Yeah, motor clearance was one of my big concerns with the Aveo. It could be an issue with any fwd car for that matter. It has really long input and output shafts which will make it a really tight fit. I spotted a BMW 328i for sale in Calgary today. Sucks that I didn't see it before I went to Calgary. It will likely be gone before I can do anything about it, but it may be an excellent candidate. I don't know yet if it would work for my son, and it is over my budget, but it would make a sweet EV.
