The Aveo 1.4 Base was the version that had all features except that it had steel rims and black handles. The next variant was 1.4LS which came with an electric boot release, and the third was 1.6LT.

The Amber metallic Aveo was one show stopper; bright with a lot of chrome courtesy LT.

I used to drive this car when my friend felt like taking a backseat.

Same with the Camry; used to drive her around when another friend wanted me to do some diagnosis OR when the guy was drunk after a get together.

Thank you. I do remember now. Aware of the 1.4 LS. Thank you for bringing back old memories.

Attaching a picture of me proudly standing in front the Aveo. Please note: I broke the left mirror and the left fog lamps. Credit goes to my rash driving style during college days of course :Frustrati

That one car in your list makes me so envious!! You are one lucky bloke to have owned and driven the WRX. I am not surprised that it was the best driver's car you owned.
