My friend's mom and some of her friends (4 or 5 people total) went on a roadtrip 7 or 8 years ago. Friend's mom wanted to rent an Aveo because it was cheapest and had the highest MPG rating, friend tried to convince her to go a size up (can't remember what that would have been). They went with the Aveo and had a cramped trip in a car that could barely do the speed limit against the winds in Wyoming and ended up getting worse mileage than the larger car was rated for.

Had a coworker who had a ~2008 Aveo, seemed like it was always needing a little part here and there.

There are economy cars and there are cheap cars. I think we know which category the Aveo falls under.
