Expert Reply:

For a 2008 Chevy Aveo hatchback you would need to look at hitches for the Aveo5. None of the hitches for the sedan will fit, including # C11331, but there are 2 hitches that do fit:

Curt # C11306
Draw-Tite # 24741

If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.

If you go with the Curt hitch Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or car go carrier) per their warranty requirements.
