Aveo is built by Daewoo, one the worst cars built in recent times. My niece had a Daewoo and her husband is an excellent full-time mechanic, he said after tearing down the engine for the 3rd time to replace push-rods or something that was enough for him. Besides like everyone is saying it looks like cr@p and it's got to be the plainest looking vehicle on the road.
The xA is not in it but the Aveo is: Fuel-Saving Subcompacts

Xa dashes and ATTACKS with Scion stars of fury - 300 damage
Aveo tries to DODGE but cant - 300 damage
Aveo ATTACKS with Chevy Puke - 2 damage
xA DASHES and deflects al most all damage - 1 damage
xA uses SCION RAMPAGE and eats the Aveo for lunch, spits out the rubber, melts it down and makes a bouncy ball to go play with other real cars.
Aveo dies.

I have an '06 5spd xA and my sister has an '06 automatic Aveo LT Hatch. Say what you want, but her car came standard (in LT trim) with things you can't even get on an xA from the factory...i.e., cruise control, power moonroof, keyless entry, alloy wheels, foglamps, spoiler, side air bags, ect. A few of these things you can get from the dealer or aftermarket on an xA, but you'll pay out the a$$ for them. Her car, fully loaded with the auto, was just a tad higher than my 5spd xA with side air bags, thanks in part to GM's heafty discount.
The ride quality of her car is vastly better than mine....and I'm talking stock to stock here, not after I lowered the xA.
Engine/power are comparable. The Aveo's engine is just as refined, if not more so, than the 1NZ in the Egg. In fact, I think it's rated a few ticks higher in both HP and torque over the 1NZ.
Also, GM, in order to complete better with other "imports", offers not just the 3yr/36k bumper-to-bumper warranty, but a 5/60 powertrain warranty on all Aveos as well.
As for looks? That's subjective. There are people in my family...granted they are non-car types...who say they look a lot a like. Personally, I prefer my xA on looks.
So far, she's had the Aveo for about a year and 22k miles. Not a single issue. And she's getting about 35 MPG in a mix of city/highway driving.
I'm only calling it like I see it...not trying to sway anyone either way. In the end, I prefer my xA. But to think that all other cars....read Korean....are junk, is probably short-sighted.

Um...No...
I just took delivery of a Scion xA... but I considered an Aveo.
However, I couldn't get bought at the Chevy Dealership as I already have 3 cars in my name... (don't ask)... and this is my 4th.
This was bought purely for gas mileage. I'm really happy with the xA, however, the new Aveo has a MUCH nicer interior than the xA.
The picture you guys posted earlier is from LAST years model.
This is the NEW Aveo interior.
So, let's just keep it real, shall we?[/img]
