Since I have owned a couple of C5's I have always had a second car as a daily driver. My first daily driver was a 00 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Good truck and fun to drive obviously not wonderful on fuel. My daily driver now is a 00 Accord Coupe V6. Does ok on fuel and I have done a few things to make it looks pretty nice. Here is a pic these can be had now for fairly cheap and there are still some very clean ones out there!

An early gen C4 would be a great choice but,whatever you
decide you'll have peace-of-mind knowing your C5 is virtually
out of harm's way.
Good Luck

Have to agree with the suggestion on getting a used Honda Accord. Reliable cars that get very good gas mileage.

had mine at college for my last yr and a half.... good choice to not bring it. I was always afraid of making enemies bc as soon as they found out about my car i would be screwed. Not to mention there were footprints on my hood one morning and a giant loogie another time...jelousy will make drunk kids turn into bigger aholes then they already are. if i were you, i would look at a 2 door accord as well, or get a cheap lease on a cobalt or somthing of that nature
