The Boss in this segment... Go For It !!!

We were searching and researching for the past 1.5 years, test driving nearly 20 different cars, in our hunt for a mid sized sedan. Then came the surprise package from Aveo last quarter, which is Aveo 1.4 LT with ABS.

After test driving the same, we decided to go for it last month. We have already done about 1500 KMs in this short period, including two long drives. The car is clocking an average mileage of 11.5 KMPL in city (with A/C) and about 17 KMPL (on highway). This is impressive considering the large size and heavy nature of the car. Full marks to the interiors, which truly gives the feeling of a rich sedan. We have touched a max speed of 150 KMPH and car feels very stable even at that speed. The large tyres provide superior stability even negotiating acute curves at high speeds. Effective ABS makes you a confident driver even at high speeds.

The only snag we see is the suspension, which is way too smooth for Indian roads (especially bangalore where they prop up without even been painted for identification in nights). Because of this, the under chassis has taken significant number of hits in the last one month. The other issue we faced is the one time not so professional experience we went through with the dealer

We feel justified choosing an Aveo after this long a research, and have named it 'The Boss', true to its majesty, style, performance and comfort. We heartfully say, Go For It.

Stay Tuned !!! We will provide updates every 1000 KMs, which we target to complete every month

This is an update following a 1600 KM run done over 5 days, combining Christmas and New Year Holidays, with family. We managed to touch a max speed of 160 KMPH and believe me, the vehicle felt solid and stable. Mileage on the highway was pretty impressive ranging from 14.5 KMPL to 18.5 KMPL. In all we have done 4000 KMS within a short period of little over 2 months. Till date the going is good and we will repeat the same caption... boss in the segment - go for it

Sorry pals... missed updating for sometime now. I have already clocked 8500 KMS since last update. About 3500 KMs of this was done in the month of May only through three long drives. Till now the only problem I have faced is with A/C failing couple of times. However, when the second time it failed, Kropex (service station in Bangalore) changed the blower assembly against warranty. Subsequently, it is cool!!! From the 160 KMPH reported last time, I could scale upto 170 KMPH during one of the drives this time. The car felt very stable and induced confidence to continue at that speed. Also, effectiveness of ABS braking adds to the confidence. Once again, boss in the segment

Hey... we have finally completed one year and 12000 KMs. Vehicle has gone for three scheduled services till now. We have thoroughly enjoyed the first year of association and look forward to a long association with the vehicle. After this long... a more realistic and stable mileage I can state is about 10.5 to 11 KMPL in city conditions and 14 to 15 in highways. Go for it...

 

After a long association of 3.75 years and 50000 Kms, we finally bid adieu to our Aveo. It really was a good machine and had given us comfortable & safe drive around all these years.

The resale value for Chevrolet vehicles seem to be pretty low in the market. However, considering the lower capital investment made at the time of purchase, the difference in resale value gets compensated.

Otherwise, we have handed over our boss to another safe hand. I am sure the new owner will continue to have a wonderful time with this fantastic machine.
