Need a new daily driver

crash

Registered
My Daily driver Mark VIII got side swiped by a guy who ran a red light. The insurance called it a total loss. I need help deciding on a new daily driver. I'd like to get peoples thoughts, mainly dealing with reliability.

I'm looking for a 4-10 year old car and would like to stay in the $10k-20k range. I've pretty much ruled out anything from BMW and Audi/VW. No way I would own one of those outside of the warranty.

Ideally a manual transmission, but not a must. Don't care about fuel economy as my commute is 3 miles. Here are some ideas that I have after looking the interwebs:

2011-2012ish Cadillac CTS 3.6
2010-2013 Infiniti G37 sedan
2007-2008 Infiniti G35 sedan (hard to find those under 100k miles)
2013ish Volvo S60/V60 I really love the utility of the wagon
I saw a 2008 Volvo S80 V8 for $12k near me.
Mercury Marauder
Buick Regal GS
Volvo V70
Saab 9-2X Aero
2013 Lincoln MKZ

Any others to consider, or any of the above that are crap?

Thanks,
