TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2011 Chevrolet Aveo is vastly improved from first glance; we'll reserve final judgement until road-test cars are made available.

Look beyond the appearance of the 2010 Honda Fit, which admittedly won’t quicken pulses. Honda nails the rest with the peppy, spacious, and frugal Fit.

TCC Likes

Much better looking than the outgoing car
More fuel-efficient
Better performance

City-friendly steering and maneuverability
Impressive crash-test protection
Tremendously versatile backseat arrangement

TCC Dislikes

"Aveo" baggage?
No chance of 19-inch wheels in production

Tall, bulbous exterior puts function over form
Where’s the Bluetooth?
