OT: mechanics/car guys, could use some help buying a used car

[LaUniversidad]

I’m trying to find a used car for under $12K. My main requirement is reliability and something that will last a long time. My initial search for what’s available in the area has revealed the below possible options (all under 100K miles). I’d love feedback on what the best of the bunch are and which to avoid entirely.

2010 Toyota Camry
2011 Subaru Legacy
2006 Honda Accord
2005 Mazda RX-8
2014 Chevy Equinox
2012 Volkswagen Jetta
2013 Honda CR-Z
2011 Nissan Murano
2014 Jeep Compass Sport
2012 Nissan Sentra
2008 Hyundai Santa Fe
2010 Volkswagen Jetta
2013 Hyundai Tuscon
2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
2010 Mini Cooper
