Fusion (but discontinued now so could be high mileage)
Camry (standard adaptive cruise control and almost always in sporty SE trim)
Altima (SL trim)
Impala (no adaptive cruise but nice engine and interior, also discontinued now)

Stuff I would avoid:
Other trim Altimas (slow and cheap interior)
Sonata/K5 (always cheap base models)
Malibu/Charger (cheap base models, outdated)
Maxima (decent car ruined by poor design - ridiculous front corner blind spots caused by thick windshield pillars and trunk opening that's basically a mail slot)


Of course if you can get a Volvo S60, that's miles ahead of the other cars. The volvo even has a nicer interior than the C-class/A4/3-series and is faster too. But you're not likely to find it on aisles
I agree on most points, but the Charger is a pretty decent car. Most of National's Chargers these days are nicely equipped - leather, sunroof, premium audio. But they almost always have the frumpy base trim wheels, which makes no sense.
