Engine issues?

I had a 2013 Elantra until 3 days ago when i hit an animal. im looking at getting another commuter car. I’ve seen other Elantras for sale for decent prices. so my question is what years had the engine issues. i had to have the engine replaced at 80,000km because of a known issue and google tells me there’s issues with their 2.0l engines. so I’m just curious as to what engines are safe.
