Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Following the Aveo sedan's redesign in 2007, most auto writers described the car as looking more expensive than it really is. That sentiment carries over following the hatchback's minor facelift for 2009.

• "A full-featured economy subcompact built by General Motors Daewoo in Korea, the Aveo is a competently designed four-door with sheetmetal that blends smoothly together to present a neat package." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "While the Aveo sedan is not as cute as rivals Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris, it does look far more substantial and upscale than one might expect at its price point." -- Motor Week
• "For 2009, Aveo features new looks inside and out and it's nearly as cute as a bug's ear. I keep comparing it with the Hyundai Accent in looks, purpose and feel, and it stacks up well, though the Accent is more attractive to my eyes." -- Post Chronicle
• "The Aveo5 gets a bigger split grille and a new rear end (without the gaudy chrome strip that violates the back of the Aveo sedan), and the wheelarches are less pronounced. Though the Aveo5's schnoz looks a little too big from some angles, it is, for the most part, a pretty good-looking little car." -- About.com
• "It at least now looks like a member of the Chevrolet family. Considering the Aveo's previously amorphous personality, that is a very good thing." -- Washington Post
