      Top 10 small cars from Forbes Mag.

      Heres a link from Yahoo Autos done by Forbes magazine on their top 10 list for smal cars. It mentions the Aveo.

      07 Aveo 5 (wifes car gone but never forgotten)
      02 Suburban (Eats gas stations as snacks)
      12 Cruze Eco 6MT
      (46mpg daily? Holy crap!)
      12 Sonic 2LT (Wifeys new wheels)

      It kind of downed the Aveo (first by calling it the Aero) but by their "Cheaper is not as good statement," and by stating it's 5 year repair cost as over $3000. Personally, I don't know of any Aveo owners who have had to pay over $3000 in repairs in the first 5 years of ownership, unless they have not taken care of it, or unless they have wrecked it.
      For the most the Aveo owners I have known (who do take care of their cars) have had little to no costs other than regular maintenance, tires and maybe a light bulb here or there.

      I dont care what anyone says about the Aveo, I love mine! Of course if I could upgrade to maybe a Cobalt SS/TC I wouldnt argue...
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      I know bro. I ain't downing you are anything. I am just making remarks about the article. I am glad that the Aveo got some recognition, it just pains me that many of these magazine witers have their heads so far up their bums that they can't see where value and cost meet (sometimes collide).
      I think their numbers were a little off.

      It was a good read though, and thanks for posting it. For reals.
