TCC’s Bottom Line

If most of your driving is around town with little interstate travel, the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo and Aveo5 are worth a look, especially if you want a bow tie out front.

The 2008 Hyundai Accent delivers econocar basics with a high-quality interior and fun handling for a great price.
