Chevrolet car reviews

For American buyers, Chevrolet is the very definition of a popular mainstream brand. When parent company General Motors bought the ailing Korean company Daewoo, it decided to rebrand the Korean-made cars as Chevrolets in Europe. Essentially, Chevrolet is now GM's budget brand in the UK. 

Chevrolet has had some sales success with cheap cars like the Matiz and Lacetti but overall its products leave a lot to be desired. Which? members also rate dealers towards the bottom of the pile.

Chevrolet Aveo reviews

The Chevrolet Aveo is cheap, certainly, and there are attractive discounts available. An updated version of the Kalos, it's one of the former Daewoo models marketed as a Chevy in Europe. No stability control and a very poor crash test result, however: should the Aveo still be on your shopping list? Check out the full Which? verdict. 

Chevrolet Captiva reviews

The Chevrolet Captiva is a sister model to the Vauxhall Antara - but it comes up cheaper, model-for-model, and has the option of a seven-seater cabin. Front- and four-wheel drive versions are offered, with a 2.4 petrol or 2.0-litre diesel engine. It's a roomy, affordable SUV - but can it match up to classier European crossovers? Read on for the full Which? verdict. 

Chevrolet Cruze reviews

The Chevrolet Cruze is a roomy and big-booted four-door - and it's cheap. It's better-quality than previous European-market Chevys, though not the sportiest drive; it comes with 1.6- and 1.8-litre petrol engines, or an economical 2.0-litre diesel. A credible, money-saving alternative to a Jetta or S40, if you really want a saloon-style boot? Check out the full Which? verdict. 

Chevrolet Lacetti reviews

Sold from 2004, the Chevrolet Lacetti is a small family-sized car available as a hatchback or an estate (known as the SW, or station wagon). It's not the best all-rounder and it's best viewed as basic budget transport, but it is very cheap to buy, new or used. Is it worth a look? Read on for the full Which? verdict. 

Chevrolet Matiz reviews

The Chevrolet Matiz is a cute-looking city car, very cheap to buy and run; it was phased out during 2010 and replaced by the roomier Spark mini-MPV. It's a likable little thing, but now feels very dated, and it's well behind the best in its safety equipment and crash protection. Worth a look as a budget runaround? Read on for the full Which? rundown.  

Chevrolet Orlando reviews

The Chevrolet Orlando is a seven-seat MPV, though it's not the largest - think Zafira rather than Galaxy. As with other Chevrolet products, it's very competitively priced. But the Orlando's styling won't suit all tastes.

Chevrolet Spark reviews

The Chevrolet Spark is a comprehensive improvement over the Matiz it replaces; it's low-priced new or used, and promises to be economical to run. However, it does feel like a car built down to a price. Cheap and cheerful or cheap and nasty? Which? gives you the lowdown.

    Chevrolet Kalos 1

    The Chevrolet Kalos, sold 2005-2008 (and for two years before that as a Daewoo) is now a cheap secondhand buy. It's easy to drive and park - it's notably narrow, useful for nipping around town - and came with 1.2- or 1.4-litre petrol engines. Not the most stylish of superminis, but a good no-frills runaround? Check out the full Which? verdict.
