Buy one with the fewest mods on it in the newest model year you can find. Buy the manual version, and wait to see if you get bored.
If you aren't even sure if you want standard or auto, you definitely won't mind the features the newer car brings.
As someone who was bit in the ass, do not buy a salvage 2013. If it's affected by the recall and you decide to take it in, you will most likely get burned somehow.
My car is a flood car and I bought it in 2015 for $11,500. I love it, but I also prefer the "less is more". Seat heaters, push button start, knee pads, steering wheel controls? That's just stuff that gets in the way of me taking the interior apart and putting it back in. I use the mirrors for driving backwards and can reach to adjust volume if I want.
As I said initially; buy the newest model year in your flavor of choice within your budget, and buy a manual.
