We bought a car for my wife. Hand-held, on the speedometer 12,000 km. Before that, there was a Mercedes C 180 1995 for two. I will say right away that I still can't get used to it. What can I say, heaven and earth. Budget car.
1. Appearance: Beautiful. Attractive. Aggressive with a hitch. Recognizable.
2. Internal volume: Demands praise.
3. Interior: Noble and worthy of its price.
4. Trunk: Good volumetric. One minus - the arches on which the lid is held "enter" the trunk space and thus do not allow to put bulk items. "Gaps" are needed for these arcs.
5. Engine: torquey, though up to a speed of 120 km (volume 1.2) further unpleasant.
6. Management: at low speeds it holds the road well, after 90 km / h on the ruts you have to catch.
7. Gearbox: normal gearbox, with comfortable shifting.
8. Tomoza: good brakes, but I can't compare them with Mercedes ones. They are more comfortable there.
9. Winter start-up - beyond praise. One minus - a frozen gearbox whistles in the hydraulic booster. There, for some reason, they pour in thick oil. whistles for 10 minutes, then passes.
10. In the cold in the car, one cannot say that it is hot, but it may be because the cabin filter has not been changed. And so the fan blows very well.
1. The front struts interfere very much when cornering. You can't see anything at all. Even when passing pedestrians, you have to move your body back and forth to inspect the area behind the counter. A couple of times, I almost ran into a pedestrian. You can't see it because of the counter.
2. Noise isolation: out of 10 points 6. Wheels are heard very well. The noise outside the window (street noise) is very well drowned out. On a long journey, the noise of the wheels is simply tiresome. (again in comparison with Mercedes) there is complete silence. You can speak in a whisper.
3. Engine. This is one annoyance. I will never buy a car with a weak engine again. I myself am a mechanical engineer, I guessed that a weak motor was a marketing move, but I did not think that everything was so bad. In a word - do not buy a car with an internal combustion engine of 1.2 liters. Consumption on my Mercedes, which weighed 1.5 tons and a volume of 1.8 liters, ate 8-9 liters in a combined cycle, 7-8 liters outside the city. The same Aveo eats the same amount, no less, and at a speed of more than 120 km / h, gluttony increases. Communicated with the drivers of Aveo with 1.4 liter engines. The consumption is really economical.
4. Suspension me, spoiled by Mercedes comfort, just annoying. To feel each gyrus with your fifth point, it is simply not pleasant. Before Mercedes I had two "Sevens" VAZ. I also rode them in Russia, because the comfort of the "Seven" suspension is an order of magnitude higher than the comfort of the Aveo suspension.
Output. The car is good. Worth the money and sow the day finds its customers. For those who plan to buy it, I advise you not to buy with a 1.2 liter engine. No savings, one expense. The engine has to be constantly accelerated. From this, its resource is reduced, and fuel consumption increases. For 1.2 liters, the balance of power and weight of the car is disturbed (1.3 tons). At 1.4 it is more correct.
If you drove on hard suspensions, there will be no problems with adaptation, but the front pillar cannot be removed anywhere - it will interfere with you. Although I thought here, my height is 180 cm, for those who are shorter, it may not bother me. On the other hand, the spouse also complains that nothing is visible, but her height is 168 cm.
See, choose.
Good luck on the road.
Chevrolet Aveo T250 is a restyling of the previous version, and not a new generation, as everyone thinks. Although visually it seems that this is a new generation, since there are many changes. There are new motors, suspension characteristics changed and much more. Let's discuss everything in more detail.
Exterior
The appearance has changed quite well, with a new hood with more prominent reliefs. There are also other headlights in front, they are larger, and the filling remains halogen. The small radiator grille is highlighted with a huge amount of chrome, which visually makes the car more expensive. The massive and embossed bumper of the model has air intakes in the lower part. In that area, there are round fog lamps with chrome surround and also a chrome horizontal line that connects to the optics.
