செவ்ரோலெ ஏவியோ [2006-2009] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

 

Exterior Very stylish. Luxury sedan at very good price. Muscular looks. Chrome front grill. Wider tyres..few years back when i saw this car,,i thought its price ll be near 10 lakhs.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Too good for the price, quality of plastic, interior, driving comfrt. best. once more am telling for the price.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Upto the mark. am satisfied, but dont expect too much. for decent driving it is a good car. am getting 17 km/lt on hw. with 50% ac. for sedan its very good miliage. I have covered 1200 km. going for first service.

Ride Quality & Handling Good but not the best may be becuz my  car is LS model with lack of abs.

Final Word Over all value for money. The frontline dealer of udupi with team shiv prasad, anup, rakesh and all are best. am very very satsfied with thier work. Thanks once again..plz donot compare with fiesta honda city.or verna they all come at higher segment. You can compare with manza indigo or accent.

I bought this car after a lot of research and reviews and bit of feedback from various websites and also from carwale.

The car is a value for money it this segment, with the standard fitments and also the discounts offered.

The car is great when you are single or two sitting, with full load of people and ac on the pick drops substainially. This is not so in the 1.6 which i had test driven.

Till now i have driven it for only 500 km so not much on other issues as os now. But i can say that it is a very comfortable car in any road conditions.

One thing i could miss here was the interior space utilisation which has lot of blank spaces and the door pockets are so small that only 4-5 magazines can go in.

The top of the dashboard in this model is empty but of not use, this space is used for airbag in the higher models. So the company could have used that to create more dash space.

The space utilisation is great in the ford fiesta, with space to keep a lot of nick-nacks.

I wil  try to add to this as i drive my car more.

---------------
Now i have driven the car for almost 2000 km, the more i drive it the more i like the car.

Its almost 10 months now, Till now no problems faced.
One thing is that at low rpm's the car is sluggish.

Great Style, ComfortPick up, Interior space utilisation

Bought an Aveo 1.4 LS limited edition on 20th  March 2008, done 600km, engine is g8, gear shift is notchy. But ultimate in comfort and driveability particularly on express highways, touched 130 km/h with engine rev at 2500 rpm. You dont feel the speed till u look at the meters. Could have provided a better stereo system and the headlights.

Done 450km on expressway and 150 on city roads. Combined fuel efficiency is about 13 km, should improve after 1st service.

Left knee hits the AC controls and could have better utilized the dashboard in the absence of airbags.

sleek & sexy looks, plus interiors, leather upholsteryunder utilized dash board space, stereo quality doesn't match the car, left knee hits the AC control

Aveo 1.4 Base model (now driven 9000kms in Bangalore and highways)-

what I liked, off course, were the looks, interiors and the smooth and silent drive which all other reviews also do mention. Fuel is 11.5 without A/C and 10 with A/C in bangalore.

And Here is what I am not enjoying. 

(GMs team did a checkup and informed we that everything is as it was meant to be. Hence - The feelings are entirely my own.)

1. very sluggish pickup - can easily get licked by any othe car of similar range or lower. Performance is poorer on even slight climbs.

2. Poor A/C.
While I have been told it takes upto 30 mins to cool - I have driven 6 hrs at a stretch on highways and even then did not find it satisfactory - (Bangalore - Coorg).

3. Hard steering. Feels very hard to turn.

4. Very poor service network. No on road service, poor availability of parts.

Only one service point in the heart of city (20km), cannot even take a test drive. for body and chassis related work have to go to another depot 10+ km away. Dates for service given after 3 weeks. Saturday 1/2 day not open on Sunday. No on road service . (I was stuck after hitting a divider and wanted a make shift job - the only response was that the vehicle will have to be towed & Rs1600 to be paid in advance - I eventually drove down the car in that state). The spare was not available and would take minimum 5 days to procure. If on opening some further spares are required - ?

5. Poor headlight strength - I am informed this is standard. I am finding is inconvenient and worse when taking turns

Hi all,

i am joining you all as a prod owner of Chevvy Aveo. This is my first car as i ve just graduated and my first big expense. i was to buy a new car only and was stuck on Accent.

Just by chance one day i was a bit free and right next to my office was this chevvy showroom, i went there just to have a look, and not a serious customer. but the moment i opened the door of Aveo and had a look at it, i made up my mind. UVA even Optra and captiva looked pale in comparison to the looks of Aveo.

I cant even think about accent since i ve seen this damsel. thereafter i asked the guys in showroom, that i ll get bak to them in a day (next day bieng sunday) as i cudnt buy th car bieng saturday and some superstitions.

by the time i cud have got back to them, i got an offer for 2007 model 1.4, the speedo dial is a bit dated in that but i thought i got a good deal as the car was very clean and looking like new, even though it was not in dispay, it was bieng used by the owner. the car had alloy wheels, a fairly good blaupunkt audio system and was fairly priced at 4,25,000

i haggled and finally got it for 3,85,000 but have to get it insured which ll cost another 15k and brokerage of 12 k and transfer of papers and all for 7-8 k. so finally the car is costing me 4,20,00 mar 2007 model. (writing review in feb 2009).

so few questions :

1. Did i make a good deal ?

2. is the resale value of this car very low, can i sell it off after an year with max 75000 depreciation.

