Better resale value, yes, but as far as reliability, and getting the same amount of car for the money, don't think so. I looked at a Honda Accord for my wife. For $24k, you got a 4cyl, with cloth interior. For a stick of $21k, I bought her a Sonata LX, with leather, V6, ABS. Not as big as an Accord, and resale isn't as good. But, since she puts almost 40k miles on her car a year, the warranty helps out. Just add on an extended warranty onto the already $24k base Accord, then you are looking more than $25k, maybe $26. So far, with over 60k miles on it. Nothing wrong with it yet. The Sonata is also ranked higher than the Accord in quality and reliability.
