Earlier this month I visited eastern Canada
I flew to Bangor , Maine
Then I rented a car to drive the last five hours
to my destination.
My rental car was a bright red Chevrolet Aveo.
It was virtually new,
with less than 8000 miles on the odometer.
It handled superbly, and had all the power I needed.
I loved it! It was responsive and fun to drive.
I have a warm place in my heart for tiny cars,
but I had hardly heard of the Aveo,
though it’s been available
in the USA
Made in South Korea
it’s available as a 4-door sedan
but the model I rented
was a 4-door hatchback called the Aveo5.
(1.6 litre, 4-cylinder)
It had a moon roof.
I see that in 2012 the Aveo’s successor,
the Chevy Sonic, will be built in the USA
It will have a larger engine,
more airbags and ABS,
which will make it an even better choice
in the subcompact market.
