Should I buy a new Toyota or used MINI with 20,000 miles?

Which car is the better buy, in terms of reliability and resale value - a new Toyota Aygo or a MINI One with 20,000 miles on the clock?

The Aygo, because it's a Toyota and because it comes with a 5 year warranty. Not as much fun to drive, though.

More refined and better steering feel, much more fun to drive than previous MINI, excellent engines.
Plenty of kit as standard. Quirky looks. Very reliable.
