CHEVROLET AVEO (2006-CURRENT)

We Say...
The sedan arrived a year or so ago, and now here comes the 5-door model. Riding on a new platform, it's a bit roomier than before. The sedan looks tidy, if a bit bland while the hatch is downright weird. The sedan's powered, by a smaller, and oddly more powerful motor while the 5-door wheezes along with the old, thirsty 1.5-liter lump.
Chevrolet under cuts its rivals once again!
Only in price.
