As of this morning, I passed 170,000 miles. The car actually has a little more mileage but I subtracted the 6,125 miles that were on it when I drove it off the lot.
About 6 weeks shy of 12 years--still rolling!

I hit 320,000 miles on my 2009 yesterday. Do I have the highest mileage Aveo on record? lol. I got it brand new from the dealership. Solid $9,500 investment. I've got a 2021 Rav4 hybrid coming the end of this month. Sadly the Aveo is going to be retired or sold soon...

Enjoy your new car.
That is awesome! Im about 80000 behind you.

Looking toward some good hwy miles.
Got an 06 with over 200k miles. My mom had it for 13 years and gave it to me when she got a newer car.
04 Chevy Aveo LS and its at 130k. Still going strong with the motor and transmission. The body is hanging in there for a northern Ohio car (Salty winters = rust). Mainly front end repairs are where my attention lies these days.
2010 Aveo LT and I'm at 273,000 miles. I bought it five years ago with 179K and it would be much higher but for Covid. I haven't made my 80 mile round trip commute to work for a year and a half.
Sadly, I am about to part with it. It's been a good car and hasn't caused much trouble at all. Just the usual maintenance. I bought it for the mileage and now that I'm not commuting anymore, I'm switching to a Grand Marquis. Not big on MPG, but big.
My 2004 Daewoo Kalos 1.4 SOHC is about 160.000 Kilometers.
My 2007 Aveo is at 140,000 miles, running strong, and can easily hit double that. Bought it two years old at 36,000 miles. Like I've said, drivers with an engineer's sense of machinery know how to keep their rigs running. Drive and service these right and they can compete with the long-lived Toyotas.
I hear you brother. Grew up in Warren / Howland.
I have a 06 aveo LT 1.6L with 198,000 miles original motor and trans
I have a 05. With 312000 miles.
how about lowest? i have a 2007 Suzuki Swift+ with 73k km
My 2007 Aveo 5 just hit 77,000. My theory is that the manual transmission Aveo will go forever
with proper maintenance. It's like the original honda civic engine. It will outlast the car's chassis and other rust prone items.
2008 Aveo 5 LT 481,205
Had to replaced it got into a crash and was totaled by insurance but drove it home from work damaged hood and fire wall and window left fender. Was being drove to and from work 5-6 days week 120 miles round trip was trying to hit 500,000 Bought it with 45,000 miles was an ex rental car.
Replaced transmission at around 382,000
Had stopped at light and then would not move shut off motor put back into drive and moved fine but was making a rubbing sound thank God this was just 1000 feat from work, So parked till I replaced the trans I had bought 1 about 6 years prior for $350 off eBay with 45,000 out of a 2011 thank God (because the manual trans went out on my 1995 Nissan V6 4x4 pick up with 450,000 on it, here's the thing it was noisy in all gears except 4th) I took it apart everything looked fine except the actual gears there were a few chipped teeth and the stamped hub that goes through the main pion gear was being rubbed on actual cause was main pion bearing was way worn out allowing it to cock sideways and rub on the hub and that caused gears to break from miss alignment side load
replaced timing belt, idler, tensioner, water pump, serpentine belt, tensioner and coolant every 120,000 miles had to replace all wheel bearings once went with Timken tapered roller bearings, surge tank once, hoses once, and one alternator got a used on off of eBay with 56,000 miles off a 2008 replaced that at 250,000 bearing went out locked up.
My 2008 aveo 5 ls is rocking out at 154k miles
I have a 2009 Chevy avail five LS five speed 172,735 miles March 27, 2023 second owner original transmission clutch and engine no upgrades but does anybody have an idea on the proper strut mounts in the front for this independent suspension
179,000 2008 automatic
Get 1,000,000 miles on that engine and transmission. Bring it to the dealer you’ll get a brand new car.Quote:

same rear shocks on all years
But If you want a softer ride Monroe OESpectrum they were on my newer 2009 Pontiac G3 when I bought it did not feel every defect in the road
Mine is just a baby with only 150k miles.. runs great! I do have an air bag issue I'm now dealing with....
I just hit 80K. Had to replace a bearing on the driver side. My mechanic said the passenger side tie rod needs to be replace in a month or so. Otherwise she's running like a champ. Quiet and like I tell my friends, it's just a car, reliable transportation. 5 speed with no AC. "It's just a car". I love it.
Question to everyone, should I repair the rust on the back wheel area and pay to repaint?
It's like Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?
263k no check engine light. Have a slight rad leak but have a new rad for it
The Chevrolet Aveo's longevity can vary based on maintenance and driving conditions. Some Aveo owners have reported reaching 150k miles, while others have pushed beyond 200k. Achieving 250k miles on the same engine is ambitious but possible with meticulous care. Regular maintenance, including timely oil changes, can enhance engine life. Factors like driving habits and regional climate also impact longevity. Keep an eye on common Aveo issues, address them promptly, and you may extend your vehicle's lifespan. While reaching 250k miles is challenging, consistent upkeep can significantly contribute to your Aveo's durability and overall performance.

05 aveo, bought halloween 2021 with 188k on it. Three days later, timing belt jumped. Did water pump, belt, tensioner and idler. 231k, the engine support bolts on the passanger side sheared off while driving down the road and dropped the pass side of my engine and broke my pass side axle. Had timing belt tensioner break at 241k and had to have the head machined and valve guides replaced. Dropped the trans and replaced the clutch, flywheel and throwout bearing and also did slave, then drove it to Cali and back to WI. I do roadside assistance with it, and it's a hatchback. It now has 264k on it, did gear oil last week, and oil pan reseal with oil change this week. Regularly run 20k mile oil in it without issue. Perks of being my own mechanic is that it costs me nothing to do these jobs except some time. Currently waiting for time to do rear axle support bushings and front sway bar bushings, but averages 28-30mpg amd about 25 on a bad day.
264k with slight engine work, but still factory engine.
