem is whenever I take it to the dealer they write can not duplicate problem...well I drove around with a capture device in the car they gave me and I captured it for them so they can't tell me it wasn't duplicated...never heard a single word back from them. No recalls when the dealers don't write up work orders for issues on the car. Can you recall for 50% less MPG then was advertised ? These are huge issues, should have been a recall on the OEM tires I have a work order here from a GM dealership that states rear tires 0/32 tread and the invoice actualy says this " CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE " and right after that it says WARRANTY DECLINED.

I owned two Chev Cavaliers one brand new right off the lot the other 1 year old....the first one never did see a service bay or have a recall and it never left me anywhere great car. The second one never saw a service bay till it had 80,000 KM which was the day I replaced the OEM tires and took it in for an alignment...never saw a service bay again until it had over 170,000 KM on it and it needed and rad fan and I replaced the thermostat on it once. My Cavalier still has OEM exhaust and it looks good, the Aveo wow looks like it might rust through any day now. I know a good car when I see it, the Aveo not it by a long shot.

Cavalier I replaced OEM tires at 80,000 KM and they could have went more but I was going on a trip. The Aveo well I am on set number 3 now and I had to shell out over 800.00 bucks for steel rims and rubber for winter or else park the car when the snow flew....it has 87,000 KM on it.

Cavalier I replaced the O2 sensors at 150,000 KM when I tuned it up didn't need them. The Aveo already replaced the after cat $ 147.00 bucks at 82,000 KM on account of CEL. Aveo spark plugs went through 3 sets before the recall plus the recall ones the Cavalier is running on it's second set. 228,000 KM VS 88,000 KM. Cavalier rear strut went at 180,000 KM so I replaced all of them, Aveo all four shot at 80,000 KM. Cavalier OEM battery failed in spring 2008...5 years of service, Aveo's OEM battery already replaced at year 3. Cavalier just had a safety done on it at 221,000 KM every component passed (but one rear wheel brake cylinder) and it's all original tire rod ends, ball joints, bushings. The Aveo entire front end has been replaced at 88,000 KM and the whole rear end was replaced at 8500 KM. Cavalier has heat in the winter time the Aveo doesn't. The Cavalier hugs the road all four seasons, the Aveo well I will not even talk about how it handles. I can pull a trailer with the Cavalier the Aveo I can't..nor would I likely fry the transmission first hill I took. The Cavalier has hauled 2000lb loads of shingles all over the place. The Cavalier when I step on it at 30 MPH it will squeel the tires the Aveo well it does pick up speed for sure, sometimes anyway. Cavalier has more room than the Aveo...and they both get almost identical MPG. Cavalier insurance is cheaper and good golly when I turn the Cavalier key...it turns over the Aveo well sometimes u need to wait or give it a few tries your just never sure if it is going to or not....and if it does start will it remain running that to is often a mystery....

I cant even count the hours I have spent on this Aveo, fixing, talking to GM Canada, taking it here taking it there trying this trying that premuim fuel MPG testing.....research it's not even a hobby any more, it's become more of a I am not going to be beaten by this POS it's gonna run and drive like it should or I will die tryin. I enjoy my Cavalier and that is how car ownership should be...if your the kind of person that goes looking fortrouble then buy an Aveo.
