I don't think it really matters, a 10-15 year old subcompact car is what it is,
well used and cheap to buy.

If you're asking how a turbo engine stands up long term, it depends whether the tuners
get to them and start turning up the boost. Anytime you have a turbo long term it's another
potential fail point but for owners inside 5,6,7 years it shouldn't be problematic.
