Chevy Aveo vs Honda Fit... scary sight.
#22
its not based on a daewoo... it IS a daewoo.... chevy just re-badges them... i almost feel bad for the ppl who buy these Fit imposters.... why on earth would you take an aveo over a Fit? they are similarly priced....

My brother flipped a ~88 escort hatch, unbelievably it was a pretty solid handling car on the hwy. He got hit from the side (real low speed ~20mph) and the car just flipped like a domino.
The only car I ever slid/spun was my old Audi turbo I hit the turbo on a rainy hwy with bald tires. My fault.
I guess I've been lucky, or know my cars' limits, or just insist to get the best tires money can buy... I mean it is the only part of the car that actually makes contact with the road might as well go all out for that.
I've been renting cars till my car gets here, and I recently got stuck with the PT cruiser, the car skid on my at 30mph on a moderate curve. Overal I do think the quality of the pos cars is whats helping put them out of business.
I've gotten those comments a while now, and I dont even have the car yet.
I tell ya Chevy would of been out of business a long time ago but they do have a dedicated clientele (sp?). Some people I know will buy nothing but a Chevy even though alot of their cars are made in Mexico/Korea/etc. now.
nice phrase!!!!

i drove the aveo a few times at the GM Auto Show In-Motion. Basically a short auto-x course to test all GM cars and competetor cars. the aveo handles very poorly. it has so much body roll. the steering is numb and so is the throttle. it really feels like when they were building it they thought to themselves; "oh who cares, nobody who would actually buy this car knows any better."

A Chevy Aveo (and Cobalt as well), make me wonder if people research anything before buying a car.
I drove a 2008 Cobalt for two weeks after I wrecked my Fit. What a letdown. The transmission howled after 45mph. It only had 20,000 miles on it.

Confession
Ok, I will come clean...I owned a 1987 Yugo. My tag read BABYUGO..cute huh?
I can't imagine the Aveo being as bad a mistake as the Yugo! Thank God my purchasing skills have improved!

most likely the driver was texting on his cell phone... most people blame the cars... but I've seen a beemer flip because he forgot to turn at a straight away.... he hit cones and then jerked the steering wheel to correct, and hit the divider on the US101 in San Francisco (near the airport's repavement project)
I blame drivers that aren't paying attention to the road, not the car... I like their cars, as "cute" as our cars, good on gas mileage considering what other american cars give.... I give it a thumbs up.

Yea are cars have a good suspension on them. U would not think that they would be so good by the cost of them and they are so light that is why they are so fun and don't need a lot of HP. Alot of people i work with are starting to get them do to how they like riding in mine and the MPG i get with the total cost of one u can't beat it

my guess is, it was a rental. or, he just got it. poor guy.

It is funny we have several Aveo's in this area and it seems like everyone behind the wheel of the Aveo really gives the Fit a look over. It really makes me slightly mad when people say my Fit looks like an Aveo or they say I saw an Aveo and thought about your little car- Yikes dirty words to a Honda driver