The side of the sedan has surprisingly strongly inflated wheel arches, which cannot but please, especially a completely young audience. There is a stamping line approximately in the middle, and there is also a similar one at the top. An oval-shaped turn signal repeater is noticeable, but it is small.
At the back, a fairly large optics with a good color scheme immediately attracts attention. The trunk lid pleases with the presence of a spoiler, as well as a slightly protruding line that corresponds to the size of the turn signal on the optics. The massive bumper of the car will please only with a relief shape at the bottom.
The Chevrolet Aveo T250 sedan was mainly popular, but there was a 5-door 5D version and a 3-door 3D version. Since our country loves the sedan more, here are its dimensions:
- length - 4310 mm;
- width - 1710 mm;
- height - 1505 mm;
- wheelbase - 2480 mm;
- clearance - 155 mm.
Specifications
| Type of | Volume | Power | Torque | Overclocking | Maximum speed | Number of cylinders |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 1.2 l | 84 h.p. | 114 H * m | 12.8 sec. | 170 km / h | 4 |
| Petrol | 1.4 l | 101 h.p. | 131 H * m | 11.9 sec. | 175 km / h | 4 |
| Petrol | 1.6 l | 109 h.p. | 150 H * m | - | 4 |
In our country, they sold only two engines, but there are actually 3 of them in the line. They certainly do not stand out with high power, but they are enough for ordinary city driving. We will now discuss them in more detail.
- The first unit is a 1.2-liter 16-valve engine. It is naturally naturally aspirated and produces 84 horsepower and 114 units of torque. With this engine, the sedan accelerates to the first hundred in 13 seconds, and the maximum speed is 170 km / h. Consumption in the region of 7 liters in the city and 5 liters on the highway.
- The second engine in the Chevrolet Aveo T250 lineup is 1.4, which produces 101 horsepower and 131 H * m of torque. The dynamics have become better, namely 12 seconds to hundreds and 175 km / h of maximum speed. More consumption - 8 liters in the city and also 5 liters on the highway.
- The 1.6-liter engine is the most powerful in the range. It is also naturally aspirated, but already produces 109 horses and 150 H * m of torque. Unfortunately, there is no data on how much it consumes and what kind of dynamics it has, but most likely they do not differ much from the previous engine.
The suspension of the car is independent in the front, this is the well-known MacPherson, the rear is a semi-independent system - a beam. The car stops using disc brakes in front, which are ventilated. Drum brakes are applied at the back. The gearboxes in the lineup are as follows - 5-speed mechanics and 4-speed automatic. The car is front-wheel drive.
Salon
The quality of the interior of the Chevrolet Aveo T250, of course, is not at a high level, but all this is justified by the cost of the car. Chairs with small lateral support and fabric upholstery were used. There is more or less enough space in the front, but very little in the back. The rear sofa, designed for three people, is not very comfortable and there is little legroom there. For rear passengers, there is a cup holder on the tunnel, which is definitely a plus.
At the very top of the dashboard panel there is an electronic clock. The center console has round air deflectors at the very beginning. Under them is the head unit, which has many buttons and a small monitor, it displays information about the radio station or track being played. The air conditioning unit looks good - a small monitor, two knobs and a number of buttons. At the very bottom there is an ashtray and a cigarette lighter.
The tunnel received a large niche for small things, a gear knob, and a parking brake handbrake. By the way, the model has a small glove compartment, documents can hardly fit. The driver will get a 4-spoke steering wheel, which has a small number of buttons. The instrument panel received analog sensors for the speedometer, tachometer, fuel level and engine temperature. There is also an uninformative on-board computer.
Unfortunately, the trunk of the Chevrolet Aveo T250 model does not provide an opportunity to increase its volume by folding the seats. The volume of the trunk is 400 liters and, in principle, this is enough. By the way, this car was tested for safety by EuroNCAP, and there it received only 2 stars out of 5.
