Review: The Aveo

After driving the 2010 Chevy Aveo LT for the past 24 hours, I have to say it is a major improvement from the Chevy's I rented in the past.  It seems that Chevy shaped Saab and Saab has changed Chevy. The quality of the build is good.  The creature comforts are not half bad.

Now for the reality. The Aveo is power starved even at this altitude (which is near sea level).  I am not used to having to floor a throttle down in a car to make it up a hill. 

Throw in a turbo, update the interior and improve the accessories and one could sell this as a small Saab.

Where the tires touch the pavement: I give it 2 out of 4 cylinders.  Almost there, but still a long way to go.
