I think Hyun/Kia are good to focus on. You’d get one fairly young with low miles, and possibly even CPO. I also like the Tiguan. I don’t know your space needs, but there are many CPO Chevy Trax abound. If you are a bit braver, the Jeep Renegade or Fiat 500X are pretty inexpensive.

A Subie should fill all your needs and be an easy sell on the local car market when you’re done with it.

Subaru is the obvious choice but resale prices are often silly, but there is a reason for that.
Hyundai Tucson. Good little cars.

Tiguan is all right, but if you care about dynamics and performance, the All Track is the way to go even though it has the smaller engine; it has a better chassis, better transmission, is tunable, and a lot lighter.
