Daily drivers "worth buying" ?
I would stay away from anything with a Dual Clutch Trans (DCT, DDCT, SMG) or a CVT pretty much forever.
The other thing you want to avoid like the plague is the Ford Escape. Biggest pile of crap on the road by far.
I have a Chevrolet Cruze that's a great car - good MPG, drives well, haven't had any issues. Some other cars that I would recommend are Pontiac G6, Honda Accord, and the Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix. I know they aren't Mopars but a lot of newer mopars you can find for cheap (sebrings, avengers, calibers) aren't very good.
