I was looking to buy my first car and did extensive research on the available hatchbacks. I narrowed it doen to the getz, i10 and u-va. The U-va has always impressed me with its looks and trumped the other cars in the test drive. Swift was not an option for me as I'm 6'2' and its very cramped within.
Finally got delivery of the U-VA Cashmere colour about 17 days back. I've driven about 300 kms and here are my thoughts:
Solid build quality - one feels reassured while in it as opposed to the 'tinny' feel of the hyundai's and marutis
Space - Ample space for 5 large adults; good use of cubby holes and storage compartments; boot is decent and not huge
Performance - Great maneouverability and the steering and gear shifts are very responsive. Once can drive in 3rd till 20kmph and on 2nd till almost standstill - great for city traffic - less gear changes required. The AC cools really quickly but it does have a subtle impact on the power. I've read a lot of reviews that say the u-va is low on power - I think its more than adequate for a city car. It may not be as peppy as the swift/i10 but it doesn't hamper driveability in any way. The car handles itself on the road beautifully. Excellent suspension - can hardly feel the bumps/holes in the road and extremely silent within the car. The steering is intuitive and the gear shift is smotth (unlike many reviews i've read). Fuel economy is supposed to be around 14kmpl, I can see mine giving 10-11(with AC), but its supposed to improve after the first service.
I have no hesitation in recommending this car to anyone. It does elicit a lot of wow! looks on the road as there aren't so many around. Overall, great value for money. For 5 lacs got the LS variant + music system+ insurance free+remote locking security system.
My U-VA has totally met my expectations. Don't hesitate/ dither if you like this car, go get it. GO U-VA!!!

This review might be helpful for guys like me who are confused to buy U-VA and Getz 1.1.
Getz 1.1 - Smoother Gear shifts but poor pick up. (In Second gear the car took its own time to accelerate inspite of accelerator pressed fully). I am scared wether it will make up any hilly rides...
U-VA - Not so smooth Gear shifts but OK. Pick up is better than Getz 1.1 sufficient for good ride.....(Gives me better confidence on engine) ...
I have a big question mark on after sales support & resale value on GM cars where Hyundai cars are considered better than U-VA...So Getz and U-VA owners - Please help me in chossing one of them.. Decision is still on hold - which one to go!

Exterior Nice curves. Good look.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Only thing about space. It realy not comfort for 4+1 seaters. GM Can increse the interior space by decreasing boot space.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is smooth and noise less. Performance wise it is very good. Fuel economy is 16.7KM. Gear box goes hard over a period. Recently i traveled (Self drive) from salem-maduri-Tuticorin-Devakoti-Trichy-villupuram-salem, Around 1342Km. I filled tank at salem and again i re-filed the tank at Trichy. Exciting performance for the given cost(4.2L when i purchased on Jan 2009). All you need to do is 'Regular service'.
Ride Quality & Handling Good control on long drive. Easy to handle even in tough local roads. Comfortable ground clearance. Spare parts availability is poor. EVen authorised GM service provider does not have basic spare parts such as Mirrors, Fuel tank lid etc.
Final Words Overall performance is very good.
Areas of improvement Spare parts should be available in time.
Very good value for money.Less spacious for rear seatersइक्सटीरियर/स्टाइल्स

Exterior Car outside looks are very good.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) One of the most common comments received are that U-VA is very spacious compared to all hatchbacks in this price region. Three people can sit comfortably (shoulder to shoulder) in back seat. Boot space is also good and better than most hatchbacks. Interior is very good and fabric design to door interior looks elegant.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Vehicle acceleration is low at lower speeds but as soon as 50Kmph is achieved pick up is very good. Relatively low acceleration at low speeds is sometimes annoying especially during overtaking. U-VA gear box is smoothest. I get fuel mileage of 13.5Kmpl with A.C on in city ride.
Ride Quality & Handling Simply Superb.
Final Words Best car to buy in this price region.
Areas of improvement I bought U-VA in Mar 2009 and I had no complaints till this date. One of the issues I en-countered is that company fitted car tyres (good year make) wore out after driving just 20,000kms. As tyres are worn out, rear seat passengers used to experience strange sound from car back during ride at high speeds (>65Kmph). It took me sometime to understand the problem and I changed types to MRF, now I feel car as good as new one!.
Excellent stability at high speeds, smooth rideSome of the company fitted accessories are of poor qualityइक्सटीरियर/स्टाइल्स

The car's exterior appeals to people with unique taste for class and time-enduring looks.
Beige interiors cater to the eyes in addition to the tangible luxury offered by the car. Storage facilities are fair enough to accommodate all normal travel requirements. Space is commendable - accommodates 5 adults easily (irrespective of size). The car does complete justice to its occupants when it comes to comfort.
The U-VA's 1.2 Lt. engine's roar and power is well experienced, more during free and smooth highway-rides than during local rides. Fuel economy - especially for within-city rides is very low compared to the car's competitors in its class. Gear-shifting is difficult at times and embarrasses the driver while negotiating roads packed with heavy traffic. But it does not count as a major issue.
The ride quality and maneuverability of the car is good.
As I do not use the car for more than 20 Kms per day on an average my concerns for mileage is limited. All that I looked for in my new car was that it should be within 5 Lacs, and that it should be an easy to clean and maintain hatchback, and that it should easily accommodate 5 adults, and last but not the least, that it should have classy looks that would endure for at least the next 10 years. GM Chevrolet Aveo U-VA's LS version perfectly fitted into my expectations, and here I'm a satisfied owner of the same.
If GM would improve the mileage and engine power of the car I'm sure it would interest a broader spectrum of car buyers.

