Which Aveo you are looking at? Sedan or HB. If you are a sucker for convenient load space, get the sedan. The sedan has a taller roof for the rear passengers. The HB has the roof tapering downwards so you do feel that is not as airey as the sedan.

 

The HB looks very sporty and good on the outside otherwise. But the load space can increase a whole lot more when the 60/40 seats fold down beating the sedan in this aspect.

 

As for the rebate, check how much is the COE worth when you trade it in. This is the cash they return to you.

 

I suggest you not waste money getting the leather seats as the base prices are high now compared to the Robin Hood price of 55k I got them for. Forget the rims as well, upgrade to 15" wheels with the cash you got back. But be warned the wheels still look tiny even with this upgrade thanks to the comfort based suspension springs. The rear looks ok but the front is still high making the car still looking like a wheelbarrow.

 

FC issue? Not with the manual. Depends on your driving style. If you are mousey and drive like the Taylors, confirm get 12-13km/L at 70% highway miles.

 

The car is very nimble. I can squeeze in to any gaps in traffic I can exploit. Yesterday I beat a Grandis squeezing in into this space while exiting the BKE into KJE. I think that irked him a lot and after exiting he overtook me and cut into lane 2 while I was at. Was really close. I didn't have to hit my brakes for to counter his action but I find petty drivers pretty amusing [laugh] .

 

Digressions aside, get the base LS as it is value for money. A rim upgrade will be around 600 plus better tires. Still below 60k.

 

What to squeeze? The sunglasses holder. If you are getting the sedan, reverse sensors are nice if you are really into it but I prefer my own upgrade with rear facing cam with vid screen. The butt is rather high for this car and many cars who show up at my rear only appear as rooftops. [laugh]

 

Takes RON92 for savings but if you are bursting down the E3 at 150kph, suggest RON95 and above for performance.

 

See improvement in performance for 30wt oil but FC improvements with it are not as what you will expect.

 

If you want to push your luck. Ask the SE if the car can be tricked out with Kalos Sport suspensions. The Kalos Sport has lowered springs and stiffer dampers for better handling. Daewoo is under GM, see if they can make this request. See if they are willing to put in the Kalos Sport's strut bar as well. If you don't want any of these, I can buy them from you [sly]

aiya!! u r gone...i am looking at the standard package manual hb aveo.

 

I dont want the rims cos it looks filmsy (not nice). I may consider changing to rims later....I can forego the leather seats cos it's gg to be rather hot under the sun. I've causally asked the SE if I can get the seat fabric like the sedan (cos I think it look nicer) but she said can't. Other than that, the only difference (with premium package) is the 5 CD-changer.

 

I wanted to check with you about letting them scrap my charade. She says there's this 3% cut from my coe cos of some don't know what admin fees and it's not her commission. And I need to surrender my car earlier for processing if I want the coe to cover the new car cost.

What's this base LS?

This is because she wants to sell the COE rebate to a 2nd hand car dealer to get the cash to pass it to you.

What's this base LS?

A basic Aveo LS. Believe me, they call it LS here but you have no idea that the LS in the US is premium stuff. In US, an Aveo with no A/C but comes with handomatic windows and a HU with radio only is called Base.

okie...will try to squeeze the sunglasses holder. Wah! WHat's this kalos sport suspension?? sweatdrop.gif urs with this?

Will have if yours come with it sly.gif

Neutral Newbie

but if she's using the paper value from the dereg charade to offset for the new car, then there is no 3% mah. unless she wants to sell away the paper & take back the $$$.

Yes, but if she wants cash from the COE rebate then it is different story. She has to tell the SE that she wants to use the COE rebate to offset and not want cash.
