Missing our beloved 1st gen Aveos everyday!
Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver!!
04 Aveo (mine gone but never forgotten)
07 Aveo 5 (wifes car gone but never forgotten)
02 Suburban (Eats gas stations as snacks)
12 Cruze Eco 6MT (46mpg daily? Holy crap!)
12 Sonic 2LT (Wifeys new wheels)
Chevoo-1/2 Chevy, 1/2 Daewoo. I mean like WTF?
I just bought a used 08 Aveo with 78k...hope to get over 100k more out of it!
I just passed 111,222 Miles. Blew the timing belt at 110,XXX, but it's been a great and reliable otherwise!

I have an '05 that is at 221,000 miles and I beleive has finally come to the end of it's life. I am sure if I have a mechanic look it over maybe...but it does not want to start anymore without some long hours on a battery charger and she just sounds tired. We drive 100 miles round trip to work daily and we have definantly gotten our money out of it! Hate to let her go. It is still parked in my garage.
Only had mine a couple weeks, 2005 Aveo 4 door hatch LT, 1 owner..127,000 miles, runs great,31 mpg ,haven't been on interstate yet but really like the car.We plan on getting 300,000..Its got 15 "wheels & tires with a 55 series tires , that I figured would hurt mieage but I don't think it does.
I have 89,000 KM on my 2008. I just had the timing belt/water pump/idler/tensioner changed in January. Had it done because my 5 yr power train warranty was ending in March, 2013. Had it done at the dealer for $975. Unreal cost. I hope to get 10 years of service out of the vehicle. I am now only doing 12,000 KM a year. So it only has to hold together for another 60,000 KM
We just turned 186,544 miles the other day. I do an oil change every two months and rotate the tires then too. Only done tune-up maintenance and replace the timing belt once. On the bad side, the car has a whistling noise when you get above 65 mph, and I can only get tires to last 50,000 miles. We bought the car new, knowing we were going to put a lot of miles on it.

209k+ miles on my Michigan 2005. Third water pump. Just keep up with the regular oil changes and fix what breaks in a timely manner.
Other things have been replaced too, front struts, wheel bearings, control arms, rear shocks (2x), timing belt, rotors -normal stuff, really: but not the clock.
Last week the plastic thermostat housing split in two, right along the seem. The replacement housing is an all metal, two piece unit: impressive. An easy fix when no AC is involved. Just make sure you get the correct thermostat. Sold me a slightly cooler thermostat which kicked up the check engine light.
Otherwise, lovin' that car.
