See confusedbuyer, you arn't confused at all, far from it.
None of those cars is, indeed no car is, guaranteed to be totally reliable though they may turn out to be, and you already know that...you are far less confused than many car buyers, who, assume a certain badge means a quality durable or desirable product.
If you want another car likely to cost you less or at least only the fixed costs of servicing and wear and tear parts replacements, then for your budget you can get a very good year old Toyota or Korean car that will still have at least 4 and up to 6 years warranty remaining...do check long term servicing costs on any car you wish to buy, they vary enormously.
If you want a Mito, get one, you only live once, they won't be any less reliable than any other European makers offerings, the only thing you should do IMO if you do buy one is to have the services of a good Alfa indy within reasonable distance to keep it fettled for you once its about a year out of warranty and therefore unlikely to get any goodwill for any failures....unless you are lucky enough to have that rare thing, a good fair competent family owned smallish main dealer who values his customers in your area.
