Sometimes the best shot of a vehicle is when it is very small in the frame. If the source is higher resolution than the IMCDB size limit, is it better to crop to highlight the car or just resize the image?

Example from 1080i video:

Resize only?


Crop only, no resize?


Or maybe a compromise, a slight crop & resize?
I think in this particular example the cropped one doesn't really look much better, just bigger

Advice please
