I'm new here but here is a picture of my 04 and 09 aveos both are lowered. The 04 just hit 169k miles today. The 04 is on H&R and the 09 is on Eibachs. Ive never put a picture up so sorry if it doesnt work.[attachment=0:3i6duqbr]S4010047.JPG[/attachment:3i6duqbr][attachment=1:3i6duqbr]S4010057.JPG[/attachment:3i6duqbr]
Woo, two Aveos. They both look nice.
BTW, welcome!
nice aveos, had any problems with the 04?
Thank you for the complements. Nothing serious ever went wrong except the brake light switch failed at like 50k and I had to replace the front pass wheel bearing at about 160k but besides that the car just keeps going.
very good, thats a fine example for people wondering how the aveo holds up
thank you for sharing :D
Great cars, very nice. I love the 09', the 04 seems like it might have a little too much rubber on it for my taste though....am I wrong? Then again, I'm a VW guy...I'm all about low profile. 8)
I like seeing 169,000 mi on the 04... I hope to see 200,000 plus on a post from you sometime. I perfer the 04 over the 09 myself. Just going off of looks I like the gen1 aveo. Cool that you have 2. Which one do you drive more at this point? What are the pros and cons you have comparing each one .
The 04 has a little bigger tire 205-50 15 the 09 is on 195 50 15. The 04 is driven the most about 150-200 miles a day from upstate NY to the Bronx.
That is a commute for sure.I drive about 145-150 per day,when I was working...laid off union carpenter... What kind of mileage are you getting from each vehicle? Auto or man trans?
Welcome to the site... Any other mods besides lowering?
Both are manuals. I usually get 30-35 mpg with the silver one depending on traffic but I have gotten 40 mpg with it when I keep it under 60 and in fifth gear. I haven't calculated the milage on the 09 yet because I try not to bring it to the Bronx since I park on the street. No mods except the lowering and wheels on the 09. The 04 has a better stereo and an armrest I built and upholstered since they didn't put one in the 04. I didn't want to mod them too much because I drive so much I need them to stay relaible.
Does the 04 have original clutch?
Still on the original clutch somehow since the first 75k were all city miles but the throwout bearing has been whining for about 90k. The clutch still feels strong though.
Do you see much difference in ecotec vs e-tec II ?
Besides 04 (hopefully) being more responsive since it's cable, not drive by wire...
the new aveo itself is more "refined" to a level than the 04 is, but i doubt they are any different in any major way
