I know there arent a lot of GM fans on here but the best car investment i have have ever made is our current 07 chevy impala. We picked it up 3 years ago as a lease return with 24,000 miles on it for around $11,000. Full size car with full size power(3.9L v6) and i can still get 30mpg+ on the freeway. And currently at 79,000 miles the only thing i have dont to it is, 4 tires, battery, heater vent accuator($35), and i had to fix a wire on the shifter(free fix). Anyway if you find something like this for a daily driver you still have the rest of your bank roll for a toy on the side.
