The Aveo comes in three models with the LT model seen as the deluxe of the three. All of them are hand gearshift models, but the LT offers a very fuel-efficient automatic transmission that makes for easy driving. Price wise Chevrolet is right on the money with these cars.

To improve even more on the four-cylinder engine’s fuel consumption, Chevy reworked the valves adding a variable timing factor. More power, less fuel guzzled – a stroke of genius.

Some drivers may waste a bit of fuel getting used to the hand gear systems as they tend to have a bit of a stretch between them. But should you prefer the automatic shifts, be assured that the LT shows a definite increase in fuel savings due to the swift changes of the gearbox.

Chevrolet also worked on the overall safety aspects of the Aveo, as they know that huge a drawback in the small car market is the feeling drivers have that these cars will not protect them during an accident. They have introduced side placed airbags in the front of all their models and designed a nifty anti lock system for the breaks.

National highway traffic safety administration tests revealed the Aveo earned a five star level. In these crash tests this is the highest safety award a car can get for protecting the driver. Passenger’s safety features earned four stars for the front passenger and three stars for passengers at the back during a side impact.

Available in two body styles namely a sedan model and a four door hatched back model, the Aveo appeals to most buyers. Seating five passengers with comfort, the redesigned interior impresses with standard features like the stereo AM/FM radio combination with separate auxiliary jack, wipers with intermittent settings, four speakers for great sound and OnStar in all models.

The more deluxe LT model boasts an improved nine speaker stereo CD player with optional keyless door access, satellite radio and electric windows / central locking to choose from.

The standard cloth interior finish is a great step up from previous models that lacked a bit of luster in this department. Many small cars have storage problems and the Aveo also have a small baggage compartment, but the LT surprises with a bit of extra packing space in the back.

City drivers are drawn to the Chevy Aveo as they search for a cheaper and safer ride amongst the small cars.
