I'm thinking about purchasing an Aveo

[Thymeclock]

congratulations. glad the sleazy dealer experience didn't make you hate the car like it does with so many.

Apparently the later model ones have not seen the problems (yet?) that the earlier ones have had.

As for the sleazy dealer experience, let's hear from Vanessa (and the GM team that currently dwell on this list) with what they will do about that - meaning let's hear something other than their corporate recitation of purely positive, canned platitudes to placate Aveo owners. You might have to entreat them with numerous calls and documentation if anything goes wrong with your car under warranty, before they repair it.

The Aveo is not a bad product. Chevy dealers and GM warranty service can prove to be far more problematic than the quality of the vehicle.

i couldn't agree more, most of the complaints i hear about the aveo (here and elsewhere) have more to do with a mechanic who couldn't fix it properly after numerous attempts than the car being directly at fault.
