In my Personal Opinion, I rather use that 27k to put into my mortgage. Because over the 5 years, the bank will usually make the most of 2-3k from your interests rate. But over this 5 years on your mortgage, the Bank will be charging you probably around 10-20k in interest rate. Depend on how much your mortgage is.
Breaking it down.
Car finance = 10-30$ a month = 1800 over 60 months ?
27k into Mortgage reduce 50-80$ a month, or even more, depend on you mortgage condition. The younger your mortgage is = the better (Young mortgage = within 7 years). This is 3k-5k. You are saving a few thousands here.

Here we go! Whitigir has the right idea.
If you're enterprising in your investments or having things like a mortgage that are at a higher rate, it's better to put your money elsewhere then paying cash up front for a car. I just got 2.19% financing on my BRZ and as far as I'm concerned, that's a very small fee to pay for giving me the flexibility to put my money in places that will give me a better return for my dollar.
