My 2007 Aveo vs. the competition
I paid about 12.5K for my 2007 Aveo. I made sure I had only a two options: air conditioning and upgraded wheels [15 inch aluminum wheels] and that's it. Here why it beats out the competition. All the other cars have nothing but stupid problems all the time. My friends Buick Park Avenue 'electric trunk' does not close - the motor went bad and the trunk does not close anymore. What a stupid option that was. I don't have that problem. My cousins Toyota Prius keeps shutting down because it thinks its out of gas - even though its half full. I don't have that problem. My co-workers new Nissan FX has a leaking sunroof - I don' t have that problem. My buddies Jaguar convertible top no longer opens right- its stuck halfway. I don't have that problem. My girlfriends 4 door Honda Accord is not as roomy as my Aveo and no mp3 player. My buddies New Cadillac is a pain in the ass to drive [too much car] and a headache to park. My cousins new Volkswagan Passat is expensive and has been in the shop twice for mechanical problems. All the cars are expensive and headaches. They are not worth it. I don't have any of these problems. I paid half less then most of these cars and I have a better warranty, more room, better MPG, my car sits nice and high too and none of the stupid headaches. More and more people are coming up to me asking me about it. It looks sharp and its the right price.

Re: My 2007 Aveo vs. the competition
Good deal. Stick with the basics and you won't have problems. Is your Aveo a 5spd or auto? I like them. Nice little cars. Problem with $12.5K is, you can get a Cobalt LS, auto for that after incentives. That's why I went that way back in the spring of '07.

I tried out the Cobalt - I did not like it. I prefered the Aveo. Mine is automatic.

Re: My 2007 Aveo vs. the competition
Can't argue with that. I never drove the Aveo. Just sat it one. Cobalts were such a smoking deal at the time, I could't touch an Aveo for the ~$12100 I paid for a new Cobalt.

Re: My 2007 Aveo vs. the competition
Sure you have all of those advantages but the others havethings like heated seats, auto dimming mirrors, a good chunk of hp.
Its a give and take thing.

Re: My 2007 Aveo vs. the competition
those extra things are just more things to break. I had all of those stupid features on my past cars..Jaguars, BMW's and Cadillacs. Here is what happens to them at the worst time: the heated seats will work in the summer but not the winter, the sunroof will leak or not close back up, the dimming mirrors will dim and stay dim forever, the alarm will go off when you are there and not go off when its being stolen...etc etc etc...
who needs the grief. NOT me. |

Re: My 2007 Aveo vs. the competition
I had a SOB turbo and it was a POS. I have an 04 Aveo which has been trouble free. Also bought an 08 Dodge Caliber with a lot of bells and whistles. I bought the extended warranty to cover all that. EVERYTHING even the headlights are routed thru some kind of computer interface.
