in my opinion, their are 3 types of car buyers. people who can afford whatever they want to drive, people who drive what they can afford, and people who buy something just to see how they can customize it LOL. I myself drive an aveo because it was in our budget. Feature and comfortwise it has everything I needed. as extra money came up here and their I added things to make my aveo more enjoyable to myself. even though my aveo is nickel and diming me, it has never let me down. its an 04 with 140,000 miles, a/c still works, overall fit and finish, some things could have been better quality, but for a low cost car, I know it is not a lexus
