Aveo5: My Review.

[fisetdavid26]

Ferrer asked for a review, so here it is.

It's recommended to watch and/or having previously viewed TG 12x06 beforehand.

Well the odometer of my car is reading 245 km as I write this, I haven't driven it as much as I wanted to, but it's not too shabby either.

So here we go, here's my review. *enters JC's Fiesta review segments*

Is it practical?

I don't care much for practicality, but two 24-pack and 3 beer kegs fit in the booth easily, so I'm good.

Is it economical?

As I said earlier I've done 245 km so far, and I started with a full petrol tank. The fuel gauge is reading 1/2. Theoretical range is ~500 km then, and it costs $30 to fill up from empty. Of course this isn't rocket science as it was reading 3/4 with 150 km on the clock, so not strictly accurate, but still it gives a good idea. So yes, it's rather economical. I've read a tank is supposed to be good for 600 km.

Is it fun to drive?

For what it is, yes. I've driven pretty much all of the entry-level ecoboxes and only the Versa tops it IMO. The Yaris is on par. It's incredibly easy to drive, throttle response is great and the brakes are very good. Steering is easy but feels connected, every little inputs do something. Obviously it would be a billion times better if I had a bloody manual tranny.

Will it break down all the time?

I don't know, but WARRANTY FTMFW. <3

Is it easy to park?

No I crashed 4 times.

What if I go to a Shopping Centre and get chased by baddies in a Corvette?

I forgot to remove the protective cap on the camera's lens when we shot that review. Sorry guys. I'm disappointed as well.

Is it green?

It's silver.

Can I afford it?

Ya, I wouldn't be writing this otherwise.

What If I'm asked to take part in a beach assault with the Royal Marines?

Beach landing from an U-boat wouldn't quite work, that giant grill would suck in so much water I'd sink in the blink of an eye.

I lol'd heartily.

I think all car reviews should be like this from now on.

Hehe, thanks.

[clutch-monkey]

if it's new presumably your fuel economy will improve as the engine wears in?

if this is badged as a barina here i think a friend of mine bought one, i remember thinking how i couldn't tell what the engine was doing (with music up i couldn't hear or feel it n/v/h wise)

Indeed.

I would promote David to UCPs official car reviewer.

Lt. Lulz has warned me about saying anything negative about Fiz' car.
So, all I can say is; I told you that grille is too big.

Damn great!

I didn't know there was actually a car behind the grille, thanks for the tip!
