Chevrolet

A great little runaround & good first car

Advantages: Responsive, roomy, lots of storage places etc etc!
Disadvantages: The boot isnt large, if alot travelling then engine may struggle, steams up easily

...and don't like about the Chevrolet Matiz 1.0 SE, as a newly qualified driver (I passed the practical driving test in October 2006) and will put in as much detail as I can. Now to start with, it was under sad circumstances that I got this car, for my first car which I got second hand last November (2006) was the original Matiz, the Daewoo model. However, back in March I unfortunately had an accident driving home from work along a narrow country road, ...
...I decided on a newer Chevrolet model as I had come into a bit of money before the crash and as they offered a very good deal with money off servicing etc. plus it had the spec. I'd told myself I wanted my next car to have, which is basically electric front windows (no more straining my elbow to open the drivers side window!) and central locking - no, even better than that, REMOTE central locking! Okay so your probably thinking that these are hardly ...

Review of Chevrolet Matiz 1.0

If ronseal did cars...this would probably be it

Advantages: Cheap motoring "What You See Is What You Get"
Disadvantages: The more image concious won't like it

Purchased "57" plate 1.6 SX 5dr 1 week ago. The purpose was to have a cheap motor that I could slaughter on the motorway. I have found it reliable and willing. I have reached the grand old age of 27, and until this car I have been badge obsessed (VW Mazda and Vauxhall)...and in my 10 yr driving history spent a tidy penny for the privilege of a simple badge. I have heard people slate and praise the car equally, but let's break it down for what it ...
...lot larger then a cinquecento for all the family. Fiat still has the cheap reliable image but a-lot less performance. When I hear people complain about the finish and standard of driving WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!! when you spend on average 1/2 to 2/3 of the price compared to an equivalent badge car (a/c, Alloy, 4xelectric window etc), Its like going to MacDonald's in a suit and expecting table service! Onto the car it handles the motorway well and is ...

Review of Chevrolet Lacetti 1.6

Small car, big name

Advantages: Cheap, cheap to run, equipment, easy to park
Disadvantages: Too small, lacks power outside the city

Mention the name Chevrolet to any car enthusiast & it will conjure up an image of the huge American V8 saloons & SUVs that dominate the America car scene. Along with Ford, Chevrolet is among the best selling cars in America & famous for producing a number of classics such as the legendary Corvette sports car, the muscle cars of the 1960s & many more. It’s a true American brand, up there with Coca Cola & McDonalds, yet Louis Chevrolet who founded ...
...his own vehicles. The Chevrolet Motor Company was founded & very quickly taken over by what became the huge General Motors Corporation (GM) & Louis died a near penniless man. During the entire 20th century Chevrolet & Ford dominated the domestic car scene in America. So where does all this leave this review on a little Korean built car with a famous name? Daewoo in Korea was partly owned by GM in America & produced a series of vehicles made under ...

Review of Chevrolet Matiz 0.8 S

LOVE MY VAN

Advantages: COMFY, LOADS OF SPACE,RELIABLE & IDEAL 7 SEATER
Disadvantages: OVERTAKING (LHD)

I AM A FEMALE DRIVER OF THE ASTRO VAN & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I ENJOY DRIVING IT EVERYTIME I GO OUT. ITS LUXURIOUS, LOADS OF SPACE & A GOOD ALL ROUND VIEW FOR ME TO SEE.ITS CHEAP ON INSURANCE & TAX & MPG IS NOT OVERALL BAD(about 28mpg).

Review of Chevrolet Astro Van

SUV lovers check this to know more about this SUV

Advantages: consistent engine performance, comfortable to ride, classy looks
Disadvantages: wide turning circle,lacks a bit in safety,weight towing limit of 2,041kg

The Chevrolet Blazer is one of the most popular and powerful SUVs from five consecutive decades, The 4.3 litre petrol produces 193bhp and 250 lb ft of torque and all this is directed through four-speed automatic gearbox, however a five-speed manual was available in entry-level LS model which is a two door model. Its Autotrac system automatically engages four-wheel drive when you need it. The Blazer can hit 0 to 60mph in about 10sec only and all this ...
...model upgraded with leather upholstery, power driver seat and overhead console but inside environment doesn't feel especially American. The lack of centre three-point safety belt on the rear seat is an inconvenience, but at least all used Blazers are equipped with air-conditioning, cruise control and alloys on both LS and LT models. The Blazer's handling seems sloppy and its turning circle wide. Faults include spotty build quality and low-grade interior ...
