Chevrolet Kalos reviews by year of make: 2007 2008 Read all reviews
![]()
Had’ Katie’ the Kalos for five months or so now. Our nickname sums up how both my wife and myself feel about her. A cosy, comfortable hatchback that represents remarkably good value for money. ’Katie’ is well put together, and everything works fine, just as it should. The heater is really efficient, as is the air conditioning. Although some of it looks, well, a bit utilitarian, it’s the overall driving experience we both like. Would we have another? We will certainly consider the Aveo as a replacement eventually, as long as the price remains competitive. We like it, for what it is reliable, comfortable, and well within our limited budget.

I had this car on hire; it had done 17,000 miles, so I suppose it’s not entirely fair to compare it with a new one, or even a carefully privately owned one, but ye Gods, the gearbox was atrocious! The travel on the clutch pedal (in 1st and 2nd, particularly) was so long before the bite that my foot was off the floor and my knee nearly up to my ear - quite exhausting on a long, varied drive. Once in 5th, though, on motorways, it managed fine till we reached any upward incline - then there was a bit of a struggle - but it is only a 1.2, after all. I liked the dash instruments, but the seats and other trim were a bit cheap. However, if you can bear the gearing, and just want a runabout, this would be OK. Not for me, though.
