The last newest models, 1996 thru 1998 are the best.
However I would have to recommend that if you are not mechanically inclined, and if you don't have a brother in law that is an independent mechanic, the maintenance costs very likely will be significantly more than say a 3 or 4 year old japanese car. A non-handy doityourselfer should be prepared for this.
Are there maintenance records? Weak points include...heater core, all serpentine belt pulleys/components, cv boots, head gasket if ever overheated, if std transm has the clutch and slave been changed?, etc.
