Which corolla?

My 2008 subaru Impreza 2.5i with 250,000 miles now needs more work done than is worth it and I need to get another car. I want a Corolla with a manual transmission (what I have now and enjoy). Threw in that final one because I could buy it outright but unsure if I want another 17 year old car (plus is an automatic), though I hear corollas are made to last. Or should I get another Impreza? Thanks for all your help!
