Need advice from car enthusiasts/experts. I have a budget of about $2500 to buy a new car. I've basically settled on a 2000's Hyundai Tiburon, but there are two available to me. If anyone can help me pick between them I'll post more details about both

Civic
Don't buy a Tib. Literally any Honda is higher quality and more reliable. But memes aside, find an old corolla or something similar. Cars that cheap aren't usually in good condition. So the more reliable, the better
This is about as good as it gets for me without having to drive 500km+

mate thats a fucking steal. Seeing as it's $2100 CAD, that means its like $6. We pay 500x that for the same car.

buy that shit, civics are reliable as hell just dont btfo of it, treat it nice, oil changes and such and it will last forever

My parents had an 01 Accord that went over 250k miles without any major repairs. What ended up killing the car wasn't even mechanical, the unibody rusted out on the point where the subframe bolts on because salt belt. I'd check for major rust on the underside but if there isn't any then this is a great deal.
Kek. I'll take reliability and cheap repair over looks every time, but this tiburon looks much better than that civic. Also I've been reading Lemon-Aid and it somewhat recommended the tiburon.

Anything that cheap will be garbage
I hear what you're all saying. I'm boarding the civic train. Toronto is a bit of a travel for me but I'm sure I could pull it off. Also, thoughts on this since I'm now considering a 2-3 hour trip for pickup:
I can spend the money I save on a new stereo and some mad subs

that generation has known head gasket issues and is notably worse than the generations that came before
