"As you mentioned" vs "as you said"

I've heard these two sentences a lot "as you said " and "as you mentioned". I'm a bit confused about them. I want to ask: what's the difference between these two sentences:

"As he said before this car is a great choice for you"

"As he mentioned previously this car is a great choice for you"


Solution 1:

'As you said' is more direct, and hence, can be more threatening.
