Better interior materials are promised, with optional woodgrain, metallic, and carbon-fiber-look trim on the options list. Storage and convenience bins are found all over the interior, and some higher-end features like cruise control, XM and a large sunroof are also offered on the new Aveo5.
In terms of running gear, the Aveo5 is strictly by-the-numbers Asian economy car: MacPherson struts, a torsion-beam rear, and a short 97.7-inch wheelbase. Fourteen-inch wheels are standard, while 15-inchers (and anti-lock brakes) are optional.

Test Drive Review
By Ken Oberheide | Posted: 31/7/2008
I just test drove the 2009 Aveo5, and it is definitely much improved. Compared to the Yaris and Fit, which I also drove, it is much quieter and more comfortable. Peppiness is the same as them. The interior has japanese quality, but that front end style is a mess. It needs more bumper fascia and less grill.
