Brand new Ford Focus or Honda Fit?

Looking for my first new car and ready to buy this weekend. I've looked at everything on the market and have finally narrowed it down to two specific cars. This is replacing a 2005 Ford Focus that was an awesome car, and looking for something equally fun to drive, roomy, and quirky and offbeat (it was bright yellow)

Here are the two options:

OPTION 1: A 2015 Honda LX in blue with manual. MSRP is $16300, dealer is willing to sell it for $15991. Likes are the color, roominess, simplicity of controls, and the nimble feel. Dislikes are that it's an import, a little cheap feeling around the edges, and some of the styling touches (why are there two big holes punched out in the rear bumper?)

OPTION 2: A 2014 Ford Focus SE hatch in ruby red and manual. MSRP is $21,110, dealer took it down to $19028 and brought in $5000 in rebates (regular rebate+owner loyalty+college student+FMC offer+bonus cash) bringing the price down to $14028. Likes are the driving dynamincs, quiet interior, features, and solid feel. Dislikes are the massively wide console, cramped rear seat, and it's not very quirky (but a friend mentioned that I could even do a full vehicle wrap in a more vivid color)

Give each a test drive and go for the one that you feel comfortable in the most. I personally like the styling of the Ford, but it's hard to beat the resale value the Honda will eventually have

P.S The fact that the Honda is an import shouldn't be frowned upon. Country of origin shouldn't affect your choice, it's just a dumb criteria in my opinion. Why do people care so much on where their car is from?

This is going to come down to a personal preference.
Keep in mind the Fit will hold it's resale value MUCH better. Of course if you plan on keeping it for 9 years like your current vehicle, this doesn't much matter.

Hard to believe Ford has that much room to come down.

Or they are keeping the rebate and you don't know it or something.

They are both good first 5 years, but after that honda would be much better.
