Hey, its cool to be honest. I guess u are right. I have driven an Aveo before and they're nothin but crap. It was a manual and the trans was sloppy, wow. The throws are too long, the clutch takes a lot of effort, and the shift pattern is a bit odd - reverse is on the left side. The inside of the car reminds me of a KIA, man is it cheap!!!!! The fabric is blaw and seems dated. Plus the acres upon acres of cheap plastic and its hard plastic. I am also not crazy about Cobalts either. I feel more comfortable in a Focus than an Aveo (I feel more comfortable in any Ford compared to anything else). You may pay more for a Focus, but if you compare them closely (especially inside), then you will understand why you paid more.
I also realized, the sedan is already out, but there haven't been too many of them. The hatch model sells more.
