I find this article very interesting as I bought a 06 aveo to replace my 97 metro. My aveo is going to cost me around $3000 less when I am done rebuilding it, it was a total loss car before I had it. I work for a large auto salvage yard and have found out by running vin numbers through the local GM dealership final drive ratios for a possible swap out of gears. A Chevy optra has final drive ratio of 3.56 compared to an Aveo's 3.94 I am going have to wait though until I can try them out in core transmissions before I will try them out in a good one. I'm sure that that swap would help with my fuel mileage.
