I was looking around at a couple 2007s (my budget is unfortunately quite low since it will be my first car) and I also saw a bunch of Dodge SXs and Pontiac Sunfires, etc. Could you give your opinion and/or steer me in a the right direction?
It depends on your luck. When the Aveo first became available I would have said no. They were ugly and very prone to problems. The new ones do tend to work better but it depends on what you have come acrose. Today for the most part they are an average car in reliability.
