What's better: Suzuki SX4 or Mercedes A150?

I have been presented with a choice: keep my 2009 Suzuki SX4 DDIS 2009 manual with 70k miles or buy a 2007 Mercedes Benz A150 auto with 20k miles? What would you do?

Get rid of the SX4. A replacement Diesel Particulate Folter is £3300.

Much better execution of original A-Class concept. Feels far higher quality, especially inside. Easy to park.
Reasonably spacious five-seater with a decent boot, strong and economical diesel, tidy handling in 4WD.
