Do you like keeping something as perfect as it can be from new? Or are you ok with a DD that will incur rock chips, may rattle a little and has a couple wear items?
I want to confirm ( as Tcoat was earlier) that most issues reported are either self inflicted, or an EXTREMELY low percentage of vehicles. People are more inclined to make an account and complain about something, than they are to make an account to praise it rather than just keeping that excitement to themselves.
Any new car is a gamble just as a used car is; at least with the used car, maybe you can see it coming. That's how I see it. Loving my totaled out, flooded 2013 I got 3 years ago for dirt cheap. No issues aside wear items and salt rusting some bolts together.

How do you know a used manual car was well taken care of? How about clutches? My neighbor who has a truck told me that he drives manual cars too and he drove like a truck without pressing clutch, no changing gears in lower gears, jerks, bumps etc. I like new cars and need not worry about 3 years. That's just me.
