Hi Scotty, Hope you are having a wonderful week! I absolutely love your videos and I was wondering if you can help me pick from one of these options (cost in CAD):
1. 2017 Subaru Outback 3R Limited $21,888 114,000 KM - 2 Owners
2. 2017 Subaru Crosstrek Sport PKG $21,888 109,898 KM - 1 Owner
3. 2018 Hyundai Santa fe Sport PKG $21,729 84,672 KM - 1 Owner
4. 2016 Mazda CX 5 GT AWS 2016.5 $20949 111,853 KM - 1 Owner
5. 2016 Honda CRV EX $21990 105,983 KM - 1 Owner
All have clean Carfax.
Which one should I go for? It is my first used car in Canada. I will use it primarily for commuting in the city and highways. It will be used by my wife. I will really appreciate your guidance here. I plan to keep the vehicle for next 5 years.

Carfax is virtually meaningless since not everything is reported to them. (A flooded or wrecked car could be "repaired" in someone's back yard and Carfax would be none the wiser.) It can be used however to help spot rolled back odometers.
You can find Scotty's car reviews and a used car buyer's guide near the bottom of the main page and can find failure trends of various models at carcomplaints.com.
Avoid Hyundais and six-cylinder Subarus if you value your wallet. Whatever used car you buy it is imperative to have it checked out by a good mechanic before purchase.
