Hey! You sound like you're French, if that's the case the 2012 was a very good deal, what with our CO2 tax messing with used 86 prices.
21.9k for a '15 with under 50 000km is a good price too. As Tcoat said I would aim for a car that's still stock or close, with service records. Maintenance is every year / 15 000km and should be adhered to, which is sometimes a problem with low mileage cars.
The manual box is good, you'll see it's somewhat crunchy going into 2nd, but they -mostly- all do that. As long as you're not intensely tracking the car or adding lots of power, it'll be just fine. The auto's good, but its gearing is questionable.
As far as things to look out for specific to 86's, there aren't a ton. The recall is not something you should be afraid of on a used car, just avoid one that's had it very recently (<1500km). Also, our inspection / insurance companies are super-picky about mods, including wheel sizes, so avoid cars with bigger or wider wheels than stock.
Oh, one last thing: if you are indeed French, don't be afraid to look for cars in neighboring countries (BE / DE / IT, etc.), they're cheaper there and the CO2 tax on imported cars is acceptable (I paid 760€ for my 2013 two years ago).
