Well I've been the owner of an 08 Cobalt for 3 years and have never had a problem with it (the Cruze is the Cobalt's replacement) so I trust Chevy and would give them my word. So I'd say you can't go wrong with a Cruze.
I personally just don't like Toyota so I can't recommend you get anything made by them. But go ahead with a Kia, they seem decent but I don't know anyone who has one so I can't tell you if they're a good/reliable car. Maybe go with the Forte over the Optima, it's more comparable to the Corolla/Cruze (other cars on your list)