I bought the Chevy U-VA 10 days ago and my experience so far is excellent. I had an exteem earlier which was maintained very well, but I never enjoyed driving it. But this one is moves like a butterfly... virtually noiseless!
I customized it to beige interiors and paid a good bit for it.. but its worth every penny. The resulting black car with butterscotch interiors is simply outstanding. I do have a bit of a trouble with my seat belt clamps and one of the rear doors, but it can be fixed, I presume.
Except for the pick up which has a clear lag, everything is fabulous in the U-VA. I would say, its a product of a company which has enormous trust in its capability - I mean the 3 year guarantee of maximum maintainence that one one would incur on the vehicle. Why can't any other manufacturer offer the same!
I would strongly recommend this car in its category since is complete value for money compared to the Swift or even a Getz. Though, Getz is far superior when it comes to the pick-up.. but thats it...!
My dealer, so far has been good, hope he provides the same level of service in the future to come.
Fuel Economy is excellent at around 16-18 per litre.Pick is a bit of an issueइक्सटीरियर/स्टाइल्स

Chevrolet UVA is car built with style and space in mind.
The looks are great and you have ample space inside.
The siting comfort is better than most of the cars and certanly better than all the cars in this price range. The car looks expensive and many of my friends could not beleive it costed me only Rs.4.75 Lacs on road. In fact some of my vriends who hv bought cars recentky did not tery UVA , thinking that it would be expensive !
We bought the car 15 days ago and Ihv tried within city as well as on the highways.
I have done about 1000 KM and me and my family memebers are very much satisfied with it. Three members can be conveniently be seated in the rear and in the front it is luxurty for two. You do not feel the bumps on the road, due to good suspension system.
When you drive, you feel you are driving a big car. One of my friends who saw my car said it looks like a mini Innova !
I find the gear shift a little tough but may be due to newness.
I am happy that I chose UVA !

Exterior
Very Good Exteriors
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Excellent no need of improvement in this area. It feels like sedan.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Overall Engine is good but more power is required. I think they should have brought a 1.4L Engine instead of 1.2L. Fuel Economy on the hiways is excellent (approx 17km/L)
Ride Quality & Handling
Excellent
Final Words
I am driving this car from past 2 1/2 years (approx), overall it has been a good experience.
The after sales services are not good, just an average performance by the service people, it does not seems to be GM services, may be they have customized their services for Indians ;)
Good for family but Guys who like speed please avoid.
It's very specious in side. Especially leg room for rear seat passenger is very good. The car is very smooth ,in 5th gear even at the speed of 30 it doesnot knock. The well balanced body , the traction in tyres, the adjustable steering ,the speed is simply superb.One can drive in congested streets with ease without much shifting of gears Cabin is very silent , no vibrations. It's suspensions are very impressive hence no rattling sound of body parts / fiber parts inside the cabin.
Areas of improvement
Increase the Tyre radius and more power in CAR
AND Services ofcourse!
Well thought Interiors and Safety, comfortable ridePickup and Suspensions are too soft

Exterior I'VE PURCHASED AVEO UVA IN JAN, 2010. I'M REALLY SATISFIED WITH THIS CAR. ITS A SELF DRIVEN CAR.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) INTERIOR OF UVA IS EXTREMELY SPACIOUS,, VERY GOOD QUALITY--BEIGE INTERIOR--SEATS ARE COMFORTABLE TOO..AC IS VERY POWERFUL..BT ONE THING IS VERY PROBLEMATIC--ITS INTERIOR COLOUR WHICH IS BEIGE--WHILE DRIVING ,,I SEE THE SHADOW OF DASHBOARD ON THE WINDSCREEN WHICH HAMPERS DRIVING A LITTLE BIT.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox ENGINE PERFORMANCE IS GOOD. BT SO FAR AS FUEL ECONOMY IS CONCERNED, ITS NOT VERY SATISFYING..GIVING ONLI 11.5KM/L WHICH IS NOT SATISFACTORY. REGARDING GEAR BOX SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR SOMETIMES ARE PROBLEMATIC.
Ride Quality & Handling GOOD. RIDE QUALITY IS REALLY GOOD.
Final Words FINALLY AVEO UVA IS A VERY GOOD, SPACIOUS HATCHBACK AND IT'S SUITABLE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T COMPROMISE WITH THE QUALITY.
Areas of improvement MAIN AREA OF IMPROVEMENT, AS PER MY VIEW, SHOULD BE ITS MILAGE. ANOTHER ONE IS COLOUR OF THE INTERIOR IT'S BEIGE COLOURED NOW THERE IS A PROBLEM DURING DRIVING,, AS I SEE THE SHADOW OF DASHBOARD ON THE WINDSCREEN WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING. THE INTERIOR COLOUR SHOULD BE CORRECTED.
