Chevy's Aveo is the Best Car in its Class

 

Exterior Execellent Looks & Curves, Chorme Handles, Alloy Wheels, Rear Spoiler, Fog lights etc. I brought Aveo LT Sanddrift Grey and it has an appealing look. Hope, this colour is the best among other colours although it was not my selection & I had to go for an available stock at dealer’s warehouse so as to avoid delay in delivery.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Luxurious finish, 2 tone (beige & black) colour combination gives a fabulous look. The Plastics used inside are of good quality & the fit & finish is absolutely perfect. The Seats cushions (with leather upholstery) are very soft that doesnt make you tired on long journeys. 2 Din Music System is praiseworthy & the music effect with 6 speakers rocks. But, no option for USB drive that makes little worried. However, this can be managed by using FM transmitter on Cigratte lighter slot. Front & rear leg room & head room are adequate. The glove box in the front dash board is quite small & doesn't have a lock for it. Key cylinder light is an added advantage during night, Tilt steer & driver seat height adjustable option gives a better driving posture. The doors doesnt have provision to hold water bottles. No light provision of light on the centre of the roof, lights are only on the front. Some times, the left leg touches the dash board and causes discomfort. But, it can be managed by just sliding down the seat backwards.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy, Gearbox, Ride Quality & Handling With regards to Engine Performance, it quite meets the expectation. I drove to Pondy from Chennai & it was a pleasure. Very less cabin noise, smooth drive & good acceleration. I touched 130 Kms and the car was very stable. Thought of attaining more speed but as it was a brand new car, I denied myself. The gear shifting was also smooth & the torque is perfectly aligned at each gear levels to give appropriate power. But, the reverse gear is totally annoying as it is kept at far left forward & doesn’t engage easily at various occasions. May be, we need to get used to this kind of reverse gear. Fuel economy was a concern in the city as it gave 8-9 KMPL. On highway, I assume it might have given 13 + KMPL. Contacted service centre & enquired about the mileage. They said it would improve after 1000 Kms.

 

Final Words/ Areas of improvement I shortlisted Aveo after considering Verna, Linea & Fiesta. I whole heartedly say “This Car is really a Value for money”. No regrets at all. I fully recommend this Car & you will relish when you own it. The service at KLN Motors was also pleasing & courteous. Right from the Test drive to delivery, it was excellent.

Chevy’s promise on maintenance is outstanding. I just paid 12 K (after discount) & need not have to worry about any other maintenance cost for next 3 Years. But, Chevy’s marketing about the Car is poor & that’s the reason you don’t see much of them on Roads. It was due to my exhaustive research that I shortlisted this Car & would thank Carwale for setting up such an opportunity.
