I have a bunch of them:
-228k
-235k
-159k
-73k

None have been rebuilt, and I have all records for all of them. After 30 years, they shift well too... Just need to make sure bowden cables and vacuum modulators are set up right.

I hate them. Never in my life.

This coming from a person who drives a compact GM.

I have nothing against them except that darn Silverado front end they stuck on it does nothing for me.

What do you guys think of the Chevrolet Daewoo 09 Aveo ?

You did good. That vehicle will serve you well and you didn't have to spend a ton in the process.

Would get a current one, but I am considering the 2011 one.

I'm curious to see the new sedan version...

Ummm... Aisin is also Toyota's tranny supplier for decades. They have NEVER supplied Mercedes with their gearboxes - Mercedes either builds them in-house or sources them from ZF. Daewoo uses quite a few Jatco/Nissan trannies as well. Holden builds the motor, or at least the engine is designed in Australia.

I've drove a Aveo around the lot at my old job, and I thought even Detroit's worst pales in comparison to this car. Cheap, flimsy plastics and a hoarse motor that would make even a B&S lawnmower engine happy. Its saving grace was that it was decently comfortable and it's a ideal city car - if you live in LA or San Francisco.

GM and Suzuki saved Daewoo in the 1990s-2000s. I'd much rather ride the bus than drive an Aveo. I say look at its countrymates - the Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio.
