Ferrer again asked for a review, so here it is.
It's recommended to watch and/or having previously viewed TG 12x06 beforehand. Or read my Aveo5 review.
As I stated a few times now I bought an Aveo5 in April 2009 that my parents ended up loving more than I did, and they offered me to take over their lease of their '07 Cobalt LT if I'd pay 50% of the Cobalt monthly payments. I am no idiot so I accepted. The only thing is, I can't drive it during weekdays, my dad uses it. I've got it when it matters though, every nights and Saturday to Monday all day long. Good deal I think.
The odometer of my car is reading 25 860 km as I write this.
So here we go, here's my review. *enters JC's Fiesta review segments*
Is it practical?
It's got a big boot, but its opening is rather small, so I can't fit my 72-packs of beer easily. Once they're in though, it's all good. It's also got plenty of legroom in the back when the front seats are in my driving/sitting position (I'm 5'11) so you can shove a lot of stuff in there. Like 72-packs, for example. I can fit a bicycle too.
Is it economical?
No. Even with careful driving I can't seem to get better gas mileage than 10.9-litre/100 km (22 mpg) city driving. Theorical range is about 415 km.
Is it fun to drive?
For what it is, yes. I drove the Civic and the Lancer, and they were better IMO, but the Slo isn't bad at all. It's also quite fast. 0-100 in 8.3 seconds, 0-160 in 16.8. Tried.
Will it break down all the time?
It's under warranty so it doesn't bother me too much, but so far the main problem is its brakes. I have read the front rotors (it's got drum brakes in the back) are rather prone to warp, and they did. And they're still warped as I write this. Also I've been through 2 sets of pads so far. Otherwise nothing to mention.
Is it easy to park?
I have got a sick (I mean sick) spoiler pulling mad downforce that doesn't hide my rearview and tells me where the rear end of car is, so yes. Piece of cake.
What if I go to a Shopping Centre and get chased by baddies in a Corvette?
Getting chased by baddies in a Corvette happens once in a lifetime, and it happened with the Aveo. And as I stated in its review we forgot to remove the cap on the lens. No footage.
Is it green?
As I mentionned earlier, not quite.
Can I afford it?
Yes.
What If I'm asked to take part in a beach assault with the Royal Marines?
It would probably work but I can't be f***ed to bring it to the UK.
