செவ்ரோலெ ஏவியோ [2009-2012] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

 

Bought the car in October 2010 after two months of rigorous research, test drives and secondary research on websites. Wanted to buy a car at under 7 lacs. The contenders:-

Hyundai i20 - Almost bought it (the Petrol Sports version). Decided not to coz fell in love with the Aveo! Also, the AC is pathetic. Just doesn't work in the heat! The engine's just ain't capable enough to pull a car that size.

Ford Fiesta - Loved the drive! However, the interiors feel cheap, the exterior very basic, just not worth the money!

Ford Figo - Cheap feel all over it!

Hyundai Accent - All time favourite. But the interiors are too basic. However, definitely a great value for money vehicle

VW Polo - Waiting period of more than 4 months. Else, a fantastic hatch.

VW Vento - Would've picked it up if it came a lac cheaper.

Fiat Linea - Won hands down in the looks department. However, too slow to maneuver round the city and the T-Jet was way beyond my budget

Maruti SX4 - Looks bulky and ugly at the same time, cheap plastics, bad ride quality... screams Maruti all over

Did not bother to check out the Verna, Manza, Logan, Dezire coz I don't like the way they look and the City/Jazz coz they are way too expensive for their respective segment.

 

Exterior This is where the car scores way above the competition. Every contour, every line of the car has been finished with a distinct finesse.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Two thumbs up for the interiors. Claasy and one segment above is the way I would describe the interiors. Pure leather seats, chrome inserts, beautifully finished dash, quality of plastics everything sets this car apart.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Well, this is where the car is a bit of a letdown. The engine does not exude enough confidence at lower RPMs. However, once you cross the 2000 RPM mark, there is no looking back. The car has enough muscle to do what you intend it to do and if driven well, can give a run for money to the likes of Fiesta as well. However, you always feel a couple of horses missing somewhere!

 

Ride Quality & Handling Handling, though a little hard, is very precise. The hydraulic steering system screams control and confidence at high speeds. Have driven it at a max of 140kmph and it has always been a pleasant experience.

 

Final Words If you're looking at car that takes you from point A to B in style and does not burn a hole in your pocket, look no further than Aveooooooh!

 

Areas of improvement Power at low rpms, dashboard reflection, audio control on steering, only one airbag.

 

Mesmerizing Exteriors, Awesome interiors, Ride qualityNot for speed freaks

 

Exterior Great Looks, Chrome finish is awsome. Love the tail lamps. Got the Spoiler with LT model. Aloy wheels also provided in Aveo LT.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)  Very comfortable, Dash looks cool with Wood finish, Inbuilt Clarion Music system, Great sound, Leather seats, Lot of boot space, Trunk opens with remote and car also has inbuilt security system.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  Very smooth pickup, comfortable gear shift. I only issue is mileage. I am getting 9 to 10 in City and 13-14 on Highway with AC on.

Ride Quality & Handling  Very Comfortable. Even on Bad roads. The seats are low so it is comfortable. The driver seat is provided with hight adjustment feature. Also, airbag for driver. so better safety.

Final Words Great car to buy in this segment. 6.5 L on road with all features. Driven this car above 100KM/h and it is very smooth. No outside noise in the cabin. Love to drive this car.

Areas of improvement Mileage and Better looking music system.

Looks, Features, Leather and wood finishMileage

 

Exterior Simple and good looks, people awe this car as it has majestic looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Class interiors with leather seats and great rear seat space and boot space. Music system is top class and four people can travel comfortably in this.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Dont expect fuel economy for the car of this size, if you want economy go for ALTO, Swift or Hyundai. Engine power is good. Engine is so silent, you dont feel if the car is running or not.

Fuel economy around 10 KMS per litre and it is good for a new car, hope it will continue to pick up mileage in the coming days.

Ride Quality & Handling Good and you dont feel the speed humps much.

Final Words Too early to say, this is the best value for money car for a mid sized sedan. It is a great car to buy for under 7 lakhs. Get a reverse parking sensor as it is a big car. Will need to take this for a long drive before I pass more comments on this car.

Areas of improvement Need passenger airbags.

Leather seats and good build quality, Awesome interior looksBit big for small indian roads.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The Interiors of the car are excellent and you can compare them to even high range models of other cars such as Honda City, Toyota Corolla etc.It certainly gives you a classy feeling and the leg space ,AC ,seating comfort everytjhing is really good.Once all the windows are closed, you would hardly hear any outside noise.  The inbuilt music system will not disapppoint you with 6 speakers it gives you wonderful sound quality with excellent bass.

Some Cons are the music system lacks the usb connectivity which is bit annoying sometimes and the rear seat is not much comfortable for the person sitting in center if you have three persons sitting in the rear seat. Other than these you would not be dissappointed at any aspect of the interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Driven 9000km till date in one year and no problems at all with gearbox or engine.Fuel sconomy is nearly 10.5KMPL in city (Delhi) and 15KMPL on highways.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is excellent and handling is wonderful too.Touched 170KMPH and the car felt really stable and steady. It's really smooth on highways. I would have to say this that the driver's seat is the most comfortable seat and you would love driving the vechile.

Final Words Excellent car .If you are planning to buy a car within 7 Lacs, certainly give it a try and you would not be disappointed

Areas of improvement USB connectivity, Dashboard Reflection, Soft suspension

Comfort,Looks,Space,InteriorsDashboard Reflection in sunlight

 

Exterior Styling is beyond comparison with the dezire, fiesta, logan, SX4 , have test driven all of these before going for Aveo.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Better than the above mentioned vehicles.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I bought the vehicle in October 09, have driven my Chevy for 12000+ km and the average i got was always 12-13.5kpl (average) whether on city roads,hilly terrain(Himachal & Uttarakhand) or National highways.The Kpl seems to improve with the odometer reading i.e after 10000 km it has gone upto 13kpl.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent no complaints,except for the road clearance on higher speed breakers the body kisses the speed breakers and it jolts my heart.

 

Final Words Great vehicle to own below 7 lacs, value for money.

 

Areas of improvement after sales service requires some serious thought.No needs to be increased.The capacitor of my Blower (AC) could not be replaced at one of the dealer because of non availability.

 

Feel good factor,Road Presence,value for moneyroad clearance (the under body kisses the speed breakers),ASS

The Best car ever we purchased It in may 2009 its Black colour Aveo and the Variant is Chevarlet Aveo Limited edition 1.4 CC.

My DAD always says that it's a Sher Car LOL means a Lion Car. Still very Powerful in 2018 also. We jus did A Lil A Lil Makeover of the Car. Oerall our Aveo car is a Beast.

Nice car I love this car Car milage not good but ok ok This car very comfortable for a long way I purchased old car but satisfy this car I don't no why left India Chevrolet I request please come back India

Exterior Excellent , nothing to comment about. the best in the world , it compares to the bmw and the Audi.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dash board litle big which is consuming to much space in the front. leg space is little less when three people are sittng at the back.the hand rest is a bit to big which is consuming more space at the back.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Ok. Just while going up in hilly areas it doesnt have good pick up. at highways it comes in good speed.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good.it is very vobbly at times specially on the slippery roads and even on the mountains of the mahableshwar.

Final Words Best car to drive in the city , go for it. it s the best car in the segment , please go for it. I love this car.

Areas of improvement Fuel economy and dash board and even the pick up of the engine.

Good style , outstandig features with the spacius interior.Bad fuel economy and doesn't give good pick up in hilly areas.
