I drove a rental 2009 Aveo 4 door for a 200 mile road trip. Flat terrain, never over 70 MPH, no A/C on, with just 2 people in it. It got only 28 MPG. And the seats sucked. Got home and priced it out with the options it had on it only because I was curious what this piece of shit sold for and the thing retailed for over $17K.

I'd much rather have a Japanese-made car than one made in Korea.

I also got only about 27 mpg during a week long rental in a 2010 Aveo. Same conditions that I get 38-40 mpg in my Yaris. This is a car that is slower than the Yaris yet also feels less substantial (very tin car feeling). And the Aveo couldn't take corners to save its life.

face it: regardless of the car, a bottom-of-the-line vehicle from ANY manufacturer is going to suck.

i like our aveo sedan. we use it as the family car. its good and comfy on the highway and i prefer the seat to the oem yaris seat. don't get me wrong its not a mercedes....

What do you get for MPG in your Aveo compared to your Yaris? Just curious.
