Nothing worn out or broken ...... aside from regular maintenance items like brake pads, belts etc. ????Originally Posted by Nickjwes
At about 52,000 miles the clutch exploded into 8 pucks and destroyed the bell housing and landed in the starter (and GM told me I was drag racing my car since that's the only way that would happen and it's still a sore subject)...so those were replaced. I've been in several accidents about 50/50 my fault but the radiator has been replaced at least once, maybe twice. It's the original motor though and I assume trans is mostly original (not sure how much they actually replaced). Panels have been replaced as well. I do maintenance almost religiously, and have replaced control arms at least twice. I'm doing the timing belt now, and it's an annoying job.
225k on the original alternator & fuel pump !! Pretty darn good.........ordering parts now the for third timing belt on my 175k Aveo. I leave the plastic cover off makes it easier, but still a pain.
242K on my 2009. I just replaced the clutch and now the rear axle bushings are gone pus I gotta do the timing belt. Not sure what to do.
If it didn't burn oil and everything was always maintained ( oil, filters,antifreeze,brake& master cylinder flushes....) I'd invest the few hundred more and see if it made it to one more 60k timing belt interval then trade..... Sure cheaper than a new car.
i have around 540k km on mine around 338k mile yes on same engine believe it or not
wow, most of these posts are so encouraging! I get my oil changed at Goodyear and I haven't taken the time to verify, but was told my little Aveo has a Toyota engine and should last me a very long time.
2011 Aveo, purchased new, currently with 33,334 miles.
They probably meant the Aisin transmission that the automatic Aveos have. (And not to knock the 2004 to 2008 Aveos, because I used to own one), but the 2009 to 2011's 1.6's are much more robust. They're essentially a smaller displacement version of the 1.8's in the Sonic, Traxx and Cruze LS's. Longer timing belt replacement intervals, metal thermostat housing, less valve cover leaks, etc. Spark plugs are still short interval coppers, so make sure you change them, and the ignition coil packs seem to be a bit of a weak point, but otherwise it seems you should have less issues with your 2011.wow, most of these posts are so encouraging!

And I'm up over 120,000kms now on my 2010. I think I've replaced all the front end components and I've done both front wheel bearings. Changed the spark plugs about 20,000kms ago. Had the thermostat and oil pan gasket changed on powertrain warranty. The only thing I was a little disappointed on, was 'only' getting 5 years out of the original rad. It happens though.
