if you go with thule, go with the square rack. this will allow for you to use a yakima mounting hardware too.
yakima's are round but the mounts are made so if you have a square bar, you can just cut off some extra plastic on the mounts to use for a thule rack. thought that was smart of yakima to do.
also if you look on c.l. for yakima racks you can find some good deals. i got mine from c.l. for around $50, the mako and the hully rollers.
i have mine mounted to a honda crv, your outback is going to look big compared to your aveo.

I know the feeling. I was getting killed on fuel on my Tundra so I bought a Yakima rack for my wifes Honda Accord, my Tundra gets about 15mpg compared to 22mpg on the Accord. I only use my Tundra if I'm fishing local or going to LJ in a group of two or more. Do like I do and try to get a group together that will carpool.
