Before you consider brands, do the math and figure out how much you will be ahead by buying a second vehicle. Factor in depreciation, interest, insurance, maintainance, etc. Unless you are driving hundreds of miles/day, you'll be going more in the hole than you are now.

The guy in the Silverado got out of the truck and walked to the nearest house to use the phone. The lady in the Kia was cut out with the jaws of life and med-flighted to the hospital. Seeing that made up my mind that I will pay extra for gas knowing I will have a better chance of walking away from an accident in one piece. There are lots of vehicles on the road bigger than that cute little cobalt.
