Help me choose a second hand car

I plan to buy a secondhand car this year, and I currently have 5 options. I need help finalizing, especially weighing the pros and cons. For context, dalawa lang kami ng jowa ko na gagamit, and we only have cats, so seats aren’t really a concern but maybe the ground clearance. I drive a 2016 wigo na for years, and bibigay ko na sya sa parents ko for their daily use.

1.	Honda Civic FC 1.8 – I’m avoiding the RS Turbo since I’ve heard about problems with the turbo lineups… or is that only in cold weather? Most of the reviews I saw on YouTube were from US/Canada, so not sure how relevant it is here.
2.	Xpander Cross
3.	Honda BR-V
4.	Ford Territory (Sobrang mura sa 2nd hand market even the latest models, is it because assembled ng china?)
5.	Honda City RS HB

Additional info: Maximum budget is 850,000 and I am not considering a brand new one

For the owners and car guys, what are the usual problems with these? Honestly, medyo hatak talaga ako ng Civic since parang di nakakasawa tignan, but I’m concerned about sa lubak and baha sa bansa natin.
