Skoda Octavia or Dacia Logan?

I have 2008 Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI with only 24,000 miles on the clock. The Skoda has been suffering with lots of niggling issues - like the windows going down by themselves and alarm going off – and I am considering changing it for a new Dacia Logan. My question is: should I keep the Skoda and fix it or get a new Dacia with a long warranty?

The Skoda's 1.9 TDI was the best VAG diesel engine. The windows problem might be the key or might be moisture inside the doors and I'd be inclined to fix it rather than trading it in. The Dacia Logan is a good car, but will feel considerably "cheaper" in comparison to the Skoda.
