Introducing my 07 Aveo hatchback

Hello everyone! I have been browsing your forum for some time, and now that I bought an aveo I decided to register. Nice to see so many people here! I bought my aveo two months back, but it was actually produced last year. It was the last one with old body the dealer had in stock and it is brand new, well it was two months ago. :lol: I use it every day to commute to my work and already put 3000 kilometers on it. Even had a chance to give it an offroad test)) when I was going to a sort of picnik with my friends, and it passed the test ok.

I think I'm gonna keep it stock, but will possibly give the wheels a change some time later. It's a 1,2 l engine, and we just got two choices here which are 1.2 or 1.4 l. I got almost a base trim and what I have is an a/c, driver airbag, 14" wheels, manual and not body color mirrors and mp3 radio. And I'm quite happy with what I have!

congrats and welcome! ur aveo looks good in silver!

Thanks, I like it in silver too. And it was the only color the dealer had anyways :lol: Here's another pic. They're poor quality but that's the best I could get from my mobile.[attachment=0:3ko78kpj]DSC00145.JPG[/attachment:3ko78kpj]

And I forgot to mention it also has power steering and front power windows.

Did you install the power windows yourself? I've never heard of just front power windows as an option.

No, I didn't istall anything. :P The reason is I got a 1.2 l engine. Yes, here, in Russia, we got that toy 1.2 l engine for the aveo, and the 1.4 l is the top. And you can just have front power windows for a 1.2 l. But anyways I don't need the rear ones because I don't use them. Let rear passengers do some work :lol:

Thanks! Yes I can see it in your avatar and mine has those headlights with integrated turn signals.
I wanna ask ya guys a question. My car sweats inside when it's rainin, which is especially becoming an issue at this time of year. Windows get foggy inside, especially the windshield. I defog them using the a/c, but don't wanna have the a/c on all the time. Anybody have that issue and how do you fix that? I cleaned them with a car window cleaning fluid but there's been almost no rain after that, especially when I'm driving.
:P

Rostov, i've been to Nizhny Novgorod in the mid 90's, my parent were buyin a Gaz Volga 3110 direct from the factory there.

Ok, which Rostov did you mean? If it's Rostov-na-donu I lived there for a short time when I was a lil kid and it's my mother's native town. I will be probably kicked out for going off the subject
:P but I just wonder if we can be about the same age. I am 32. Do you mind if I go a bit personal and ask what ur age is?

im 19, Rostov na donu

They didnt even change it when they put out the SRT-4 either. I gotta roll down the back windows. When someone bitches about it, I tell them, "There is a reason you are in the back bitch, now crank them windows!" lol

Welcome.

Is the heater control on fresh air or re-circulate? You'll get major fogage if you leave it on re-circulate.

I always keep the heater control on fresh air except for when I'm in a traffic jam or a stinky truck passes by.
I normally set the fan speed knob to 3rd position with the air blowing towards my feet to partially avoid the problem, and if the fan on 1st speed the windshield and front side windows get fogged in seconds. So far as I know this problem is common with the aveo especially if the air humidity ir high, whis is my case.

your english is great, were did you study

Here in Nizhny. And I used to work with an Australian company as interpreter for a couple of years in my home town. Lack speaking practice badly at the moment though.

Offtopic: why nobody ever mentioned my english is good. Does my english really sucks? Anyway here in Singapore many singaporean speak Singlish or so called broken english (meaning English 70%, Chinese 10%, Malay 10%, Tamil 5%, Other dialects 5%). :mrgreen:

Anyway, nice car you have. Congrats. I think I am using final drive ratio from your car. Whats your gear ratio?

That's probably because ur english is really good. :P It may be as good as everybody else's on here and no one just notices.
Saw ur car today on the forum - impressed by ur hp increase, unbelievable. Ur hp is just twice as high as mine - my car has 71 hp. Well I'm looking into my manual now and it says my main gear ratio is 4.105, and I got a 1.2 SOHC engine.

i love you guys from around the world!! i'm glad you are all on the forums. for me it is nice to see other owners from around the world and what you are all doing with your cars!!

Thank you! It's sad guys we can't see each other on a club meeting. Well now I'd better haul ass outta here as long as I receive good appraisal. :P

you both have good english, if you want to see bad english find some us dominated forums and try to read what they say.

I'm 50% hungarian, but I've lived in the U.S. for most of my life, and know only english.

my family is so many generations diluted at this point that our german heritage is completely gone. all thats left is the beer, and its not even real beer, its rootbeer.
