Even as basic transportation, the Daewoo-produced Chevrolet Aveo fell so far short it became a byword for mediocrity.
Handling lacks the agility native to most small cars, the steering is imprecise, and the body leans a good deal in corners.
The 103-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine delivers just adequate performance and unimpressive fuel economy.
The ride isn't too bad, though, and a tight turning circle makes parking easy.
Drivers sit fairly high with a good view and access is relatively easy.

The 2011 models were the last.
