My final advice:

Test drive BOTH cars and then take them to a store parking lot (mall, etc.)
with a good amount of other cars parked.
Get out and walk around the car.... walk away... walk back.  Just like your
shopping for new shoes (I _know_ you girls know how to do that, right?!?
[ducking] ).
See what you think about their looks then.  I have found that looking at
Miatae in groups has a bit of a hypnotizing effect that makes it hard to
judge.  (They ALL start to look good!  You'd take anything!  Harvest Gold,
Avocado Green, ...oh... sorry... that would be the '97M!    Ouch!!  <flame
suit zipping up>)

No, seriously.  It's a big decision.  Take some time with it.
