Chevrolet Aveo U-VA [2006-2012] User Reviews

I own Aveo U-VA 1.2 LT  for last one year. I am quite happy with the performance of my car. Probably a best car in this class. Engine is noise free.  Ride is very comfortable. No bumpy ride for rear seat passengers. I am getting 13-14  in city with AC and 17-19 on highway.  I have driven 15K in one year with 3 long trips, abosutly no problems.   

After sales service is good,  Little bit more professionalisam will bring in better perspective.

Driver seat height adjustment is necessary, First 2-3 months gear shift was bit knotchy, but after first service it is fine. Price is little higher, but gets compensated with low maintainace and fuel efficiency.   

Hope it will help new buyers

About 7 months with this car I have a few more things to add on to what ever is written by me earlier. I am very happy to have opted for this car. The quality of drive, comfort & pleasure is comparable to none in this segment. It feels like a big car and UVA is ,definitely very big on space inside and this makes it stand out from Getz or Swift. Surprisingly even the boot is also very spacious. There was a minor adjustment with the A/C that was required and the service station downloaded a new software for the same, after which the cooling has become better and even the average of the car has increased. The fuel economy of the car has settled down to around 12 KM/Lit which in my opinion is good considering Mumbai traffic. The initial problem that I had with gear is no longer and issue now and gear shift is very smooth. So far there has been no maintenance issues. Anyone looking to buy a hatch back should definitely have a look at UVA. I think it scores over the rest and though might look a bit costly, will be a very good buy and prove value for money in long run.

It has been 2 months that I got my new UVA- LT. Overall the experience has been strictly OK. There are a lot of creases that Chevrolet need to iron to make this a good car.

Exterior Had Bought this car for its external look. I still love the design of my U-VA as compared to others in this segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ineriors are good and the selling point of this car was its space and it has lived to its expectation. Very comfortable even on bumpy roads. I have never seen it to knock at a speed of 30 kmph even on 4-5th gear.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good(even after driving it for 30,000 Km). Very stable at 140 km/hr with 5 people in the car. It just sticks to the ground while driving. I have just returned from Dhanulti in Uttarakhand, with my 5 friends, none of us compalined of tiredness or space. Ride quality is just excellent as compared to I20 or Ford Figo. Highways the economy is around 15-16 and in city it gives me 13 with AC in summers. Gear box is cause of concern which needs to be rectified. Each time i visit the service station I need to get it rectified.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling and Ride quality is excellent. Very Stable car even on high speed provided you have balanced the weight. The shockers are the best in class. I have driven i20, figo, swift. None of their shockers are as good as U-VA.

Final Words Over all very good car and i am completly satisfied with it. I wish GM would have spent some money in promoting this car as compared to its other car(beat).

Areas of improvement Gear Box Needs to be looked urgently as it is annoying while driving in city. Side Rails to reduced in width.
