Used 2008 Chevrolet Aveo for Sale

Although this vehicle has been great, there are a few issues that have come about over the few years that we have owned it. One major issue was having to replace front-wheel bearings right after we took ownership. This maintenance cost us around the 600 dollars including labor, parts, and tools. After replacing this, we had the vehicle aligned only to find out that the rear-wheel bushings needed to be replaced, which cost another three hundred dollars. We picked up the car and drove it for a few months only to notice the rear passenger side wheel was being eaten on the inside. We took the vehicle back and had it aligned once more and are hoping that solved our issue. Another con is that because it sits low to the ground, changing oil or other maintenance that requires work underneath are very difficult and pretty much requires a set of ramps to allow enough clearance. The exhaust system has also broken and had to be fixed. The vehicle is small, which is positive in some aspects, but there is very little leg room in the back, and the trunk is practically nonexistent and can make carpooling uncomfortable. It is also very frustrating that the passenger side headlight burns out yearly due to the running lights that are always on while driving.

Feature availability. No standard air conditioning! No power locks and windows! Come on, now, Chevy! This is the 21st century! Cargo capacity. There is less than one foot between the back seat and the hatch -- nearly defeats the purpose of even having a hatchback! Front seat support and comfort. My right knee hit the center console. It was impossible for me to find a comfortable driving position with my particular body type. Quietness. When I drove the Aveo, it sounded and felt similar to an 8 or 10 year old car with a poorly replaced windshield! Creaks and rattles, air noises, etc. Materials and workmanship. The interior seemed cheap at the expense of functionality.
