Used Chevrolet Aveo for Sale in San Diego, CA

The Aveo is the smallest car that Chevrolet makes. I bought it used, but had it professionally inspected before purchase. It was determined that it had previously been in an accident. But it was mechanically sound, so I considered it a good purchase based on condition and relatively low miles. It was average looking, nothing flashy. From a positive standpoint, the first year it required only some minor repairs and basic maintenance. It did save more money than some other cars I owned. I drove it from one side of the country to another for a move, and there were zero issues. After over 3,500 miles driving it seemed to have used no oil, which was still clear. I also like that because of its size, parking was easier to find. I didn't like how cramped it was. Being a liftback, it also had ... (more)

Story

The manufacturer specifications stated a very specific weight limit in pounds, which I no longer remember exactly. It wasn't that much after subtracting passenger weight. My daughter and I packed a lot in that little Aveo to move cross-country. She, in fact, rode with her legs on top of stuff 3,400 miles (counting side trips). I was very worried about buying meals, that the little extra weight... (more)

Pros

It got decent miles per gallon. It required little maintenance the first year. It was exceptionally good on oil consumption. The monthly payments were relatively low. It was reliable overall.

Cons

It did not accelerate well at all. It was very cramped with little leg room. Struts and shocks wore out sooner than I would expect, and were pricey. Replacement parts were relatively costly. They only provided one computer key at sale, and the extra was very expensive.

2010 Chevrolet Aveo - A nice, reliable car.

The Chevrolet Aveo is a nice reliable car. It gets excellent gas mileage, last time I checked I got 30 miles to the gallon. It does not have a lot of bells and whistles, however. The windows are manually operated and it doesn't have automatic locks. It's also a tiny bit sluggish when you were trying to speed up. It is a reliable car though, and I have not had to pay a lot for maintenance.

Story

I took some friends to the beach in my car, and I found that the car handled very well around the curvy road so we had to take getting to the beach. There was plenty of trunk space in my car, and I loved how I could fit a giant cooler and a basket of food in there.

Pros

It's a very low maintenance car that gets excellent gas mileage.

Cons

It does not have any bells and whistles. If you want to lock your car, do you have to do it manually. There's no buttons to roll down the windows, you have to crank the window down yourself.
