“The Aerio is a swift, gutsy, exceptionally agile little wagon -- an urban street fighter if ever there was one.” — Cars.com
“The 2.0-liter engine revs past its 5700 rpm power peak with unabashed eagerness. It's not as smooth as a Honda, but it's never harsh, and it pulls strongly with the 5-speed manual transmission.” — New Car Test Drive
“The approximately 5-foot tall Aerio doesn't look odd or gangly when sitting alone. But when it gets out into U.S. traffic, other drivers are bound to see it's noticeably taller than more traditional small cars.” — MSN Autos
