The 2011 Chevrolet Aveo is a compact sedan car at a cheap and affordable price tag. It does not offer the superior standard features or premiumness that you can expect on higher-priced sedans. The interior is airy and visibility levels are good but it lacks space management. The engine can be termed as underpowered and the acceleration levels are not the quickest. However, it offers an excellent fuel economy, which compensates for the insufficiency.
