As others have posted, prices? That would really be a significant decision component. I just got a 2010 (30i) AW/beige and love it. But, I have the options I want too.I'd suggest you go spend some more time in them, drive them both and try to FEEL which one is yours. Personally, I don't think anyone can tell you which to get. It is YOUR ride! Different people have different sensitivities to colors, options, etc.

Low mileage is a biggie but when you combine all of the variables....

One little thing I noticed from your pics, and there are many posts about this, is the Running Boards. Granted, it is a lessor issue and not overly expensive to change either way. The general consensus (if you haven't read the threads) is a very mixed bag about Running Boards on this particular vehicle. Pretty much most agree, they look great but are also pretty impractical. The height is weird, too high to the interior floor so they are awkward to use both entering and exiting (especially if you are tall). They can really collect road-dirt, especially in wetter/rainy/snowy conditions and if you try to step over them (not use them) it is almost unavoidable that you will rub your clothes against them (passengers too). I'd suggest you get in and out of both, several times and see/feel this difference. As I said, you can cheaply change either, and probably, if you push the dealer hard enough, get the dealer to throw in the change as part of the deal (assuming you may want the opposite of whichever vehicle you choose and which boards it has).

You might want to ask for carfax on both just to be on the safe side (don't know if that is available in Toronto - or, the dealer may be able to convince you of the history on each{if you trust them}). You also don't mention Nav on either, which is a bit surprising. Park distance on the AW - tone only or cams? Not at all on the Bronze? Ultimately, doesn't matter with your situation, go spend some more time with both of them and you will know which is yours!

Best wishes and come back and tell us which you chose!!