Price
The model can be purchased on the secondary market if you wish and, in principle, you should not pay attention to the complete set, since they have minimal differences. On average, you can buy this car for 250,000 rubles and enjoy your purchase.
Should you buy it or not, this is of course your decision and it depends only on you. It seems to us that there is very weak equipment and weak security. Therefore, we will not recommend it to you, but simply leave the final decision for you.

Chevrolet is a well-known brand in the world market. Without any exaggeration, we can say that the AVEO t250 model with a 1.2 liter engine is known on all continents.
There are currently two hatchback body styles on the market with three and five doors. A body of this type has long won the trust of car owners and enjoys well-deserved trust. At the same time, classic sedans are rolling off the assembly line to preserve tradition and attract new customers. The correctness of this approach is confirmed by the stable sales volumes of these models.
International car
Car companies, in the struggle for markets, are taking a variety of ways to improve the quality of their products. It is known that the Chevrolet AVEO T250 model appeared on the market as a result of the vigorous activity of General Motors managers.
At first, starting in 2002, the following vehicle options were offered to consumers:
- sedan with 4 doors;
- hatchback with 5 doors;
- hatchback with 3 doors.
It so happened that in different countries the car was produced under different brands. And only in 2005, the Chevrolet AVEO t250 1.2 appeared in Europe with a definitively fixed name.
In the early years of its presence on the market, AVEO did not stand out from the machines of its class. The specs and the humble 1.2-liter engine did not impress the target audience. This situation did not last long. Powerful creative forces from different countries were involved in updating the gray model, and the result exceeded all expectations.
For the basic configuration of the AVEO t250, a pair of airbags, an air conditioner and a radio tape recorder were included. This turned out to be enough for AVEO to hit the top ten models sold. It should be noted that its price was less than ten thousand dollars. In the photo, the t250 sedan looks very attractive.
Specifications
The first thing that experts and consumers are in a hurry to note is the clearance value. For AVEO t250, it is 150 mm.
Depending on the configuration, gasoline engines with a volume of 1.2 to 1.8 liters are installed on the car. For amateurs, a 1.3 liter diesel engine is provided. The dynamics of the car and its handling characteristics deserve only praise. Average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 4.5 to 6.5 liters. It is recommended to use 95 grade gasoline as fuel.
Outstanding technical data and democratic price made the Chevrolet a popular car among urban and rural populations.
Equipment
For Russian connoisseurs of speed and comfort, the three-door AVEO t250 is available in two trim levels - basic and luxury. The base AVEO is equipped with a 1.2 liter engine only. Manual gearbox, fog lights and that's it.
The assembly of the suite involves the installation of electrically operated and heated exterior mirrors. On-board computer, central locking, which is controlled remotely, alarms for luxury equipment are commonplace. The body, handles and exterior mirrors are painted in the same color. The buyer can take advantage of the opportunity and choose the characteristics of the car according to his needs.
Appearance
The AVEO body is designed in such a way that it cannot be confused with another model. The large cornering lights are positioned so that they cannot be overlooked. The compactness and proportionality of the body elements makes the car especially attractive.
The exterior contours of the vehicle give the impression of a dynamic and sporty style. Aerodynamic characteristics make the car streamlined. This is partly due to the low fuel consumption and speed capabilities with an engine volume of only 1.2 liters. Wheel rims can be selected in the range from R13 to R15. Other options include an R16 wheel.
Salon
The interior trim of the AVEO t250 is made of hard plastic. The volumetric and spatial characteristics of the passenger compartment delight both the driver and passengers. Compared to its predecessors, the interior has become more spacious and functional. The driver's seat has a large stock of adjustments for any driver's height. All instruments are placed on the dashboard taking into account ergonomic requirements. The steering column can be adjusted vertically. The body of the 3-door hatchback allows for a luggage compartment with a volume of 220 liters.
Chassis
The robust and streamlined body of the AVEO allows the vehicle to travel at high speeds and long distances. Analyzing the technical characteristics of the suspension, analysts note the originality of its design, high efficiency and reliability. Developing high speed when cornering, AVEO moves without roll and skidding.
