No RS package here in the states. Sometimes they have dealer added on packages that they make up and add special names. Only LS and LT here.

Hi KarenS:
 
Do you mind me asking how much you paid for your AVEO LS Sedan with the 15" alloy wheels?
 
The total price of my 2007 LT with RS package was $18,675 including destination charge and air con. tax, but not the PST and GST. I also received a discount on the $18,675 of $985 for a free slide/tilt sunroof. Oh and my car is a 5-speed, not an autostick.
 
With all taxes included and the discount subtracted my AVEO RS was $21,297.76. I shopped all over the place. I used to have a 2001 Toyota Echo Coupe that I traded in for the Aveo. I compared the new 2007 Yaris Sedan by Toyota and added similar options to the Yaris Sedan and the total for the Yaris is an incredibly high $25,493.97 and a sunroof isn't even offered on the Yaris. So I went with the AVEO.

2005 Aveo sedan with 80,000 miles by jayman1967

I wanted a car with highest possible MPG at the lowest price and that is why I bought a Aveo. I drive it 170 miles day from my farm to the city where I work as a professional. The car now has 80,000 miles on it and climbing fast and I have had no issues what so ever and I get about 38-42 MPG which is all highway. I am hoping the car can go to 300,000 miles.
 
I have not met any other Aveo owners with the amount of miles I have on mine. The only thing I did to it was change the front tires at 70,000 miles and the back ones are still going and of course change the oil every 3,000 miles and I have always ran the higher octane gas since it runs better and I get higher MPG.
I believe the owners manual is off, it says to replace the spark plugs every 32,000 miles which I have not done yet and the car is running like a charm. I believe it should be 100,000 for plugs.

It depends on the kind of plugs that you have. Some need replacing sooner. If unsure, pull the plugs and look at them to determine replacement.

I saw an AveoRS LS at Dennison Chevy in Richmond when I took my AveoLS in for servicing. It was an Aveo LS sedan with chrome door handles and SS style "RS" on the driver's door.

Last I saw on the Chevy website, there was no listing for an RS. Could it be a dealer installed package?

That's what I originally said back in July, but CN7059 said he saw one in Richmond. Is there a Richmond Canada?

My husband bought me my Aveo as a surprise. I was driving a 97 GEO Metro and I loved it and really hated to give it up. It ran great. It took a while to warm up to my 2007 Aveo Hatchback but once I started driving it - it was great. It handles very smoothly and so far not one problem. Gas mileage is not like I thought (25mpg) - I think I should get more but did improve a little bit after I put 34psi in the tires. So far, I love it - no complaints!

Yes Richmond is part of Vancouver, so that makes sense now...the RS is Canada only. The Canadian market is much different from the USA car market. Here in Canada over 50% of cars sold are either subcompact or compact size (about the same as Europe), while in the USA the sales figure is around 13%, so GM was very wise in offering the RS package to Canadians who are more open to the idea of buying a fully loaded smaller car over a base version larger car.
