I still say it's all personal opinion.
I like my Aveo.
As a matter of fact, we went to a comedy club last night, guy started picking on Aveo's. I yelled out I love mine (I am not the type of person to do that, but I wasn't going to let him continue that assault )
Looking back...
The 2008 Civic Hybrid wasn't sold for less than $3k over MSRP, which was already considered too high for an 'affordable' car. It was criticized for poor fuel economy, poor acceleration, a small trunk (the seats couldn't fold down also), and a lack of a manual transmission.
The Fit got worse than Aveo ratings for fuel economy. It also had fire starting electric windows standard.
There goes 2, that have no business being on the good list, to make it even. It is kind of sad when on the Yahoo! autos section, the owners rate the 3 worst as better than over half the ones on the good. Yahoo, you need to check your own resources before killing your own credibility.
