This car is very economical with gas. I like that I don't need to fill it up so often as I did before. It's a small car, but comfortable. It is a nice looking little car, reasonably priced. I hope to be able to sell this car in six to nine months and perhaps buy a new car. I am tired of American cars, so I hope to be able to afford a Toyota or Honda. Both of them are great cars with much safety equipment on them. When I bought this car, my previous car just quit running, so I was in a hurry to purchase another car. I did not have a lot of time to look around for the best car for the amount that I could spend at the time. I went to just two car places to look at cars, so not much choice for me. The car has been a pretty reliable car for me - I have had it over four years, and it... (more)
Story
I was driving shortly after buying this car. I was going to a friend's house and when I knocked on her door, she wouldn't answer the door. I called her on my phone and she said, "where are you?" I said at your front door. She is the type of person who doesn't answer her door unless she is positive she knows who it is.
Pros
Great on gas mileage. Cute little car. Comfortable. Nice, yellow-colored car. Will be paid off soon. Nice stereo. Safety features. Fits easily in tight parking spaces. Drives nicely. Nothing complicated on it. Easy to see speedometer. Nice size trunk for small car. Easy to find in parking lot. Handles easy. Comfortable seats.
Cons
Small car. No GPS. Not lot of room for passengers in back seat. Does not hold over four people. No cup holders. Type of headlights that stay on - daytime and nighttime. Need to change headlights often. Repair bill expensive (made in Mexico). Would not have lot of protection in accident. No rear-view camera. No rear-window shades. Not as dependable as a more expensive car. Tires not fashionable. Not a pretty body style. I feel bad talking down my car.

2006 Chevrolet Aveo - This car is nothing special.

I bought this car thinking I was supporting American made for a low sticker price ($12K). I soon learned that the Aveo is really Korean car, a Daewoo with a bowtie. The car may have been assembled in the US, but the design was brought over from Daewoo and 90% of the parts are foreign. It is a decent car to get you from point A to point B. It gets decent gas mileage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. While the car is small, it is very spacious, both in seating areas and in the trunk. This is definitely not a performance car. The tiny 1.4 liter engine means it has no get-up-and-go. Once you get up to speed, it will satisfy your lead foot. I had no issues, mechanically, with the car for the first few years that I owned it.
Story
This car came in handy when going camping with my friends. I could easily put a large cooler in the trunk and surround it with the rest of our camping gear. Because the back seats fold down independently from one another, I could fold the single seat down to make room for our long tent back, while still leaving room for a person to sit back there. This feature also mean that trips to Ikea w... (more)
Pros
This car has ton of space in the front and back seats. It is large enough to comfortably hold four adults. If you have small children, know that my car is the only one out of my group of friends that could hold a rear-facing car seat in the back seat, without requiring the people in the front to move their seats up. The trunk is deceptively large. Despite the small opening, the trunk is very deep and wide. Another plus is that the rear seats fold down, giving even more room for longer items to be transported. The design of the car also leads to very large front and back windows. The... (more)
Cons
The car is not aerodynamic at all. Driving on a windy day will have you fighting to keep it from jerking to one side or another. Another con is that the battery is too small to handle the electrical components, leading to frequent, expensive repairs. Other than normal wear and tear upkeep, every issue I have had with the car has been replacing sensors or computer components that have burned out.
