| I didn't say anything right away as drifting off topic is inevitable. However, I do believe it is time that you shifted it back to focusing on the Aveo. Not that your comments haven't been interesting! This just is not the right place to post them.

I heard on NPR radio, as well as on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno that the old Metro's are selling for up to $7000 as people are attempting to get more fuel efficient cars. For just a little more money, they could get a base-line Aveo with a 100K warranty. I wonder why GM hasn't really started pushing the Aveo for, say, a secondary "commuter" car for folks to drive back and forth to work. If I remember the 98 Metro I owned correctly, it got only slightly better mpg than the Aveo, and the Aveo is certainly a safer car...

The thing I remember most about that car was the interior...The cloth was rock-solid, and would resist any stain. I used to tell my wife that I thought you could pour hydrochloric acid on it and it wouldn't have any effect... Still, I would gladly give up a couple of MPG to get the additional safety features of a new Aveo over the old Metro. The Metro was certainly not a car you wanted to get hit in on the expressway....

I'm thinking of getting a chevy aveo but am concerned about how well it will stand up to our country gravel roads. Being a rural community, most of our population live on county roads and drive at 30mph on them. Like everyone else, we need a small economical vehicle and the aveo seems to fit the profile, but nobody has said anything about driving on less than perfect roads and how these type of conditions would affect the car overall. Our larger toyota is still tight after 9 years. I know I can't expect that on a small compact car, but Scion people are trying to tell me that anything less that a Scion (toyota company?) won't last. Any comments?

Replying to: busiris (Jun 10, 2008 4:54 pm) The two Isuzu models were the GEO Storm which I think was an Isuzu Impulse, and a small four door sedan which I don't recall the name. From Toyota they just had the Corolla based Nova that was eventually called the Prism. Back in the 1970's Chevy got their first mini truck from Isuzu called the Chevy Luv. |
