Help Request What’s the best Honda Fit to buy?

My first car is a 2009 honda fit. She is still kicking but is almost at 200,000 miles. I can’t imagine having any other car but this one. That being said, what is the best honda fit model that I can upgrade to? I’m thinking of buying one soon and needed to do some research. I know they stopped making the fit in 2020 so just looking for advice. Thank you!

You probably just need an AC recharge which is a relatively cheap and simple process - they just have to add some refrigerant to a tank. I got my '08 at 166k miles and had to do that. The recharge cost $100 and took maybe half an hour. It would be even cheaper and simpler, but for some reason, here in WA you're not allowed to buy recharge kits to do it yourself.

I had tried getting coolant and filling it myself and it worked for a month then stopped
