The american aveo and astra were both inaccurate representations of their original counterparts. This is why I would not buy either. My ion, with a bigger engine, gets better economy than either, while being much quicker. Part of this was gearing (aveo), the other the engine (astra). Both cars have versions superior in both acceleration and economy (because both can be had simultaneously). Too bad gm can't bring a proper econo hatch over here.
