My vote would be for the 2009, especially given the small price difference and lower mileage.

Being an owner of both, I too would have a hard time deciding. I agree I like the body of the gd3 better but the ge8 is probably a better deal in the long run

ive owned the GD and now GE's. GE's are better cars overall, unless you really like the GD, get the GE... and get a manual transmission if you can.

I've sat here an hour stumped on which I'd pick... The only car 55/45 in favor in the 09 because of the year. Both cars are great. If you want more money in your pocket do 07.

Both cars are good. The GD is a bit on the high side for pricing, while the GE is a very reasonable amount.

THe mileage shouldnt matter, one is baby steps behind the other.

Decide what you want out of each car.

The GE is a bigger car. so if cargo space and the most comfort is to your liking, go with the GE

The GD would be my choice, if you have a focus of FUNCTION over FORM. the GD has a larger aftermarket to further tweak the suspension and cosmetics.
