Chevrolet’s entry-level little car starts at $12,000. With a 108 hp Ecotec 1.6L VVT engine, linked to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission, it is a firm car to travel from point A to point B.
I drove a Chevy Aveo with automatic transmission and thought it was a bit too slow. My main complaint though goes to the extremely rough suspension that bothers even on the best of asphalt. It is hard, probably with the intention of keeping the vehicle on track; however, it could be less uncomfortable, like the Honda Fit.
The interior finishing uses a lot of plastics agreeable to touch, leaving a good impression. The seats are comfortable and there is a central armrest for the driver. All commands are pretty straightforward.
The safety items are all their, including dual front and side airbags. However, power windows and air conditioning are optional. Other standard equipment include: electronic measure for tire pressure, foldable parted rear seats, remote control keyless entry and a CD player with auxiliary entry.
The Aveo is a good option if one just needs to get to a destination with low fuel consumption and a little comfort.
