I'm on board with Claeren here - Toyota by a landslide, but if you don't chose the Toyota you'll be fishing on the other end of the "quality pond" by omitting the Hondas, Nissans and Mazda's. And that's considering quality and resale.
As for me, I drive a Mazda
Atenza here in Japan (though not very much now) and am surprised at how happy I am with it. I was going for another Honda at purchase when my sales guy at Mazdacame down almost $3000 in price to make it not even close in terms of budget - I guess it pays to shop around.
