Value for money in its segment

 

Hi All,

Well, it is a known fact Aveo gives a low mileage compared to its Peers. However, I believe it is not that low as I heard Dzire gives around 12km/ltr in the city whereas Aveo stands at 9.5km/ltr to 11km/Ltr depending on the way one drives the car.

I am a very recent owner of this car, got the delivery in the month of April 2011 and paid around Rs 5.90 lac on road + Rs 17K for 3 years maintenance. I had made thorough search on the facts of this car and knew it gives low mileage however, I had following factors which attracted me to this car:
Interiors – Excellent in its segment. In fact I would say compare it with any car in its segment it will beat it.
Driving – Of course this is not a driver’s car (as it is higher ride height compared to lower ride height Zen) however it gives you a feel of comfort, better grip on road, insulated cabin (cuts you off from traffic noise) and luxurious driving.
Exteriors – Exteriors are better than Swift Dzire, Accent (pretty old for the roads now), Verito, Indigo etc. However, I would not say it can really beat Etios in looks, though some might have different opinion.
Low Maintenance – Even though I have bought 3 years maintenance pack I heard from my friend (he bought this car 2 years ago) the maintenance cost is very low.
All of the above is my personal experience and I believe if anybody who wishes to buy this car should not have Fuel efficiency, Peppy engine, Pick up and lower height ride as the priority. The best way to invest your hard earned money on the car is take a test drive, make best use of internet and check owner’s experience.

Final Words This is a good buy in case one wishes to have luxurious feel of high end sedans. I would rate it 3 and half Star.

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency and Pick up.

Thanks.
