      258K miles on my '04 hatchback and still going strong!

      Time for another preventative timing belt replacement. Car doesn't burn a drop of oil. I must say my initial reservation back in 2007 of buying a Korean built car has been evaporated in the 218K miles I've put on this car since I bought used with 40K miles on it. I have a stack of receipts about 2" thick of all normal wear and tear items I've had to replace, and lots of oil and filter change receipts. Still have original exhaust, clutch, alternator, starter, and radiator, although there is a can of Bars-Leak I've used which successfully sealed my heater core failure last winter. I'm just looking to squeak out another winter if possible. Hopefully I've not jinxed myself by typing this post. Just wanted to share my overall satisfaction with my Aveo in the last 6 years. Needless to say I would buy another Korean car in a heartbeat.

      I'm glad for you, put another 250K miles on it. Did you ever had your engine rebuilt?

      Woo, very nice. If you take care of the Aveo it'll take care of you.
