There's a yellow suzuki aerio with black wheels down the street from the shop that always catches my eye. Dorkishly cool.

Sleepers and vehicles w/ the WTF factor get my vote, no matter how demented they are

There are plenty of good handling cheap cars. Look for a DOHC Saturn... a 5-speed SL2 or SW2 for a sleeper. Neons aren't bad either.

There is a couple of guys that used Volkswagen GTi Coilovers on their Aveo... they look good when they are dropped on Coilovers I must say...

Not long after the Aveo appeared a dealership in Pensacola had one on display with a nice aero body kit, wheels & tires, and it had a perfect stance. It was quite impressive looking. However, I finally got around to driving one in 05 and was very dissappointed. Anything can be improved though.

Can you edit your post and remove the quote? The linkbacks are how these bottom-feeders rise in Google rankings, which is the only reason they incessantly spam boards like this one. By quoting them you're just helping them out.

If anyone gets an Aveo and puts drop springs on it i will buy the stock rear springs for FIVE AMERICAN DOLLARS (+actual shipping). They're an upgrade for my Insight..

The replacement for the Aveo is using an Ecotec. So maybe an Ecotec?

You can make MK2/3 VW coilovers work on the Aveo.
