This is the Toyota Starlet, the Honda Civic, the little entry level car to car ownership. I know many drivers who first started out in the 90s with the little starlet and civics HBs. The Aveo5 is really quite like those cars.
It is cheap, relatively plasticky and underpowered. But that's not the point, it stands for the freedom of the open road. It might not be getting you around fast but it allows you to go where you want to go. And at a reasonable price, might I add, petrol costs included.
Most of us would go on to own bigger and better cars but we really don't quite forget the first car we ever bought. The Aveo5 is that sorta car.
