Re: wind noise

No issues like that on my '05 aveo. But the radio attennae can whistle at times. And when the rear wiper blade has it's rubber hanging that makes some noise. Everything else can be handled by making sure the windows are fully closed. My mom's ford requires a little extra manual help to close at least one of her windows fully. And at speed it wont go fully up because the air vacuum / pressure pulls the window out slightly. So you have to down / up it while basically parked. But that's a ford.

Not much issues with my aveo, outside of 27mpg on 10W-30W oil, versus the 5W-30W oil I keep requesting they put into my 5W-30W engine. With the price of gas and mieage between changes, that's easily a $60 difference in efficiency between oil changes. I tend to average 32mpg with the correct oil. Sometimes 36-41mpg on long trips. But now that I'm past 50K miles, and gas is 10% non-gas, 34mpg is about as good as it gets in favorable conditions.
