The single thing Yankee about the compact Aveo automobile is it’s Chevrolet name. Built in Korea [or in China] by GM Daewoo, the Aveo is America’s price champion coming in at just under ten thousand dollars. That’s right; you can still purchase a new automobile in the United States for only 10 thousand bucks excluding taxes, dealer prep, and destination charges. Let’s take a harder look at Chevy’s bargain basement folks hauler.

Available as either a four door sedan or as a 5 doorway hatch, the Chevrolet Aveo fills a vital niche in the Chevy line up as an entry level econocar. Priced just about 5,000 greenbacks less than Chevy’s next most expensive model, the Cobalt, the Aveo allows for Chevrolet to contend for a chunk of the youth market. The Aveo is expressly targeted to compete against similar models from Scion, Kia, Hyundai, and Toyota.

Air will cost additional, but the base kit list does include an AM/FM radio, rear wiper, a load cover, and side impact air bags for the driver and front seat passenger. Option packages include better sound, air, an automatic transmission, and a number of other accessories.

With a 97 inch wheelbase and a curb weight of almost 2350 pounds, the Aveo certainly is a possibility in the lightweight category. Headroom of just about forty inches allows taller drivers less complicated access, but one can only question whether any one would find the Aveo all that snug to start with based on the vehicle’s size and the standard of the seating?

No official word as of this writing if and when the new model will make its Yankee debut.

While the Aveo is certain not to win many awards, it provides for consumers possessing limited means a cheap style of transportation. For Chevrolet, who was lacking a basic home grown model, the Aveo brings in buyers who might have otherwise bypassed Chevy dealers and headed directly to Scion or Kia for their first car. Beyond that the Aveo is a truly forgettable car and first time buyers may want to consider a good used car instead.
