Replying to: backy (Feb 22, 2008 9:20 am) In most well designed small cars you are safer in a off set frontal accident with a box frame vehicle. The smaller car will pivot around the side of the larger vehicle often crushing in the floor area of the driver, while crushing the legs of the driver of the large vehicle. The box frame failure to collapse is main reason for the higher death rate per million miles driven in many large vehicles.   I disliked the Aveo. Try getting A/C, power steering, power brakes, power windows, automatic, rear defroster on the same Aveo. You can't. GM feels that the Aveo does not have the power to operate all those options at the same time. Toyota 1.5 VVT-i motor has the power to operate all available options at the same time. One minor problem. The Yaris electrical system does not generate enough electrical power to run the rear window defroster. So power is drained from the battery. So the rear window defroster should be turned off as soon as possible. Once the Yaris is warmed up keeping the rear window free of frost, without using the rear window defroster, is not a problem.

Replying to: bamacar (Feb 02, 2008 8:17 pm) In the Philippines, I have browsed that the Yaris performs well than the Aveo   In fact, one magazine gave the Yaris an excellent 5 stars while the Aveo had a 12/20 score when it was tested   The Aveo in the Philippines has a 1.5 Ecotec engine with 84hp (which is the least powerful among rivals)   While the Yaris has a 107hp VVT engine. In fact, the Yaris sedan is called as the Vios, which is the best selling vehicle in our country   I advise you to shop wisely and test drive. Just giving my opinion.   The Yaris takes the top cake here.. Replies to this message: wifes07aveo (Aug 20, 2009 6:39 am)

Ah - helpful. I did hear the Italians are basing the next Ferrari on an Aveo too. Replies to this message: wifes07aveo (Aug 21, 2009 10:51 am)
