CHEVROLET AVEO (2004-CURRENT)

We Say...
Going head-to-head with the Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris, you'd think this refreshing little number from Chevy's actually good. For one, it's cheap. Despite Giugario styling it's boring inside and out. Decently finished and speced (for the 1.5 LT), it doesn't set your driving loins on fire, and neither is the 1.5 good at fuel economy.
Decently finished and speced well...
...for a Korean product.
