    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

     

    Exterior Excellent.

     

    Interior Excellent.

     

    Features Excellent.

     

    Space Less than Manza & Fiesta, but equal to Dzire.

     

    Comfert Excellent.

     

    Engine Performance Cant say much about performance because i bought it a month back & covered only 3000 km, But till date it is very good.

     

    Fuel Economy Now this is something surprizing but excellent, because 1400cc, 1.4 ltr engine car in CNG version is giving milage @1.21 paise/km without AC & with AC 1.55 paise/km, in Petrol 11-12 km/Ltr.

     

    Gearbox: it feels Little tight during some 100's kms but u'll get used to it.

     

    Ride Quality & Handling: Very Good.

     

    Final Words Being an engineer I hv gone through detailed analysis & search of six months before buying this car, as i wanted to give my money its value. My car is CNG version & it comes only in baisc model, I feel every car is good in itself bcoz no manufacturer want to make bad product, Performance of car depends how u drive & how u care about your vechicle. You may find a 20yr old Fiat or Maruti car in very good condition & a brand new Audi or BMW in a very bad condition. Buying a car variably depends  individually, some buy on interiors, some on exterior, some on milage, some only on aftersales service, But if you want everything in a car between 6-7 lac then go for it.

    CNG version costs me 7 LAC & Till now after 3000km it took less than Rs.4000/- from my pocket, belive me. It requires atleast 6 ltr petrol in its tank to get start, this car is not designed for very fast drivers. If you are a simple sober family person then this car & you are made for each other.   Also most impressive is No other company fitted CNG car is having 1 Lac km or 3Yrs warrenty. Pickup in CNG is very good but just little less then petrol. Dont think about Petrol if you are from middle class family.

     Lots of ppls asks me about resale value, now u judge me if i am wrong. After covering 1 lac km @ 1.21/km or say 1.50pasie/km, u will spend Rs.1.5 lacs on 1 lac km, if campare it with petrol on 1 lac km u will spend approx Rs.4 lacs (Rs.4/km) , so the difference of Rs.3 lac will be my saving in expectation of resale value.

     

    Areas of improvement 1) Left knee always touches the dashboard curve no matter how u adjust your seat but it will touch your left knee, it should be improved.

    2)  Right now m not facing any problem but i feel Chevy should have more service stations & workshops if they really want to comptete the rivals, coz this is a better car in all respect except aftersales service & it meant alot to me also.

     

    Verdict Now would u like to drive an Aveo which is luxurious, comfertable, 1400 cc, i.4ltr engine, with all power windows, tilt stearing, hight adjustable seat with great interior & exterior @ 1.20 - 1.50 paise/km. what more u need now.

     

    Comfert, status symbol, luxury, international brand, good milage, real value for moneyIt is the only car which have little less space for its driver
