Yes, the hatch has ALOT of room with seats flipped and folded. That is one of the reasons I purchased it.I needed the cargo room for hauling maps for my job. I find myself not using that feature very often though as it is a little difficult to do. It is easier to just fold seats down even though there is not as much cargo room this way.I still like the looks of the hatch over the sedan and people are really surprised at the room in the interior when they see it!! Also this model is a little cheaper in price!! Hope this helps!! Happy New Year!!!

 I removed the front bottom slide bolts and folded it up, hold fold up's with bungee cords.Slide my wife's wheelchair in and out,no problem.Bungee on chair.Lots of room.

I have a hatchback as well and just love it for all the room. However, I was not aware (call me stupid) that the seats folded AND flipped. I knew they folded down but is there another button you have to release to flip them?

Its not in a book.The rear seat,front mounts are (2) slip pins held onto a mount on the floor with a snap washer holding it in.You would normally remove these for seat removal.

Another factor:
Crash test ratings for the 2008 sedan and hatchback are not the same. Check them out.

Just want to thank everyone who chimed in on this topic. As an update, I purchased a new 07 Aveo sedan LT this afternoon. This, of course, was after a lot of debating, research, and test drives. Probably drove my dealer crazy, but hey, they'll make their money I'm sure. Anyway, got the 07 sedan for a great deal; 1.9% financing thru GMAC. Sweet car. White with leatherette interior, sunroof, 6 disc player, steering wheel audio controls. Handles and drives well. Drove quite a bit and the freakin' needle barely moved. Peace everyone.

How Do You Keep Cats Off Your Car ???

Here's a different topic! After I spend all the time to get my Aveo spotless, and dry...the next morning I find cat hair all over the roof and footprints on the hood and windshield!! I cant keep the damn wild cats off my clean car. They dont do it much when it's dirty, but the day it is clean, I find it is covered in cat hair on the roof and the footprints on the windshield and the roof. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep them off the car? I cant afford a cover right now...so thats out. Is there anything that I can put on it to keep them off..something that smells bad to them, or something they won't lay on and that won't scratch the paint?? Any hints would be VERY much appreciated.

"Creaks and klunks" at slow speeds sounds like suspension/control issues to include: wheel bearings, bushings, control arms, struts. Best to find another Chevrolet dealer who has more experienced and trained techs.. Also have the service manager ride with you at slow speeds so he/she can hear and feel the noises.

You might want to try a chemical spray called "Boundary" which is a dog/cat repellent. I do not know if it is safe to spray on the car metal. Perhaps you could spray a perimeter around the car. More info.> Google >Enter "Boundary pet deterrent"
If cats are resting or wandering on your car, they most likely have "marked" the car as their territory with urine. I would recommend cleaning your tires/ rims/ mudflaps/ bumpers with a very strong cleaner capable of removing the cat urine.
If the above treatment plan fails, I would get one badass dog to guard your car.

The spray will ruin the 'clean car'....and might ruin the paint. No cat pee on the wheels, and I check for dog pee all the time, these damn animals mark anything so I check and wash the tires and wheels all the time and spray with a urine killer if I fine any.
Thanks for the idea. But it wont work. I was thinking of laying something slippery on the roof so when the cat jumps up,it flys off! But what won't scratch the paint? A sheet of felt? I dont want to make it a comfortable meeting place for them to sleep in a group! And old sheet?
