Small MPV advice?

What do you think would be the better buy from a Renault Scenic 1.4 TCE TomTom Edition '09 50k, or Toyota Corolla Verso 1.8 VVT-i SR '08 70k. The Toyota starting £900 dearer, assuming condition etc. to be equal.

I like this engine in the Scenic, and also like the 1.8 VVTi in the Verso. The Scenic drives better and has a more entertaining dash. The Verso is less likely to suffer electrical failures (like the dash).
