When I first bought my 2006 Chevy Aveo back in October and drove it to work all my co workers were happy that a high school student such as myself worked hard to save up for a car and so all my coworkers and managers respected the car for it. On the other hand when I drove it to my high school all the popular kids who had almost brand new cars or their parents old car still having payments made they laughed at me for driving such a beat up looking little thing but I drive my 06 Aveo with pride because I can rub it in their face that I have my own car that my parents didn’t give to me or I’m not making payments on it and that seems to make them upset but it makes me proud. In other words yes the Aveo in the area of the United States where I live is considered a poor persons car but I’m proud to own it because of my 20 mpg on average and it’s my own car I worked hard for.
