Hi, I just bought a new g3 this week. It's an automatic sedan with ABS. I'm a new driver but this felt really nice to test drive. I live in Canada where we get lot of snow and temps around -40C in the winter. Driving will be about 60/40 (freeway/city).
Reading the negative reviews is making me a bit nervous. Thankfully, I went ahead and purchased the extended warranty.
Let me know if you love your sedan (or if not.)
all those reviews are written by ultra liberal honda fan boys
dont worry, you got an awesome car, the extra warranenty is a good thing for any car though i find it pointless as the only thing you will have to worry in the future is the timing belt, but the warrenty wont cover it i dotn think
welcome to the forums
i agree. the people who reveiw aveos typically consider an audi a "daily driver bearable" car, and anything with less features than an audi is acceptable at best, when you take even more away, it it not good for that car. the aveo has no features. so it will not reveiw well.
i did notice something about the G3 today. it has a smooth license plate light cover with no holes.. (shaved badge ftw)
i seen some G3's on a lot yesterday and they looked so much like aveos, just with a different badge :P
they could have made a hummer aveo 8)
welcome
where in canada are you?
i'm in nova scotia
I'm in a rural part of central Ontario.
Sis-in-law has an '08 Aveo hatch which she's pleased with. She recommends adding good snow tires for the winter. We get a lot of lake-effect snow here.
I'm picking up my new g3 this Thursday. So excited!
I'm so happy that I found this board. Nice to meet you all. Thanks for the welcome.
I'll post pics when I get my car.
I welcome you from Waterloo.
So what options did you get, mmmmmm
not many if i guessed :P :P :PQuote:

I got a few options. I wanted ABS brakes and that came with side airbags. I needed automatic. They threw in a sunroof, AC and power locks/windows as part of the package. I know there's more to go wrong now but I bought the warranty and keeping my fingers crossed. Moving up from a '99 Sunfire with no extras so I'm excited. The interior is a big part of what sold me. Still can't get over the roominess.
Well that sounds like the works :lol:
the inside is huge, compared to the sunfire i think, ABS is good too
i didnt know AC was still an option
AC came standard with automatic.
so AC is not standand on a standard :P
i dont think automatic will be an option for much longer, standard tranmissions are becoming a bit dated
dated? manuals will be around as long as there are sports cars and people who like to be in "total" control.
and personally manuals are better, more gears, and higher top speeds than automatics 90% of the time.
idk, the cheapest model of the challenger i think it was has auto standard and the 370 i think has a 6 speed auto only, or so i read somewhere
im not saying that they are going to disappear, but just try to sell a used manual, i dont know any people that drive stick lol :P
i have owned almost 60 cars (would need to take a count to figure the exact number) and flipped dozens more than that. more than 99 % of the were manuals. never had a problem selling any of them.
autos have always seemed to sell faster and for more, about 1k more or so for half decent car, or when it comes to miatas, autos are about 3k or more :cry:
that must be a florida thing, since its flat. a manual miata pulls a premium up here. even the 91's go for 4-5k..
I wish I knew how to drive manual. But, like many females, I'm more comfortable with auto.
There were so many nice looking manuals to choose from when I was looking at used cars. I'm glad I was forced to keep searching cause that's when I found my Wave. 8)
damn, any 1st gen miata here thats a stick is more like half of that :idea:Quote:
