Re: Review: 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5 LS
I recommend this reviewer read the April 2009 Car and Driver on page 24
Quote:
A Stripper Exposed: Nissan made its most affordable car, the Versal sedan, even more affordable for '09 when it lowered the price by $2890. The result is a $10,685 Versa 1.6 base. We wondered: Just what does a cheapskate have to give up?
Bare Market: Manual mirrors are unpainted; there are only four exterior colors.
Losing power: The smaller 1.6 liter engine is down 15 horses to 107.
Inches matter: 14-inch wheels versus 15 inchers
Key my car: There is no remote key fob to open the doors or trunk.
Time out: There's no clock.
Sing out: Good, there's no radio!
Total Darkness: Seats, trim, and plastic are black, and there is no lighting in the glove box or trunk.
Sweat equity: Air conditioning is a $1000 option.
A gear down: The stripper comes only with a five speed manual.
Roll 'em: Windows and locks are manual.
Butt aches: Could it be the thinner seat padding?
