2008 Chevy Aveo (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Good afternoon /c/cars.

I'm looking to get my first car and I want to get some opinions. I'm thinking of buying a 2008 Chevy Aveo with safety certificate and the price is $2500 CAD. I'm interested to see what you all have to say about this particular vehicle, if you have any personal experience with it or any gripes.

Any help is appreciated

Thank you

I remember test driving a bunch of new cheap cars in 2009. I felt like the Aveo was the worst one. I ended up with a Ford Focus of that generation, if that helps. The Focus was great for me until I traded it in a couple of years ago. It was still running great.

I would say don't get a newer Focus with the dual clutch transmission, get a manual if you can.