The 1.2 engine is designed mainly for urban conditions, capable of speeds up to 150 km per hour. Some experts point out the rigidity of the stroke. This is especially felt on gravel roads. High ground clearance in such conditions allows you to move confidently over all pits and bumps.
Maintenance
Like any modern car, the AVEO t250 requires proper care and maintenance. During the warranty period, all routine procedures are performed at the service center. As a rule, after 15 thousand km of run, the engine oil, oil filter and cabin ventilation filter change.
For a 1.2 liter engine, other scheduled work is not provided. The body and chassis are inspected for possible damage and malfunctions. In order to protect the body from scratches when driving on bulk roads, experienced drivers recommend installing wider mud flaps.
Operating conditions
It has long been known that harsh climatic conditions require the driver to comply with certain rules when operating a machine. The AVEO car is no exception in this respect. In summer, the t250 does not need any special maintenance. The main thing:
- monitor the oil level in the crankcase;
- refuel high-quality gasoline;
- check the brake fluid level.
Young drivers should be reminded to check their tire pressures at least once a week.
In winter, it is necessary to protect the AVEO body from the ingress of corrosive liquids. It is not recommended to wash your car at subzero temperatures. The technical characteristics of water procedures during the frosty period do not affect, but the surface of the body is exposed to serious influences. If possible, it is advisable to leave the car in a warm box overnight. If the car is left in an open area, then before the morning start, the engine must be warmed up with a special blower.
What could break down in the transmission of a car with the most powerful motors just over 100 horsepower? Believe it or not, it is in the mechanics of the Chevrolet Aveo that there are obvious punctures. The CV joint anthers and the hinges themselves do not differ in particular durability, even on machines with a weak 1.2, these parts fail with runs over one and a half hundred thousand kilometers.
Slightly tapping CV joints can walk for a long time, many especially thrifty drivers do not change a part that seems to be out of order and only clog more grease under a new boot. Surprisingly, the structure holds for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Most of the cars are equipped with manual transmissions of several series. All of them trace their ancestry from the Opel gearboxes F 10 / F 13 and even remain interchangeable with them. True, Korean cars do not use technological release bearings combined with a hydraulic cylinder, they manage with a classic "release" with a fork.
The design of the D 13 box, which was installed with 1.2 motors, is frankly unsuccessful. This is just a collection of bad decisions in the design of the manual transmission. So, weak bearings often buzzed with runs up to 70 thousand. The shafts are relatively reliable, and repairs in case of severe wear are relatively inexpensive. But the synchronizers also fail, the fifth gear wedges, the differential suffers from the welding of the satellites axis ... And on top of that, the oil seals are still leaking, which often leads to the "draining" of the box and its quick death. In general, as in the song, "life is on the edge" ...

To prevent the boxes from dying in batches, the oil change intervals were reduced many times during the warranty period - the latest unofficial recommendations suggested changing it every 30 thousand kilometers. Unfortunately, many car owners consider this to be overkill. By the way, ordinary ATF works fine in the box instead of the native oil, this is a frequently practiced change. But it is still better to change the box to D 16, even if this entails some alteration of the mountings and replacement of the drives.
In stock D 16, motors 1.4 and 1.6 are put. This manual transmission also has Opel roots and is close in design to the F 16. Here, the only troubles left are oil leaks through the oil seals. Otherwise, this is a pretty strong unit - in any case, it gets along without problems with such weak engines.

Against the background of troubles with the manual transmission, the work of the Aisin “automatic machine” looks like the height of reliability. After all, they put a box 60-41SN / 60-40LE here, which easily withstands the torque of engines 1.4 and 1.6 and does not even overheat. With a regular oil change, it can withstand 200-250 thousand kilometers until the first repairs - replacing the linings of the gas turbine engine and cleaning the valve body with the replacement of the linear pressure solenoid. And even for "racers" who do not change the oil on time, the first problems rarely appear before 150-200 thousand mileage.
