I can say the Venue comes with a lot of value for it's price. It comes with the Hyundai Warranty. (You can check all that in this Link for US Customers: 2022 Hyundai VENUE | Specs
So for the first 5 years of ownership at least, you have most items covered, including road side assistance; and in the US at least last year some Hyundai Dealers had a 2/3 year free maintenance promotion that I don't know if they still do.
The Venue SEL in USA (Mid Level Trim) comes with the technology and safety items that most people would need I think.
I've had mine for only 2 months and got it as a 'weekend trip' car (Base Model with Manual Transmission available in the Canadian Market only). And so far I like it a lot, it looks quality is very good and since I'll put less than 10000 Miles per year I plan to keep it for a long time.
I can also say Subaru is a very Nice option, I've had a 2009 Impreza for 10 years and it was great to have AWD but the maintenance when it was reaching the 240,000 miles mark was getting expensive; but it was 99% reliable.
If you tried the Subaru Crosstrek then I'd also test drive the Toyota Cross. Explore the 2022 Corolla Cross | Toyota.com
In Short the Hyundai Venue would be your most affordable option for FWD. (There is no AWD Venue Model) ; for the other cars you are considering you will pay more.
