You really think the Chevy is the least attractive of those choices?  The RS model is hot.

The only thing worse than Chevy is GM.... oh wait I mean Chrysler/Dodge/pile of crap.

Unless you're looking at the large trucks, GM/Chevy are horrible and continously rank shit.

 

Just read Consumer Reports or search reliability/repair histories. The Kia or Toyota would be far better, likely Toyota overall best.

Chevy Cruze was rated one of top 5  compcat cars last year.  On Edmunds and KBB it's ranked one of the best compact cards for it's size.  The Cruze has been extremely well received.  Same with Chevy's crossovers.

TO get a Kia over that would be a mistake.  Kia are affordable but ask anyone who drives/works on them that they are terrible cars.

To say that Kia are "terrible" cars is just incorrect, now alot of their older model cars were shit but they have came along way since then. This guy is looking at making a major purchase and we still have "fanboy" opinions over a freaking car!!! The 2012 Optima rated very good amongst reviews and is highly recommended as being a great car at its price. Not to say the Cruze isnt a good car as well, but the statement about the Optima is just wrong.