Much less often with 1.4 engines is a weaker version of the automatic transmission, Aisin 81-40LE. This version of the box essentially differs little from the 60-40LE, but withstands noticeably less torque. In addition to all of the above, the planetary gear is also at risk. However, the hassle with it is still less than with the manual transmission, and with careful operation, the resource also exceeds 200-250 thousand kilometers before serious repairs.
Motors
The Aveo didn’t have many engines, but there’s a bit of confusion nonetheless. Many people still call the engines of the E-TEC II family "opelev", although they never installed them on European cars.
In general, all E-TEC units are developed on the basis of GM licenses and the development of Opel, however, they are modified by Daewoo and manufactured in Korea or Australia. Despite the generality of the design, there is a difference with European models.
Before restyling in 2007, motors B 12S 1 and F 14D 3 were installed with a camshaft belt drive. These are related engines on a modified Family I block. True, the 1.2 engine has only 2 valves per cylinder, and the 1.4 has 4, respectively, and the cylinder head is significantly different.
After restyling, the motors were replaced with B 12D 1, this is already a Family 0 family with a timing chain drive and 16 valves and an F 14D 4 motor, which belongs to the "old" Family 1 family and has a timing belt drive, but the design is more reminiscent of European engines and that's why many are called "opelevsky".
The motors are easy to distinguish. Which 1.2 is installed can be seen from the design: the new motor is smaller and the timing case is not visible - it is chain. Motors 1.4 can be distinguished by the nameplate power: the newer has 101 hp, versus 94 in the old one. Well, on the top cover proudly flaunts the inscription "Ecotec" instead of "E-TEC". The shape of the timing case and the location of attachments also differ.
All belt motors have a well-developed design with a sufficient resource. Even small 1.2 can go 200-250 thousand kilometers before overhaul with replacement of the piston group, and when using high-quality oils and short replacement intervals, the mileage before intervention in the piston will be more than 350 thousand, there are enough examples of this.
But, unfortunately, there are some nuances. At least all owners will be faced with leaking oil seals and gaskets. After all, the crankcase ventilation system is primitive here and needs cleaning, and the hole in the throttle space is simply clogged. The oil seals should be changed whenever possible, and the gaskets should be used only fresh, without reinstalling.
The cooling system is not made of the best materials and is prone to cracking of the pipes, expansion tank and thermostat. The latter is not very scary, because the temperature drops to a minimum, which makes life easier for older engines in hot climates, but in winter the owners suffer from underheating of the cabin.
Radiator cost

8 933 rubles
Plastic cylinder head covers on 16 valve motors 1.4 are also not ideal, there are frequent cases of warpage and oil leaks into the spark plug wells. Well, the EGR valve on all engines, not only does it heavily pollute the intake manifold, but also, significantly reducing the power and resource of the engine.
Motors with a cathode collector also risk the piston group when it crumbles, this usually happens with runs of more than 150-200 thousand kilometers, but starts in severe cold can lead to an earlier failure of the catalyst. Well, leaks in the gas tank ventilation system due to grinding of the tube against the rear shock absorber can lead to its contamination and problems with the pump and nozzles.
There are also troubles specific to each motor model, and more serious ones. In eight-valve 1.2 B 12S 1, if the oil change intervals of 10 thousand kilometers are not observed or when low-viscosity oils are used with runs of more than 100 thousand kilometers, the camshaft beds can be lifted. And this is serious. By the way, opelevskie with 8-valve engines or from Nexia with 1.5 engines are suitable. The reason is the clogging of the oil supply nozzle. By the way, it is recommended to drill it out, if the motor is still alive, to a diameter of 1.2 mm. And the timing belt needs to be changed not according to the regulations, but after 60 thousand mileage, and together with all the rollers. And change the pump at least after one timing change.
