I picked the Cavalier based on personal experience. I would, however, use the cav temporarily until you can get on a more solid footing financially, and then buy yourself a reliable daily driver.

The cav is very basic, but solid transportation. Its good points are its reliable engine and transmission, and low cost.

Bad points: Body rust (plenty if its a coupe), potential hassle with worn sensors, rough ride. If you get into an accident or if it gets hit, don't worry about fixing it because of its low value.

If you can get a year and a half out of the cavalier then you'll do well. After this period, look to getting a new or low mileage used car.
