How's it going Scotty? Hope all is well, wanted on your opinion on which car to buy? I have around $11k to spend and the options I'm looking at are a:
2018 Toyota Rav4
2016 Honda Hr-v
2018 Toyota Corolla
Or a 2017 Subaru WRX
Including the Subaru, just because it's a manual transmission and I prefer to drive so. Though I'm skeptical since I know Subaru's from certain years aren't that reliable.
Anyways, would appreciate your opinion on which option to go with. These are all private sellers by the way
Decide which type of car you want first. You're comparing 2 compact SUVs (RAV4, HR-V ) with a regular sedan(Corolla) and a manual sport sedan(WRX). That's a broad spectrum of cars. Of those you've listed I'd go with either Toyota if they were low miles, well maintained and in excellent condition.
A used WRX has typically been beaten half to death and possibly subject to sketchy modifications by "enthusiastic" previous owners.
