Still under 8K Miles. - flex - No problems... except my transmission fluid leak. The dealer had to replace the hose that went into the radiator to cool the fluid. I didn't find out I had a Tranny leak until I was racing a guy... I couldn't get it out of 3rd gear. Stuck at 85MPH. Lol. The leak looked like I had bottomed the car out somewhere. I think I know where too. Stupid gas station entrance down the street from me. I rarely go there anymore.

7995aveo..... its like 60% Highway, 40% City. I keep it mostly 60, but can go up to 65. Shift at 2,000-2,500RPM Time the Lights Coast to a stop from a distance ...38mpg, i have done it Three times now since my echaust was installed.
I am keeping up with traffic just fine, but of course i get passed on the highway.
Last summer i got 40 mpg on a 190 mile round trip on the highway while being completly stock (probably 40 miles of that being city)
Im really curious to what my strictly highway mpg is now.

I've decided against getting an Aveo. The Aveo is a brilliant package which seems to be perhaps slightly too cheap for it's own good. Maybe someday.

My 04 hasnt had any problems, not even suspension problems, and the Aveo has about 38,000 miles on it. Only thing I can say is that I am finally getting used to the little power the 4 cyl has. Even then, i know how to shift the auto to get the most out of the 4 cyl. I am going to take the resonator out of the car, and modify the air intake to get more air into the engine.
I need to get the tune-up done, the gas gage starts to move everytime I drive the car.

Most Chevy Dealers offer a free oil change. Those dirks there at the dealer gave me some pisspoor oil. I forgot what they put in, but I took it out the next day and replaced it with 10W-40, at their expense. Lol.

my dealer isnt free, but I do it myself, Mobil 5000 is my favorite at the moment. Only problem is suspension which they fixed, other than that im at 26k miles and no other problems, but ive driven it hard at time also, usually shift around 3.5k rpms or so
