Buying a new diesel - Captur or C'eed?

My wife wants to buy a new diesel. Something between the Renault Clio size but less then the Laguna Tourer. We like the look of the Captur and Megane, but the Kia C'eed has also caught our eye. Which is the best model to buy? We will cover around 9000 miles a year.

Very few DPF problems reported with cee'd 1.4 and 1.6 CRDI diesel engines and they are warranted for 7 years, v/s 4 years for a Renault (which is still 1 year more than VW and Ford).
