Areas for improvement: Poor brakes / paintwork
I have the 5 speed model, and car is hard to put in reverse, but that's because of the type of transmission it is.Interior upholstery on side of door had to reattached at only 23000 miles.New hub caps at 26000 miles, because paint chipped off of them.Paint on the car is cheap, I've waxed and buffed mine several times, it's a high maintenance paint job.
I do mostly motorway driving on the car, I now have 40K miles on the car and its belts started squeaking around 37K miles. I have done research on this also, one customer had a pulley and serpentine belt replaced before 50k several others had timing belts. It is recommended that you change timing belt every 60k miles.
Car does not handle good, it also has poor braking. Moves side to side a lot on he highway when windy. Doesn't handle well at speeds above 80 miles per hour.
The running costs for Chevrolet Aveo 1.6 DOHC Manual are normal
