2022 Toyota RAV4 — reliable cheap first car or newer car with warranty?

OldSchoolWeekendCommunity StarterMay 9, 20262022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSEPhoenix
I am trying to balance purchase price against downtime and surprise repairs. Would you put the same budget into an older proven car with cash left over, or a newer car with warranty coverage?

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. Call your insurer in Phoenix before you fall in love with the 2022 Toyota RAV4. Do that before you talk monthly again. Was this after sitting overnight? Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.
