My Aveo 1.4 LS is 17 months old and has done 45, 000 Kms. In and around Delhi-NCR it averages 11-12 Kmpl and 14-15 Kmpl on highways.
I had screened Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Verna, Indigo and Swift and I found the Aveo to be the best value for money.
Pros: Great looks, sturdy design, well priced for the features, comfortable ride, good warranty. No rattles even after 45, 000 Kms.
Cons: The gearshift is a trifle hard and there is distinct change in engine sound above 80 Kmph. The door hinges make noise unless regularly lubricated. The airconditioning does not work so well in the hot summers. Paint from the bumpers comes off very easily.
Problems faced: Overheat on account of thermostat failure and overheat due to a leak in the radiator. Front shock absorbers had to be replaced twice. The overall experience is good considering the fact the car travels approx. 100 Kms every day.
