You could also ask for an extended test drive, and for the cost of a tank of gas, find out for yourself what the mileage will be doing your routine.

Just wanted to clarify my post a bit. I'm not trying to knock a known brand without having tried it and I have had 2 Chrysler products and both of them had problems with the transmissions as KidRock said,,,also a timing belt on one and fan belts on the other. Overheating issues on one and stalling out as well. These were brand new cars with barely 10K miles on them and the only reason I bought the second Chrysler was because I wanted to buy American and after the warranty ran out I continued to have problems. If you are a Chrysler advocate and like the brand buy a bumper to bumper warranty that runs at least 5 years,,,my experience tells me that you'll need it. I had friends who said the same thing about the 300 series,,,alway always buy the extended warranty.
