You will get many opinions telling you, without doubt, which of your 2 choices is better than the other. In fact, both are great cars. They have different personalities, and of course, different styling. As hard as it might be when shopping for a new car, keep your emotions to a minimum. Make a list, in order of your priorities, of which characteristics are most important to you. Take your list with you and drive the cars until you have a clear indication of each car's score for the items on your list. Drive them several times if you are unsure. Take both cars on the same roads, if possible, and compare them under similar conditions. You are the only one who will be able to determine which car is "best". You can read all the reviews, listen to all the opinions, but you are the one shelling out the money and you will be the one living with the car long term. You should also take a tour of the service departments, look at the facilities and meet the service manager before buying. You can be extremely happy with your new car until you need service. If the service department is not customer friendly, that happiness can be transformed to frustration.
Just do your research and you'll make the right choice. Good luck.
