Second Half:

Choose the one that will make you happy and comfortable, because I think they are equal in terms of money.

I have only purchased new Hondas for my cars. I am old enough that my first Honda car was then a cheap car. They have raised their prices over the years, but I still buy them because I have never had a problem with them. I fret about money as much as anyone, but I come back to what will make me happy. Then price is forgotten. But I also buy them, drive them for 200,000 kilometers or 8-10 years, and sell them when they are dying. So I don't worry about re-sale value.
