I picked up a new Aveo last month...just figured to put up a pic:

My new car!

I'll miss the Maxima, but this thing gets 34MPG! Averaging about 29 in my normal driving.

OP,

I'm so sorry.

"Daewoo is responsible for its design, manufacture, and export (under such varied monikers as the Suzuki Swift+ and Holden Barina). Chevy?s sole Aveo contribution: the bow-tie badge."


"Petrochemical paranoia is driving consumers who can afford big to think small. The threshold of acceptability is soaring. It?s such a strong trend that Aveos sales are up despite the fact that the model doesn?t offer one competitive advantage over its rivals? not mileage, sportiness nor versatility."


I'm so, so sorry.

WHOOOOOOSHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking the same thing. My wife's 2004 Civic Coupe easily beats this number. On trips we easily average 40mpg. Of course I have no idea what the HP of my wifes car is...but I know it sucks. I've been wanting to replace it now with something nicer, newer, and safer...but with the gas mileage it is getting...I can't be bothered.

Nice car but I average 26 in the city and 33 highway. The best so far was 37 at a steady 45 mph from Mt Dora to my home in St Augustine. Oh and its a 6 speed manuel 04 TL.
