I agree, the Aveo is a good value for the money, I payd $9000 for my Special Value otd, the cheapest Fit I could fine was $15k+dealer fees and Honda was not wiling to negociate at all. Toyota was wiling to deal but their cheapest car was $17k! Also looked at the KIA Rio, a little nicer than the Aveo but the Aveo was a hatch and I knew if I ever wanted to sup it would look great, the Rio was just too conservative of a design to look good modified. My car has 55k now and so far only thing Ive changed was the Serpentine(acessorie) belt. Now I'm getting ready to do the timing belt, autch!
