Well we did it.
Of all the cars we have looked at, the 2008 AVEO Hatchback LT in yellow was the winner ;>
I love it. We took possesion of it Saturday. We even drove it on a long distance trip (well 4 hour drive). We of course used the break-in suggestion the whole trip.
This thing drives pretty good for such a small vehicle. And I have to admit, I am loving the yellow colour.
My wife is happy, since that is going to be her commuter car. She took it to work today for the first time and said it was a good drive in.
