Overall Rating (averaged) 7.56

Small displacement and tall gearing make for an awful fuel mileage.  Within city limits, the Aveo managed 7.98 km/L--a figure equaling the 240 horsepower Honda Accord.

A good car if not for the Honda Jazz, Toyota Vios and even the Kia Picanto.  New Hyundai Getz to debut soon may leave Aveo in the dust.
