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.

Nice link... I prefer car and driver, consumer reports, etc. They are all in agreement that GM sucks in terms of reliability.

toyota, honda, hyundai, ford fusion, mits galant, .... don't see a GM vehicle until SUV/trucks. No Kia listed and image below shows them worse... odd considering the engine and other main parts are identical. Point is, no GM. Toyota is really by far the best bet.