3. is the deficiency in engine performane and gearshift really noticeable, ( i dint experience ). though i was driving a santro before this so it obviously is a superior car.

4. how far is CNG as a fuel succesful in this car ( This bieng a motive of buying a used machiene so that i dont feel guilty of losing warranty and all, as i ll have to run it on CNG someday as i have a daily running of 200km)

5. what all precautions do i take before making the final payment, the car is registerd in Haryana and i need it to be transfered to UP bieng my residence.

 

P.S.  I have been searching and researching a lot about this car for several hours each day, and found out that this is a dark horse and an example of poorly marketted good product.

 

 

Looks, interior and exteriors as well. a bit exclusive car on roadheard about bad mileage and notchy gearshift

I’m a person who likes to cruise through even though I might hit the accelerator some time and the Chevy Aveo is the right choice for me. It’s a sturdy car with good sharp looks and excellent interiors (I would say best in its class). The car is quite stable at high speeds and have good control, the suspensions works really good on bumpy roads, the VGIS features takes the car in 20 and 30Km/hr on the 5th gear which works well for city drive.

 

The mileage is quite ok for me, it gives me 12-13 Km/l on City drive and 15-16km/l on Highway. You all agree that the mileage depends upon the way we drive (if you think you are Lewis Hamilton, then you will burn your wallet).

 

The indicator and sunshield wiper is just opposite to the other Indian cars and I got confused for some time and now its ok, also the reverse gear.

 

Its a good car to own and the features the Limited Edition provides with the price, you cannot think of any other cars in that segment which gives so much features with this price

 

I love my Chevy Aveo.

Good Looks, Excellent interiors, value for money..Nothing much...

Hi, i bought an Aveo1.4LS Limited Edition, with out knowing any thing about the car i booked this car by its brand name, and then i was worried about its performance, i had choosen Ivory Gold, its an eye catching colour, very stylish and Royal look, now i don't regret owning this car, i am enjoying driving it even on the village roads its so comfortable. the interiors are good, i was not happy with the in built music system as it has no remote, and the mileage is approx 13kmpl. how ever when you had spend so much money to buy a car that really does't matter of mileage

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.

Interiors, Low Maintenance , Value for MoneyFuel Efficiency

 

Exterior GOOD BUMPY AND HEAVY FACE LOOKS REALLY ATTARCT THE EYES AND STICKS AT IT.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) NOW THIS IS THE EXAM WHERE IT HAS FULL MARKS FOR ITS CLASS AND MONEY RANGE WHERE I FEEL IT IS THE BEST HOWEVER SOME OF THE FEATURES COULD MAKE IT A BIT BETTER WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF AS IT SEEMS TO BE VACCANT SPACE WHEN LIGHTS REMAINS OFF SO SLIGHT EFFORTS NEEDS TO BE PUT IN THIS AREA. ULTIMATE SPACE AND INTERIORS GIVES A NICE FEELING OF SECURITY AND COMFORT.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I HAVENT PAID MUCH IN HANDLING THIS CAR WITH A PERIOD OF 4 YRS ALTHOUGH MY DRIVE IS NOT TOO MUCH BUT STILL I KNEW THAT ENGINWE PERFORMANCE WITH LEAST EXPENDITURE IS WITH AVEO. FUEL ECONOMY IS ALSO OK AS IN THIS RANGE AVERAGE OF 13 OR 14 IS ACCEPTABLE. GEAR BOX IS NOTCHY AND NOT THAT MUCH SMOOTH WHICH IT SHOULD BE.

 

Ride Quality & Handling AGAIN ITS A PAASED EXAM FOR AVEO1.4 I DROVE MY MAX SPEED OF 175KM/HR AND HANDLING WAS ULTIMATE NO DOUBTS OF SKID, NO DOUBT FOR DISBALANCING NO PROB RIDE HOWEVER I FEEL THAT STEERING NEEDS TO BE MUCH SMOOTHER THAN WHAT IS BEEN OFFRED REST IS GOOD. BETTER. AND BEST IN THESE CONCERNS.

 

Final Words I AGREE WITH THE PERFORMANCE AND WOULD SUGGEST THE BUYERS TO PLEASE DO NOT ONLY ACCEPT WHAT IS BEEN ON ROAD FROM PAST 20YRS BUT PLS TRY THIS CHANGE AS AVEO NEEDS SOME HANDS TO GEAR UP IN MARKET AND ONCE YOU OWN IT YOU WILL LOVE IT AND WILL FEEL PROUD ON YOUR DECISION.
