07 had just over a year 7000 miles.Jerry

[AVE0SAM]

just hit 60,000 miles on the old aveo the other day....the warranty is officially over, not that I ever used it

[exodus]

'04 at 61,900mi as of today...

Upstream o2 sensor went bad (think it got whacked by some yard debris that I ran over after it fell off the back of a pickup)... $72 for one without a harness from autozone

Waterpump started leaking... replaced under warranty.

Regular maintenance $320 for belts pulleys and tensioners. (replaced at the same time as the water pump)

A couple bent wheels $150

This thing has been through RallyX, mountain driving... to Pa and back 900 times, maine, held up to the access roads to the spectator stages of Rally Wv (these are rougher than the special stages they race on!)...

We paid $9000 after taxes/title... Even if it dies at 100k miles, I'd say we got our money's worth out of it.

i have to say that after 83000 miles i have had no problems with my aveo. back in july of last year i did something stupid and played bumper cars with the saturn in front of me and took a right hand side corner shot but just enough to smoosh the bumper, but not enough to bend the radiator support. when i got it back from the bodyshop the a/c didnt work but thats because they forgot to plug the a/c compressor in, and the right side headlight plug on the back of the bulb melted and the headlight dimmed. need to get that fixed tomorrow. other than those issues caused by me, the car is fantastic!

[MetroAveo]

3,400 miles on my '08 Aveo, and with the manual tranny I've been getting 35MPG... but after I removed the rear seat to decrease the weight, I got 38MPG! Not bad, but being a former owner of a Geo Metro convertible which regularly pushed 50MPG, I'm still not very impressed. Dang, I miss that car...

[NYChevoo]

wasnt that a 3 cylinder?

[MetroAveo]

Yep, GM's precursor to the Aveo was the legendary Suzuki-built Geo Metro, with the amazing 1.0 3 cylinder SOHC that got hybrid gas mileage. It was truly an under-appreciated car in its time, but now they are going for sky-high prices on eBay. I had a 1991 convertible version, which was the most fun on four wheels ever. The engine actually delivered considerable pep, mostly because of the extreme light weight of the car, just under 1,700 pounds. Unfortunately I totaled it a couple months ago, and now I have my Aveo, which really takes off where the metro left off, except for the mileage.

I got an 04 and im at 142000km

[nonmouse]

My '04 that I just purchased this year has 96300 miles on it. No problems as of now, I do need to replace my 02 sensors, standard stuff though. I don't think the previous owner did any maintenance on the thing, the air filter box has rusted shut screws on it.
