The 2006 Chevy Aveo is entering into some stiff compeition in the market. One anonymous blogger called the car a "rental car cheapie." It certainly is not very expensive, coming in at under $13,500 for the base model. Similar to other cars in its class, the Aveo gets great mileage - 27/35 mpg - by virture of its smaller engine, a 1.6-liter inline four, and lighter weight. Standard safety features include front and side airbags as well as rear-seat head restraints.
