Fit sport vs Aveo
Technical info~
Fit: Aveo:
hp 109 @ 5800 103 @ 6000
torq 105 @ 4800 107 @ 3600
redline 6500rpms 6500rpms
cc 1497 1598
Comp Ratio 10.4:1 9.5:1
curb weight 2471lbs 2365lbs
It looks pretty equal and seem to be a driver's race....but of course hondas get all the aftermarket, but i was looking around and only noticed it wasnt anything other then bolt-ons (ie. headers, exhausts, and intakes) and braces which any can fab up given the time...while the aveo doesnt really seem to have any big company aftermarket, but there is sort of a secret aftermarket since parts that work for other engines (honda d16 and a commonly tuned vauxhall 1.6L) work in/with the aveo's engine but not many owners know....i figured id put that in there too since i figured someone was bound to bring it up...alright theres the fact, now it is time to discuss :D

same with the aveo, def not a drag car...id like to see a race at the track....all i have are lower springs on my aveo right now and it handles a ton better...id like to run coilovers in the front but i have to finds one that fit...heck id race my auto aveo against a fit in a couple of months (because i am getting aggressive sport cams with header and full exhaust put on) just to see how they compare...i mentioned it before but our aveo forum is working on some rules and regulations for a b-segment car competition to propose to a company/magazine, just to see where every car stands

I'm with the others. If you were looking for straight line acceleration, you bought the wrong car.
I've been driving a Mazda Protege5 for the last three years. Can't say I've ever given a thought to which cars I can out-accelerate. But now that I think of it, I can take a Fit, and an Aveo as well. Not much else.
The twisties are where it's at.

the is my second thread where it seems like no one can read...i didnt say i bought it for straight line acceleration, i said i dont want a drag car and id rather take it to a track, like circuit track for time attack or something....i know the aveo rocks on the twisties, when i get board i just hop in my car and take it down every abandon backroad i can find with hills and turns...im sure the fit is the same way...at first i wanted to be fast but now i like the idea of staying within b-segment class to compare and be competitive within the segment

Well, there's no question that the Fit is going to out-handle the Aveo in stock configuration...and even with some severe suspension mods the Aveo will struggle to match the Honda's combination of steering feel, comfort and sheer handling ability. Beyond that, the Fit has the better shifter, clutch feel, build quality, resale value, reliability, and versatile interior.
That being said, I just told on of my friends to go buy an Aveo simply because it does offer so much when you consider the price you can actually get an 06 model out the door for.

I don't think the Fit sport compares to the Aveo as well as the base Fit compares to the Aveo.
Aveo comes standard with-
DriveTrain
5-speed manual transmission
Suspension
front independent suspension front stabilizer bar
MacPherson strut front suspension torsion beam rear suspension
Tires and Wheels
steel wheels 14 x 5.5 in. wheels
P185/60R14 tires all season tires
NO ABS!
Exterior
Length: 152.7 in. Width: 65.7 in.
Height: 58.8 in. Wheel Base: 97.6 in.
Curb Weight: 2343 lbs.
Performance
Acceleration (0-60 mph): 10.8 sec. Braking Distance (60-0 mph): 127.1 ft.
Base Fit:
Exterior
Length: 157.4 in. Width: 66.2 in.
Height: 60 in. Wheel Base: 96.5 in.
Curb Weight: 2432 lbs
DriveTrain
5-speed manual transmission
Suspension
front independent suspension front stabilizer bar
MacPherson strut front suspension torsion beam rear suspension
Tires and Wheels
steel wheels 14x5.5 in. wheels
P175/65R14 S tires all season tires
Safety
ventilated front disc / rear drum brakes 4-wheel ABS
The FIT sport costs alot more and has better wheels and tires-
15x6" alloy rims, 195/55-15 tires.
Aveo doesn't come in Automatic transmission.
Probably it's fun to drive and with the right tires it would be OK.
Don't expect lots of performance upgrades but even better wider rims and tires would work well. Fit and finish or stereo would not be as good as the FIT sport and probably the body would not be quite as rigid, leading to some squeaks and rattles sooner or later. Good price on the base Aveo all things considered.

I test drove both. If you want to save money and don't really care about handling, resale or aftermarket following then buy the Daewoo. I own 2 GM's and I don't mind saying that the Daewoo doesn't compete. My father in law sell's Pontiac/GMC and I told him that there's no way. Even with the Pontiac version which looks nicer on the interior. The reason you don't see that car in auto mags is the same reason I just gave. Same deal with the Sunfire I drive. I have to make alot of parts myself. and the resale was shit. This is why I kept the SF and now I'm taking it apart.

Ive already said before that i hate the auto and plus i didnt buy the car it was a birthday present and i didnt know how to drive stick then. So my plan is to add power til it breaks and Ill swap in a stronger manual transmission...I can still semi control the shifting with the hold mode on the auto

I don't think the Aveo's a bad car, even if it is a Daewoo, though I know it won't have the resale value of a Fit, and it probably isn't as reliable (but, my fiance's Aveo hasn't had any problems in 2.5 years, and his idea of regular maintenance is an oil change, so perhaps it's more durable than I believe it is).

Aveos come in automatic. My fiance has the sedan in auto, and I drove a rental hatch Aveo for a few days that was auto, as well.

everybody knows that aveo is a korean car,im not trying to say that korean cars are no good,its just that i cannot compare the quality of HONDA to DAEWOO,a company that filed for BANKRUPTCY because they cannot produce quality cars that people loved to drive,your numbers might be close,but not QUALITY,RELIABILITY & PERFORMANCE,.you only get what you pay for,but in your case its a gift that was given to you,so your lucky that you dont have monthly car payment,the only thing is its just a @#$% korean car.

ha funny thing is now I am making the monthly payments and I didnt get mine for the cheap price you can get them now because I got one of the first ones and they were lik 14k....heck i wish i could have gotten it during the daewoo buy one get one free deal they had. i dont really consider it a lose to buy something that is crappy stock because no matter if it was crappy or nice I would be taking everything apart, modifying and replacing anything I can with aftermarket parts...stock suspension sucks, who cares everyone braces and replaces with stock suspension with aftermarket.

nobody wants to race aginst DAEWOO especially in a track,dont you get it?theres no honor to beat a KOREAN car in a race period!!!if you still believe that your DAEWOO can compete then thats you,you can modify as much as you can but you cannot change the FACT that is KOREAN car
....no it doesnt have magic seats, i just took the back seat out and put a bed in there....serves the same purpose as the magic seats :rolleyes:
