Why you should buy this car:
Money doesn't grow on trees, you can only live in mom's basement for so long and you live in fear of $5/gallon gas.
Why you should not buy this car:
You care about acceleration, handling and looking cool.

Exterior Design: **
Call it the anti-Scion, with the Aveo trading avant-garde fashion for mature, predictable styling cues. Of course, that also means it trades the "I'm on my way to a rave" hipster-mobile image for the "I'm on my way to a mediocre job" commuter-mobile image. It's wholly unoffensive, and equally uninspiring.

jalopnik reviews
[In many ways Jalopnik is like a fraternity and as one of our newest members of the fraternal order also happens to be our youngest, we're hazing giving our college-enrolled "new guy" a task to complete before he graduates that's as simple as A-to-Z. Or to spell it out — 26 auto reviews corresponding in alphabetical order, and upon completion, we'll allow him to "graduate." Follow along at our special Tingwall tag as he goes from Aveo to Z06 and from auto journalist childhood to manhood. —Ed.] It's too easy to think of Chevrolet's Aveo subcompact as a toy. The diminutive size, stubby front end and a price that suggests you can buy one at Wal-Mart will leave almost all auto enthusiasts with few expectations. Get behind the wheel of an Aveo, and you can quickly confirm some of the most common stereotypes: things can get a bit crowded and it's as far away from fast as my East Lansing, MI apartment is from the birthplace of this re-badged Daewoo. But at the same time, the baby Chevy will also surprise you with touches that reassure you as long as you're not an enthusiast - owning a $14,000 car doesn't make you a second-class citizen.

Latest by n/a: I don't understand why people buy an Aveo new when they could buy many many better used cars for less. more »

The 2009 Aveo5 is out, looking fairly similar to the European Aveo that we caught debuting at the Frankfurt Auto Show a couple of months ago, including the same gaping overbite and unnecessary vents near the A-pillar. While not the sportiest looking vehicle on the road, the new Aveo5 does come with a new 1.6L DOHC Ecotec engine that sports variable valve timing and is good for 107 horsepower and 26/34 mpg. The updated "tall car" interior has the stomach to match its mouth, swallowing 42 cubic feet of whatever, which is a decent amount for the segment and more than a Scion xD (35.7 cu ft w/ seats down). The materials are also improved, including a mix of carbon-fiberesque finishes, faux-leather and wood grain. Standard features include side air bags, OnStar, a sound system with auxiliary jack for your iPod, optional XM satellite radio and a Five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. It's still an Aveo, but there's slightly more of it to love. press release below the jump.

Latest by n/a: I saw the 2009 Aveo5 at the L.A. Auto Show. It does look nice, it looks like they made some changes to it compared to the pictures in this article. It's much better proportioned than the above pics. more »

Frankfurt Auto Show: New European Chevrolet Aveo Has Huge Boot And Overbite To Match
There's a new Chevrolet Aveo hatchback for Europe and as we've already shown you, it's got a new front face with a gaping wide mouth. Still has the same great storage space and fuel economy it's always had and hey, now you can get an auto tranny on this as of now European only model. (Yes, we know a Aveo hatch exists in the US, but it doesn't have anywhere near as great of an overbite — yet) We'll actually read the press release when we've had a moment to breathe, but for the moment check it out yourself after the jump.More »
