Overall, I think the Aveo is a nice little car. It's head-on competitor for 2004 was the Toyota Echo, which, in my mind, was a little turd visually by comparison. The Aveo provides decent throttle feedback for its small engine displacement and brings in great fuel economy. The build quality is above average, but the materials are lacking slightly. The dash and interior plastics are similar to other GMs of that era, lots of hard grey plastic. The good news about the interior is that for a stock radio package, the four-speaker Mp3 CD player puts out a good level of sound quality. The Aveo looks good, well rounded and offers a solid, quiet ride. The only two squabbles I have with the Aveo are handling and one comfort feature. When pushed into a corner, it feels awfully top heavy due to it... (more)
Story
I was driving to work and I was able to split lanes with this car. I was driving so fast and the world was spinning around. I took the other cars by surprise. I flew from lane to lane without hesitation. The car really handled to the max of what I was looking for.
Pros
Hip. Fun. Economical. Cargo capacity.
Cons
No cruise control in 2004. Opt for 2006+. Top heavy handling in corners.

I have loved this car since the day that I purchased it. The gas mileage does very well and it is my town car to run the most miles on when I need it. The hatchback helps with shopping or when I'm fitting my surfboard in there for a beach weekend. The only complaint I would have is the small wheel base and small wheels make the car an easily stuck car when in mud or sand. The good side to this is that the car is so small so it's easy to get out of a stuck position. The paint job is very good because I have another car that has been hit by the constant Hawaiian sun and the paint is faded and peeling in spots. Overall I am very pleased with this vehicle and would definitely buy it again.
Story
I went to the beach in Honolulu and we were down at the surf beach and I had parked too far over on the side of the pavement. Both of my back wheels got stuck in the sand and only one was spinning so I was confused. I later learned that it was because of the way the tires turn. Anyways I had about ten people come over and helped me push the car out of the sand and I was laughing about how easy... (more)
Pros
It gets great gas mileage and parts for the Aveo are very cheap making it easy to afford on a tight budget. The hatchback gives the car a lot of character because everything can fit in easy and without going over the seats and through a small door. The paint job is very well done and has no faded spots or peeling.
Cons
Small wheel base and small wheels makes it easy to get stuck in the sand or the mud. The air conditioner does not work but if filled with Freon it will work for a few months.
