hi Indian,
nice review there.
I have a sep2006 aveo 1.4LS. driven for about 4500kms. 1st main service is still due.
so far I have been satisfied with the 1.4 version. i actually found it more VFM then the top end 1.6 version mostly bcoz i was little economy conscious and I didnt notice much difference in both car's initial pull/pickup and also that both versions have the same notchy long gearshift knobs.
FE of my car is getting better now. I recently got surprised with the FE of 13.09 kms/l in my last tankful with normal HP fuel with 50%ac usage in city driving conditions. I hope it improves even more and touches 14 kms/l after 1st service.
car feels very roomy and a headturner with both interiors and exteriors designed beautifully. AC is good enough if not excellent.
I also dont feel any noticible trouble with the left leg touching the dash and I am 6 feet 1 inches.
Ground clearnce is excellent. It hasnt touched and speed braker yet with full loaded capacitiy. yet I find that the turning radious of 5 is not enough and this car is little troublesome on sharp and narrow U-Turns.
Overall , Aveo 1.4 is actually a good car however infamous for its notchy gearshaft, engine response and drivebility. However the FE is very GOOD.
hope this short reviews helps those seeking advice on AVEO and in comparison with Fiesta which is a great car too.
