      Opinions vary... I consider 30mpg @ 70mph in a car this size to be pretty bad based on past experience. Had I come from a Full sized Dodge pickup getting 16mpg on a good day I'd have to say 30mpg would sound pretty darn good. My 05 & 08 Corollas both delivered a consistent 38-40mpg in the same driving conditions that the Aveo delivers around 32-34mpg in. The Corolla was a bigger smoother car and required nothing but tires and oil changes but I hate the way the new 09+ Corollas drive, thus the Aveo in my driveway now.

      For what I paid for the car brand new, I can't complain. For the difference between the price of a nice used 08 Corolla and the price of a new Aveo, I can buy a lot of gas....and if I drive slow enough, the Aveo can beat the best MPG I got with the Corolla. If in 3 years, my experience has been similar to yours, I will be an extremely happy Aveo owner and will likely stick with a GM brand. My first year with the Aveo has been pretty good; hopefully it will continue.

      I'm coming from a 6.0L Suburban that snacks on gas stations so I'm extremely happy! Anyway I still have the Suburban because I cant bear to get rid of it so I accept it even with its mountains of faults.

      Good for you. With Pontiac gone, the resale value of their models are going to tank. The wave you owned will be a hard sell, and you don't have to worry about unloading it anymore

      I wouldn't put too much into this brand loyalty line of thinking. Choose what's best, end of story. The Aveo does a fine job of getting you where you need to go, just like most other cars. Don't expect high quality, don't expect exceptional fuel economy, don't expect performance. It isn't horribly unreliable. It works. It's a simple point A to point B car. It does what it was designed to do. You can forget about being blown away in any respect though.

      It was good car for what it was. It got me where I needed to for 5 years and was cheap enough that I could have wheels while in University. I always said I wouldn't have one until the day I tried it. It really impressed me and I couldn't justify getting a Cobalt over the Wave. To me it was to get from A to B. It filled that purpose without missing a beat.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.
