Hi there! Welcome to AF!

Honda and Toyota tend not to depreciate as much as other makes and models because they still are in high demand even after 4+ years. That's a good thing, because if/when you go to sell one, you don't lose as much money... but then it costs a little extra to buy used than some others. IMO, I think they're worth the extra few bucks. I bought a 1997 Civic a little over a year ago and other than getting rearended by some little old lady (which, btw, my car sustained very little damage - the Ford Escort that was sandwiched was totalled) and it's been a GREAT little fuel sipper!

Keep us posted on what you finally decide!
