The 2009 Chevy Aveo brings a fresh design and better fuel economy to the market for sub-compact cars. Many drivers that would never even consider driving a smaller car have sat up and noticed this new edition to the Chevrolet stall.

You can opt for one of three models where the Aveo LT represents the flagship of this range. Hand gear models as well as an automatic version - available in the LT series only - is available. As far as price is concerned the Aveo comes in as very affordable.

To improve even more on the four-cylinder engine’s fuel consumption, Chevy reworked the valves adding a variable timing factor. More power, less fuel guzzled - a stroke of genius.

The automatic gear models prove even better regarding consuming fuel, as the hand gears sometimes cause unnecessary engine revs while the driver gets used to the longer gear shifts.

Chevrolet also worked on the overall safety aspects of the Aveo, as they know that huge a drawback in the small car market is the feeling drivers have that these cars will not protect them during an accident. They have introduced side placed airbags in the front of all their models and designed a nifty anti lock system for the breaks.

Their efforts have paid off as the NHTSA awarded the Aveo their highest appraisal on safety - 5 stars- for the protection the Aveo gave it s driver. Passenger safety received four stars for those sitting in front and at the back three stars was awarded after side impact tests were done.

You can choose between two different styles of Aveo - the sedan or the 4-door hatch back model. All of them seat five with ease. The interiors see some refreshing as well, and standard features on all models include a AM / FM radio with 4 speakers including an auxiliary jack, wipers with intermittent settings and OnStar in all models.

Stepping up to the LT deluxe model, you can choose a more superior cloth and metal trim interior finish. Extras on this model include 6 speakers, a CD player, satellite radio, electrically controlled access, windows and central locking.

All models have cloth interior finishes on the seats and side panels with the LT model giving you a larger choice of superior cloth, metal trim finishes and a bit larger storage in the back cargo space. This has proved to be problematic in many sub-compact vehicles.

The Aveo has proven to be a good choice in small cars to save money on daily commuting.