L-shaped arm cost

3 976 rubles
The restyled B 12D 1 motors have a relatively small timing chain resource, about 100-150 thousand kilometers. And therefore, it is worth carefully listening to the sounds of the chain during a cold start. The chain is thin and breaks easily, but more often it just jumps and bends the valve.
With the F 14D 3 motors, the situation is even more unpleasant. Incorrectly selected gaps in the valve-sleeve pair cause their "hanging", which eventually leads to burnouts and other unpleasant consequences, up to the destruction of the camshafts. The recall campaign is long gone, but there are still cars that have suffered from this problem for a long time, and the owners valiantly ignore all the symptoms.
A poor start and a decrease in compression for this engine with runs up to 150 thousand kilometers most often means an early repair of the cylinder head. Well, or a replacement for "opelevskaya", which is also a good option and even cheaper. High-voltage wires also need to be changed regularly, often the motor loses a lot in traction precisely because of them. The intake manifold becomes dirty, the vacuum drives do not work correctly, the throttle is clogged, and the idle valve requires regular cleaning.
The F 14D 4 was initially devoid of such a problem, but it also has its own subtleties. So, the state of the intake manifold flaps most often does not allow developing full power: EGR and oil from the crankcase ventilation system, as well as weak plastic flaps, are to blame.
Individual ignition coils are much more expensive than wires and ignition modules, and oil leaks are easily damaged. So you will have to regularly, at least once every 60 thousand, change the cylinder head cover gaskets if you do not want to change more expensive parts. Phase regulators may knock on startup. The problem is most often in the valves or contamination of the valve meshes, but if you drive for a long time with a knock, then the phase regulator couplings themselves will need to be replaced.
And watch out for oil leaks from the clutches, otherwise the timing belt may fail much earlier than expected. Valve clearances need to be adjusted - the motor does not have hydraulic lifters. Electronic throttle requires, otherwise failures and revolutions during switching and strong "floating" of idle are possible.
A rare 1.6 engine is usually an F 16D 4, as on, it was only installed on cars for the United States, so Aveo with such an engine is rare in our country. But in operation, it does not differ from the F 14D 4 motors.

The first generation Aveo is a very inexpensive car. True, it is not very cheap to operate - at least if you use a dealer service and do not delve into the essence of the problems. And if you approach the repair and maintenance wisely, then spare parts are inexpensive, and the work usually does not cost exorbitant money, because everything is arranged quite simply here.
Your voiceThe Chevrolet Aveo T250 was launched in 2006. It replaced the T200 model and received a more modern body. The equipment in general remained the same, however, the technical characteristics have improved. The attractive design, especially compared to the previous version, made an impression, and the new Aveo quickly won a wide audience of buyers. It became one of the favorites in the market and is still selling well to this day. For ten years the car has managed to show itself, so you and I have the opportunity to consider it from a practical point of view, based on the experience of the owners.
general characteristics
"Aveo T250" is made in three versions. The most popular of these is the 5-door sedan. There is also a hatchback, with three and five doors. The model is assembled in China, Korea, Poland and Ukraine. Chinese cars assembled at the GM subsidiary received the highest ratings from the owners. Models of the Chinese assembly differ primarily in the 1.6-liter engine and good equipment. Minor differences include a body-colored grille and a chrome trim strip between the taillights, as well as wood trim in the cabin. Chinese versions are performed using the sedan body type.
Body
Compared to the previous version, the Chevrolet Aveo T250 has a more corrosion-resistant body. However, anti-corrosion treatment is very appropriate, as on any other budget car. Unfortunately, the metal from which the body is made is very soft. Just pushing the car can leave a dent in it. As for the optics, on some cars it is not tight enough, as a result, fogging of the headlights. Basically, this is where the weak points of the Aveo T250 sedan end. "Aveo T200" had a serious drawback - a weak weld seam of the shelf attachment between the cups of the rear pillars. In the second generation, this flaw was corrected.
