It's obtuse to lump all 4 cylinder engines under one umbrella for comparison. Despite sharing the same number of cylinders, there is a vast range of characteristics these engines can possess. It's pointless to compare the Aveo's 1.6 I4 to, say, the 2.4 in a Malibu -- the latter come with a car that is over $10k more expensive.

It shouldn't come as any surprise that it's a bad car. The Aveo was produced by two companies that both went bankrupt.
