Road trips are your hobby?


Based on the millage on the Hyundai, you won't have to stress the re-sale. Cars are worth sh.. at that distance.

Doesn't sound like a bad deal, but I would try to get another $1000 off the price, just for the h... of it.

My local Chevrolet Dealer have new '09 Aveos that are heavily discounted. I am looking for a good car for my hobby, road trips. This car will be replacing my 1998 Hyundai Elantra which has 280k miles. Any of you do any road trips with the Aveos? Any Pros or Cons?

Next year, I plan on doing a road trip from Key West Florida to Inuvik, NT, Canada and Alaska (11,500 miles). This has been my dream for a while.

Another question: Are both the E-Tec and Ecotec a Daewoo-designed engine? What are the main differences besides HP? What are these premature timing belt issues I'm hearing about? Where are the 2009/2010 Aveos made in?

Thank you in advance.

Here's a link via mapquest of the road trip I plan on driving:

What year engines are considering "new"?

ive driven in my 07 from PA to Fl in back a few times and its good, im 6' foot tall and it is a confortable car, the timing belt on the new engines will last over 100k, not sure about the premature belt breakage, 95% break after their expected life. Nothing wrong with Daewoo/GM



Thank you
Jason

Does anyone know if the car comes with a in-cabin air filtration system? It doesn't say nothing on the window sticker but it says it on the internet. I'm confused. I will be traveling a lot on dirt roads so cabin filter is imperative.

Make sure the discount is at least one years of depreciation compared to a 2010, actually a 2011 since they are just around the corner. A year and a month for now it will be three years old.

I'm waiting to see an 11 myself, and forgive me for saying this I'm also want to look at a Ford Fiesta :shock:

Not a fan of the past Ford Fiesta, but that new model has definitely grabbed my eye. On TV, it sure is attractive..

The new engine does not have the belt issue any more.
It is rated for 100,000.

I'm new to the site and considering the purchase of a new '09 left over. I would like a white sedan and 5 speed manual transmission. I read the 2010 gearing was changed to help the spacing between shifts and to improve MPG. Is this true and anyone have any experience with the driveability of the manual transmission.

What should I expect to pay for a new leftover '09. Cash transaction and about $3200 worth of GM points to cash in too.

Thanks,

The gearing change is pretty small. You can look it up in the specifications pages we have:
