Looking for information...

Greetings, first time poster here. I'm a musician for a living and travel a lot so I'm in the market for a fuel efficient car with enough room to throw my guitar, mic and guitar stands etc (occasionally my Peavey Escort for those solo acoustic shows) in and make a 600 mile round trip without costing a fortune.

My wife and I were used car shopping yesterday going lot to lot. when I spotted an Aveo5 that is in my budget. I know very little about these cars other than it fit my criteria for appearing at least to have the necessary cargo room and achieve 30+ MPG highway since that's where I do the vast majority of my driving.

The car in question
2010 Chevrolet Aveo5
112,000 miles on the odometer
Automatic Transmission.

The lot was closed at the time so I didn't get to drive it was planning on heading down there tomorrow and if everything checked out in the test drive, making the little car mine.

I was trying to do some research on the car ahead of time when I stumbled upon this forum and thought...who better to ask than folks who drive these cars all the time?

My 2001 Ford Windstar gave up the ghost a few months ago at 285k miles. I've been renting little cars from Enterprise almost every week (driving a 2015 Nissan Versa Note right now) to get to my non-trailer gigs. My 2000 Dodge Durango just gets WAY too terrible of gas mileage to drive when I don't have to tow the trailer, and cuts into the profits worse than renting a car. So my hopes for this car is to reliably (with proper maintenance) drive me A to B sometimes 300+ miles one way.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and let me know if I should be running toward or away from this car.

(P.S.: I love when there is a forum to join for a car I own and WILL be sticking around if I purchase said car.)
