I think Chevy's entry level car has been a rebadge job for about 4 decades now. Unfortunately, after Suzuki (Metro/Firefly etc.), the recent ones were Daewoo designs.

I know of a mechanic who maintains delivery fleet of Mirages and says they're much better than the Spark, which he also has experience with. Tim and I are pretty familiar with the Aveo (another Daewoo... we run its forum) - activity is almost all problem-related.
