Really? I've been in one and I liked the way it rode....
Yes. Really. A Kia Sephia will seem like it drives well if you drive it once.
It's the same way a POS rental car felt like a nice change from my nice car whenever I'd need to rent. And I'd think "well this ain't that bad". After 2-3 days it's fukk MY LIFE. Then if I had it for anytime from there the car would probably break.
Type "Chevy Cruze" into Google and see what it suggests. Click on the "Chevy Cruze piece of crap" suggestion.


No? just buy a used Honda or Toyota, why buy something you can't afford? Especially considering the fact that by the time you finish paying it off the new body will be in production for probably the same price ...Just buy used and learn how to maintain you car.
You can sleep right outside you job too. Walk to work. 

.... Newer used is the way to go.
