Reassuring points
Reliability- The first `Aveo` stays mechanically simple, and the petrol engines are easy to follow when the basics were respected.
- The `1.2` and `1.4` cope well enough with daily use if timing-belt, cooling and ignition service were not pushed back.
- With a healthy front axle and a gearbox in order, the `Aveo Hatchback` still makes sense as a light, economical city car.
