Chevy Aveo Sedan vs. Kia Rio vs. Hyundai Getz CRDi

[Kurusaki]

Good day to all tsikoteers!

Post your point per point objective/subjective comparison, intuition, insights, opinions, judgment, outlook, etc...

I think this would also be helpful to those out there shopping for a reliable subcompact aside from their expensive Japanese counterparts.

Repost: Re: AVEO

i have an aveo, never test driven it, nag sisi ako gusto kong isauli soon as i drove it on the road. Reason? yung left side mirror pang kubeta, flat, kailangang pihitin ko pa ulo ko, nearly got sideswiped on a merging traffic, may sasakyan pala sa tabi ko hindi kita sa mirror. Para sa Misis ko sana yun, kaya lang ayaw niya gamitin baka makasagi/masagi lang siya. Attaching a fisheye mirror is also confusing.
Changing lanes a strain for me, baka kaka lingon ko sa tabi ko hindi ko mapansin nag preno na pala yung sa harap ko.

Ang taas ng respeto ko sa mga koreano (this is daewoo rebadge chevy) pero dissappointed ako dito, it failed my expectations, i have more fun driving my pristine conditioned charade.

There's a comparo between the Getz CRDi, Aveo Hatch (1.1L version tho) and Toyota Yaris in Top Gear Philippines November issue. The Aveo Hatch didn't rate well, and, no surprise, the Yaris came out on top.

I think the Aveo sedan is worth a look.

i own a chevy aveo 1.5 Liter AUTOMATIC

yung sa hatchback, wala akong problem, ewan ko lang sa sedan.. sa power naman, okay, hinde hirap paakyat

1.5L sohc ang makina, with ABS and airbags, cd changer/mp3, all powered, except windows( weird, pero okay lang) and 15" alloy wheels

so far wala pa naman akong problem sa tsikot ko, 1 year na siya

okay rin yung getz 1.5L kaya lang wala masyadong safety features

[Kurusaki]

Anyone who bought or test drove the CRDi Getz? 2007 Kia Rio? What do you think about these two?

[basti08]

i like the Aveo 1.4L matic especially with bodykits.

[tanoshi_637]

i dunno about Rio & Getz, pero the Aveo 1.4 A/T Sedan (my wife's car) hindi ko gusto performance ng tranny niya, just one of those cars na hindi maganda ang mga gear ratio, napaka jerky, papalo muna ng 6K rpm (parang natatae) bago mag shift sa higher gear (on acceleration, taas na nga rpm bagal pa acceleration). Between 3rd gear & top gear wala ka namang maramdamang hatak or difference dun sa kanilang dalawa exept lumakas lang yung ugong ng makina pero speed halos walang nagbago.
Try Rio or Getz first before buying this car. Maybe it's just me pero there are many small things that annoys me, summing up hating the aveo overall. Pinamimigay ko na nga eh, ituloy na lang nila yung monthly amortization pero walang gustong sumalo after trying it (kuwait).

One unhappy Aveo owner...

Anyhow, I'm seeing more of this car (Aveo sedan) on the streets everyday. I guess its good looks and the GM badge helped a lot in attracting consumers.

By the way, CBU from Korea ba ito?

[tanoshi_637]

yes it's CBU. was in phils last Aug 07 and brought the side mirror with me, hoping i could find a proper one. Inquired at Chevy-Edsa near Munoz pero ganun din mga mirrors, pang bahay. Bakit naman kasi ganito, hindi ko ma intindihan, of all things bakit yung mirror pa yung isa sa mga tinipid, ganun ba kamahal ang proper vehicle mirror?

[Kurusaki]

I guess it's not about "nagtitipid" but more of a styling/design issue.

Anyhow, corrected na yata yan sa mga models ngayon. I checked the local GM website and they gave an emphasis on the side view mirrors which as they said "larger than before" check it out...

[hominid]

Talo ng Getz CRDi ang Prius sa start-stop traffic. San ka pa? P600K o ~P2M?

When it comes sa safety features, driver pa rin naman ang pinaka importante.

Thanks for the info... that's a relief, i could finally order a proper mirror for my new car! i could live with an unstable ride at high speed.

Its CBU from GM's Rayong plant in Thailand.

Aveo sedan is CBU from GM's Rayong plant in Thailand.

Hmmm...

Its name is American (Chevrolet), its engine is Korean (Daewoo), but it's made in Thailand. I bet it is designed from another nation? The car is somewhat confusing with regard to its origin...

Thats the way it is in the modern world...
The Toyota Yaris sold here is made in Thailand, but was designed in France, and was engineered in Japan.

The Aveo platform was developed at Daewoo's Worthing Technical Centre in the UK(this was before Daewoo became part of GM).
The 1st Aveo(T200) was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro while the latest reskinned Aveo(T250) was designed in house by GMDAT.

The E-TEC II engine of the Aveo and Optra are part of the GM Family I engines, this makes it a relative of Opel's ECOTEC engine.

The next gen All-new Aveo(2010MY?) will use the GM Gamma II platform to be shared with the next Opel Corsa, while the Optra replacment(2009MY?) will move to the GM Delta II platform to be shared with the next Opel Astra.
The first GMDAT model to be integrtaed into GM's global platform is the Captiva SUV which uses the latest version of the GM Theta platform.

Which is why I always say: It doesn't matter what country is on the badge... what matters is how well-engineered the car is.

I guess a lot of people rely too much on the badge...
