Post Chevrolet Aveo 1.4 - 1700 km Report..

Loads of new cars have been launched in the near past and I have changed my mind from Fiesta 1.6 to Swift and then to Getz and yet to be launched Chevrolet U-VA… Before buying the car, I had taken test drives of the following vehicles.
1. Ford Fiesta 1.4 – 3 times
2. Maruti Swift – 4 times
3. Hyundai Getz – 1 time
4. Chevrolet Aveo 1.4 – 3 times

But, this car just took my heart away. Not only in terms of looks but also in terms of Power, Torque, comfort and most important Customer Care and Sales team…… Yesss.. I am talking about none other than Chevrolet Aveo 1.4…. Bought the vehicle on 31-Mar-06 and was on a roller coaster ride with 650+ kms on 2-April-06… Drove for around 13 hours….. And I could not feel better…. The vehicle is very smooth. The suspension is awesome and is very comfortable

Car Details
1. Make : Chevrolet
2. Model : Aveo 1.4
3. Color : Cashmere
4. ICE
a. HU : Pioneer 6850
b. Front Components : JBL 506ce

…. I was along with my friend and the boot was Full!!! It really drove well and gave a FE of 14.8 on highway with AC on all the time.


Some things which I noticed in my car…
1. When speeding over 100 kph a light hizzzing sound was heard. The Service guyz checked the beading and the problem is now solved.
2. When taking turns at high speeds a noise from the door was coming. The Service guys said that there was a problem with the door alignment/leveling and now the problem has been rectified.
3. When I take a reverse a two noises were heard. Have to get it rectified.
As I said I was delighted by their service.

Now the + ves about Aveo, which I have experienced.

1. Excellent suspension
2. Good use of Battery Saver
3. Option of closing the Power windows even after removing the key (for 30 seconds)
4. Very comfy seating. You just don’t feel tired even after 13 hours of non-stop driving
5. Comfortable city drive.

1. Kms Done (overall) : 1700+ kms
2. Kms Done (Highway) : around 750 kms
3. Kms Done (City) : around 950 kms
4. Fuel Economy : 14.8 kpl on highway

I am happy that I made Chevrolet Aveo, the First Car of my life ! ! !
