My son has a 07 Aveo 4 dr. Your right the 5th gear is way too low. I took the car last Fall to Salt Lake City from Cincinnati, OH. I averaged 38 MPG going 70-75 all the way. I feel if the car was geared taller it would get very respectable numbers.
I liked car other than that. Yea, it is a small car. I had a Metro from 1993-2000 and it is put together nicer than my 93 Metro IMHO.
Also the price was right. He bought the car out the door for $10,500 air included. This included $800 discount for my GM card, no trade and tax and registration. The Yaris was about $4000 more out the door where we live. The Aveo also had the 100,000 drive train warranty.
The hatchback would be a great candidate for a Basjoos type of aeromod if you could get a taller 5th gear.
