      Potential Problems with 2009 Aveo5? What preventive maintenance should I do?

      I have a 2009 Aveo5 automatic with about 80,000 miles on it. It got new spark plugs at 55,000. It got new front brake pads and rotors at about 65,000 miles and the two oxygen sensors at 72,000. It has newer tires (about 10,000 miles on them). I plan on giving it to my daughter as her daily driver in the next month or two. It still has the original timing belt as the manual says change that at 100,000. Are there any other things I should have done to the car before I give it to her? While the belt theoretically has 20,000 miles left on it, it is 7 years old. Anyway, any thoughts?

      My wife has same car, but with half that mileage. As far as I know there is only one oxygen sensor, not two. There are two catalytic converters on it, however.

      It sounds like you maintained it well. Give your daughter the car and stop worrying, dad. It's time to let go. She will deal with it on her own and service it when it becomes necessary.
