I appreciate buyers that do research online prior to purchase within reason, get to technical and end result will be total confusion, you got an extended shopping list, I therefore am surprised with your location being Calgary you left out AWD ?
Having driven thousand of vehicles over a few decades here is my priority in order if I was shopping
#1 Affordability Know your budget, paying cash, finance or lease do all the research you want, the moment the dollar signs go beyond affordability get off the surf, to many buyers visit dealerships and lets the emotions do the shopping.
#2 Handling You may have heard the expression " a car feels tight " when you test drive a car that feels like being part of you having passed every test " assuming knowing what to look for " then the vehicle is tight,,, myself - the dealer - online reviews or your friends cannot tell you that a car handles the way you like,,, you have to find that answer on your own
#3 Bells and Whistles I would love every option you mentioned and then some,,, but it's time to delete some if they don't fit in with affordability.
Summary,,, You neglected to mention a budget, also you mentioned resale, why ?
