Just rented a 2010 Chevy Aveo hatch on vacation

[Kal-El]

Wow, talk about Yaris withdrawals.

The Aveo is a POS (sorry to the member who owns one).

It is a tin can. No road noise isolation, really bad handling, slow, and of course ugly. The center dash pressed against my knee as well as the flimsy pull out cup-holders. The speakers are crap as well. The brake feel is sudden.

I averaged only 27 mpg in the same driving conditions as I get 38+ in the Yaris. In a car that seemed to be half the size, made of tin foil, tiny, skinny tires, and I get the mileage of a mid-size car!?!? Hello? I rented a sub-compact to save on gas.

So after this experience, I now feel like I'm driving a Lexus. I can fully appreciate the money that Toyota invested in all the right places in the Yaris. The Yaris feels twice as solid, is very quite and sound insulated, handles great, is faster, far more efficient, and way better looking.