Salon
The interior of the Aveo T250 is similar to its older brother, but has a lot of useful improvements. The Chinese version has a beige finish, while the others are dark gray. The light finish looks more expressive, but it is very impractical and needs to be handled extremely carefully. The interior is finished with tough, but not squeaky plastic. Due to the wide side struts, there is not enough visibility when cornering. Noise isolation of the body is frankly rather weak. In the back row, passengers of average height can fit quite comfortably, however, the three of them will be cramped. Compared to its closest competitor, Daewoo Lanos, the Aveo T250 interior is narrower, and the backs of the rear row seats are more vertical. But the landing on the seats is slightly higher. The luggage compartment has a volume of 320 liters, which is not enough compared to competitors.
Engine
All Chevrolet Aveo T250 models are equipped with gasoline engines. The most common of these is the 1.5-liter, 8-valve unit, which has worked well in the last generation of cars. With proper operation, it can be used up to 500 thousand km without overhaul. However, it happens that after 200 thousand mileage, the rocker arms go out of their working position due to the wear of the hydraulic lifters. Therefore, when the valves knock, it is necessary to check the hydraulic lifters and, if necessary, replace them. On cars of those who like to drive at high speeds, over time, the gasket and the camshaft oil seal may lose their tightness.
The Chinese engine with a volume of 1.6 liters can have both in-line and V-shaped cylinders. Its main advantage is higher power with almost the same appetite as a 1.5-liter engine. This motor also did not reveal any serious "diseases", so you can safely buy it. There is only one characteristic problem - the leakage of the valve cover gasket.
The timing belt of both motors must be replaced together with the rollers every 6 thousand kilometers. But the pump, which is driven by this very belt, serves twice as much.
The car has a pretty solid appetite - about 10 liters per 100 km of track, so many owners install HBO on it. As practice shows, engines powered by gas installations serve no worse than those on gasoline. Tuning "Aveo T250" makes it possible to improve the characteristics of the motor, but usually they do not resort to it.
Transmission
The lion's share of cars of this model is equipped with a 5-speed mechanics. There will be no more than 20% of cars with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Both boxes suffer from weak tightness of the axle shaft seals and the crunch of external grenades. Therefore, sometimes these elements have to be changed. Otherwise, both checkpoints are quite reliable. Several problems that were characteristic of the previous version of the car were successfully eliminated by the manufacturer. The clutch is hydraulically driven, which deserves only one note - the clutch release noise.
Suspension
The chassis has a high energy consumption, and copes well with the defects of our roads. However, with sharp maneuvering, the body rolls noticeably. Therefore, the car is more suitable for measured driving.
The design of the Aveo T250 suspension is similar to the previous version - an independent McPherson in front and a semi-independent beam at the rear. The suspension is well adapted to our realities and lasts quite a long time. can serve at a distance of up to 50 thousand km, but the silent blocks of the front levers, ball joints and usually withstand a mileage of up to 100 thousand km.
Steering and braking system
The steering wheel "Aveo T250" is equipped with a hydraulic booster. This unit is sometimes prone to leakage of the steering shaft seal. Even less often, power steering wear is observed, which is manifested by a characteristic knock. Steering tips serve 60-80 thousand km, and thrust even up to 100 thousand. The braking system works flawlessly, however, sometimes they fail.
Conclusion
The status of one of the leaders in sales in the post-Soviet market of budget cars, this car has received well deserved. "Aveo" combines reasonable cost, reliability, adaptability to our roads and inexpensive maintenance. The machine is well suited for any audience of budget buyers. It is moderately modern and looks more profitable than some competitors. Easy tuning of "Aveo T250" will make the car even more interesting and for several years forget about the desire to change the car.
In 2012, the production of the Chevrolet Aveo T250 was discontinued. The price of a car in the secondary market today ranges from 5 thousand dollars. But the history of the car does not end there, because since 2012 it has been produced in Ukraine under the name In addition to the name, nothing has changed in the car. The new "Vida" costs about 12 thousand dollars.
