    Asking people here which one is best will ultimately get you nowhere...

    Since 1999, the VW and Honda have had almost identical resale value (both are in like the top-3).

    What it really comes down to is how much you like either when YOU drive it. Test drive them. Ask to take a longer test drive than usual. Take it on backroads as well as highway speed. Don't be timid - drive it like you would if you owned it. One might rattle a bit at highway speeds for all you know...

    Either car will be great for you - but it's ultimately a choice you need to make - and you really need to drive both of them to make a truely informed decision.

    Another option to consider is buying a new car. Do you really need the size of the Accord? The Civic isn't much smaller and you can get them new for like 15K. Same for the VW.
