I'd avoid the Aveo. A friend of mine had one briefly, and he felt it was a very low quality car.

Another friend of mine converted a Dodge Neon to electric, with no issues at all. The Neon and PT Cruiser are basically the same platform. I think a an EV-PT would be pretty cool, although the automatic isn't ideal, and like you said, it's heavier than a Neon.

I don't have any personal experience with Mazda's, but anyone I've known who has one likes it.
