शेवरले एविओ [2009-2012] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior

The Car has finest exterior and it looks great in all its colors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Stylish interior, especially two tone dashboard with crome cluster at AC vents, spacious, comfort in seating.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Overall ferformance is well. However intial pick up is low. Fuel economy is 11-12 in city, 14-15 on highway, Sometimes difficults for reverse gear shifting

Ride Quality & Handling

I ride this car on hilly area with sharp turing. it has excellent ride experience at these areas with AVEO.

Final Words

I purchase my AVEO 1.4 LT in Nov. 2009 (Limited Edition). AVEO has great look and stylish Car if compared to Verna, SX4, Fiesta. I drive it for 11000 Kms plus, still it runs like new one and till date i did not found any majour trouble. I drive it for 500 kms non stop, even after I feel fresh and comfortable with its seating.

Areas of improvement  

Steering to be electronics rather hydraulics, Reverse gear shift to be more smooth, Rear AC vents to be provided.

It has great interior and exterior, stylish lookSteering is quite vague

Exterior:
beautiful car from the outside right from the paint quality and the different types of colours available and the overall look of the car.
Interior:
in the range this car is i have yet to come across any other which provides such quality interiors and even the overall feel of the cabin and when you sit behind is pleasing. to top it you feel as you are sitting in a top end car. this is for me is extemely important as i stay in mumbai and sometimes(most of the times) you spent hours in traffic its kind of important that you are comfortable.
drive and handling:
the drive is easy and not a pain though i think the gear shifting could have been a tad bit smooth but still the car is responds well. i have been used to a fiat for years now and hence i felt the car was a bit light for its size and needs to be tested at high speeds. but to be fair i like cars to feel sturdy and heavy.
competition:
i was looking for the logan edge connet and swift dzire along wiith this car. though you can never beat the maruti when it comes to maintainability and cost, nobody can beat the logan for space and technology but for sheer driving pleasure and the snob value this is the car.
it is difficult to neglect this car after you test drive.
unsure:
long term cost .
resale value.
FE

though i very much want to buy it, i am still unsure due to majorly the company stability.

drive safe
interiors and looks, comfort level up there with the bestFE is a question mark and ofcourse the resale value

After test driving all cars in this range, I finally decided on AVEO 1.4 LT. Although service by Cheverolet was of concern but their plan looks to improve on sales and service in comming days.

AVEO gives you best in class style, interiors, comfort and value for money. Fuel consumption is also good

Excellent Style, Comfort, Luxry, Value For moneyNone

I have been regular reader of this forum and benefited from fellow car owners' reviews. Hence this writeup.

I got Limited edition of 1.4 LS.

I thought of Accent and Aveo as options in this segment. The difference is cost whcih I worked out to be justifiable  (negotiated with GM dealer). Excellent exterior looks, equally awesome interiors. Also, Accent has lesser ground clearance and also less overall inner space.

Overall milege is 15 KMPL and 16.5 KPML on highways. I am yet to do any servicing and I will post the details once done.

Value for money: 1400 cc, alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, leather upholestry (in built), two din 6 speaker music system (belive me, it's very good)

Cabin is quite noice free and engine too.

Fuel Eco- per expectaions, great looks, Luxury, Value for MoneyPerformance, people envy

I have been looking for a car for about a month now, have tried out SX4, Fiesta, Verna and Aveo. All of them good cars. I finally decided to go with Aveo 1.4 LT.

Reasons.

1. Execellent Interiors, and great looking exteriors. You will not get such interiors in any other car, even in Top end models unless u pay atleast 1L extra. eg: AirBag, Alloy Wheels, Leather seats, Spoiler,  etc.

2. Performance wise I did not see much difference ( how much can you find in a 15 min test drive ), except that this is 1.4L and all others where 1.6L . Please note I am not an expert who can comment on performace.

3. Extended Warranty also is a plus.

4. I am taking the car from Shiva Motors Noida and their sales person has been doing a good job. Verna has the worst response when it comes to sales, they were not even willing to bring the car to my office for test drive and not a single follow up call ( Capital and Nimbus Hyundai, Noida). Ford and Maruti were also good.

Will come back with my experience a few months later when I have driven the car.

 

Execellent Interiors, good and compact look, Improved Gear ShiftNot sure about re-sale Value

 

Bought the car in October 2010 after two months of rigorous research, test drives and secondary research on websites. Wanted to buy a car at under 7 lacs. The contenders:-

Hyundai i20 - Almost bought it (the Petrol Sports version). Decided not to coz fell in love with the Aveo! Also, the AC is pathetic. Just doesn't work in the heat! The engine's just ain't capable enough to pull a car that size.

