I always had good luck with a Cavalier. I had a 1996 Cavalier for a couple of years, and it was the most die-hard car I had ever owned up until I totalled it. It had some 185,000kms on it when I first got my hands on it, but two years later, I had racked it to just over 410,000kms and it still ran like a dream. I actually recall having laughed at my room mate the one day because his brand new Pontiac G6 wouldn't start when in the insulated garage with the fuel line anti-freeze, but no block heater plugged in. I went out to my trusty old rust bucket of a Cavalier in the -42 C weather, and tried to start it. The funny thing was that it sounded like a dying animal at first, but it started on the first try. They really are the iron horse.
