Hi all! I hope everyone's having a good Friday 
I made a post a while ago about more budget cars, but I've decided that I'd like to spend a bit more, and am trying to decide between two vehicles:
They're both good cars, from what I can tell. Smooth ride, reasonably refined. Both have 6 speed auto boxes with semi-manual mode. Both have similar engine outputs, acceleration, and top speeds.
Am I correct in saying that the main difference would be the Hyundai has more kit as standard, and the VW has slightly better interior material quality? Those are the only things I can find (other than the Hyundai being a bit bigger, obviously).
Things that are important to me:
Let's assume for the sake of this discussion that they both cost around the same, are both about 3 years old, are both in good condition, and both have around 50,000km on the clock.
Which do you think I should go for, and why?
Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

- VW Polo MK5 (6R) 1.6 Comfortline Auto
- Hyundai i30 1.6 GLS/Premium Auto

Things that are important to me:
- Smooth ride (no jerky auto shifts, good with potholes)
- Quiet cabin
- Good real world fuel economy
- Good resale value
