for the Aveo, is that if you blow the extra $395 or whatever for the leatherette, it actually dresses the car up pretty nicely. FWIW, I don't think the Aveo is a horrible little car...it's just that in this class, there's so much better out there, for not much more money. I wonder though, what the average transaction price is for an Aveo? Even if the MSRP doesn't seem like much of a bargain, I wonder if out-the-door, the typical Aveo might cost a lot less than an equivalent Yaris, Accent, Versa, etc?

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 05, 2009 11:48 am) Accent is pretty roomy inside too, though not as much as a Versa or Cube. Same with Elantra (ESPECIALLY the Touring). it's really impressive how much room Hyundai and Nissan have put into the interiors of these smaller vehicles. |

Replying to: steve_ (Aug 05, 2009 4:02 pm) So, for about $1000 more TMV, you can get a Honda Fit. Would that Fit have a sunroof though? Only personal reference point I have is a friend of mine recently picked up a new 2009 Honda Civic EX-L sedan for $20,000, out the door. Well, when you figure that $16,500 Aveo could probably run around $17,500 once you factor in taxes, tags, etc, I'd say the Civic for $2500 more is worth it. Real leather, a bit roomier (even if you lose the versatility of a hatchback), peppier engine, more economical, and most likely a much safer car. And REAL leather, versus a facsimile...albeit a good fascimile! I still have a gut feeling though, that the hypothetical $16.5K TMV Aveo is rolling out the door at somewhat less than that, though.