Ford Fiesta - Loved the drive! However, the interiors feel cheap, the exterior very basic, just not worth the money!

Ford Figo - Cheap feel all over it!

Hyundai Accent - All time favourite. But the interiors are too basic. However, definitely a great value for money vehicle

VW Polo - Waiting period of more than 4 months. Else, a fantastic hatch.

VW Vento - Would've picked it up if it came a lac cheaper.

Fiat Linea - Won hands down in the looks department. However, too slow to maneuver round the city and the T-Jet was way beyond my budget

Maruti SX4 - Looks bulky and ugly at the same time, cheap plastics, bad ride quality... screams Maruti all over

Did not bother to check out the Verna, Manza, Logan, Dezire coz I don't like the way they look and the City/Jazz coz they are way too expensive for their respective segment.

 

Exterior This is where the car scores way above the competition. Every contour, every line of the car has been finished with a distinct finesse.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Two thumbs up for the interiors. Claasy and one segment above is the way I would describe the interiors. Pure leather seats, chrome inserts, beautifully finished dash, quality of plastics everything sets this car apart.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Well, this is where the car is a bit of a letdown. The engine does not exude enough confidence at lower RPMs. However, once you cross the 2000 RPM mark, there is no looking back. The car has enough muscle to do what you intend it to do and if driven well, can give a run for money to the likes of Fiesta as well. However, you always feel a couple of horses missing somewhere!

 

Ride Quality & Handling Handling, though a little hard, is very precise. The hydraulic steering system screams control and confidence at high speeds. Have driven it at a max of 140kmph and it has always been a pleasant experience.

 

Final Words If you're looking at car that takes you from point A to B in style and does not burn a hole in your pocket, look no further than Aveooooooh!

 

Areas of improvement Power at low rpms, dashboard reflection, audio control on steering, only one airbag.

 

Mesmerizing Exteriors, Awesome interiors, Ride qualityNot for speed freaks

Exterior Good style. Everyone feels good as after 100K kilometers , its is still scrachless, accident free vehicle. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) A Very Good Interior except the Biege colour touching the Wind screen internally.  Everything is there. Width is the most important factor os any vehicle. Secondly I found that the seating level is one of the most technically designed level, its one of the best (Only 'Ghost' to lead this level).  Very confortable for all Senior Citizens. A very good grip on roads. Good suspension. Till today no problem for this vehicle. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox A very good Engine performance. I am still getting nearly 16 kms/lit on Highway( 100 to 120 speed) and nearly 11  in city. No knocks yet. Smooth manuvering.

Ride Quality & Handling Very Good.

Final Words A value for Money. Now I am confused to select for my second CAR. (Because I can not compro with quality product to Price factor.) This CAR is a POISON.

Areas of improvement

1. Black colour / any dark colour should touch Wind screen from INSIDE. Interior designer should take care of this.

 2. Raer seats - Extra four inches space will enhance the Comfort level. 

 3. Ground clearance for Indian Roads - extra 20mm will be very fantastic. 

 4. Why not to increse Fuel efficiency. ? Why not Diesel version with CRDI ? 

Good style, Good Fuel Economy, and Trouble free DriveLess spacious for rear seats especially leg room. It should be 4 inches more than existing.

 

Exterior Decent design and neat exterior.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Few features but great space and comfort. overall good interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  Engine Performance is good on pertol and fair on CNG. Unbeliveable 17.68 km/kg(city) and 23.53 km/kg (highway) on cng)😲 and 15.7 km/l (city) and 18.4 (highway).

Ride Quality & Handling Good ride and a pleasure in handling.

Final Words I bought my Aveo cng and have been driving it for over six months and given an option I would again go for it!😊

Areas of improvement Features need to be improved (like fog lights, alloy wheels, steering mounted controls) as only the LS option is available, also 14 kg cylinder should be made available. The inlet for CNG filling should be made through the petrol lid as in Maruti cars as for filling CNG each time you have open the bonnet which looks pretty awkward. Service centres should be increased in Delhi.

Good space and designFew service station

I am getting very poor service from Star Motor Nagpur . Last 6 Months I am facing problem of Light Glow in ABS Sensor and vibration in brake peddler . I have visited several times in Star Motor in Nagpur but every time they informed me that there is no sensor ( ABS Sensor available ) and problem not solved .
