Aveo = GM = Followers not leaders

[bobby]

Just curious, why did you buy the Aveo? Maybe I missed it, but I have never read a good review on that car. I'm always curious what motivates people to buy cars which are so resoundingly panned by car magazines, on-line auto reviews, and Consumer Reports. The Cobalt and the Pontiac G5 are too pretty awful cars which come to mind.

Why do people buy them??

GM employee discount, mainly. my wife bought it for her mom, originally...but she no longer needed it, so we took it back. its a good little car, imo. havent had any real problems with it at all. interior isnt quite as nice as the yaris, but i like the seats better. would we buy another one? not w/ the old e-tec, thats for sure.....and i really dont like the looks of the new aveo, either. but would i buy an 09 yaris?....negative. equally as ug.
