Got my ride on Wednesday... Now what should I expect?

[Bigs]

What are the common problems of the Aveo? What should I expect or is it pretty much a really good reliable car?

You shouldn't have issues with the TB/PCV valve recalls, they redesigned it in 06 when they went to throttle-by-wire. I've done the TB coolant bypass like the XD for 2 winters now with no problems.
Some 06's had a bad batch of ECUs from Siemens that shut down below ~-15 oC. They mostly made it into Suzuki Renos but a few Swift/Aveos got them, like mine. Replaced under warranty.
Otherwise no other problems so far.
