Citroen C3 Picasso or Skoda Yeti?

I’m thinking of buying a nearly new car for my retirement, but can’t decide between the Citroen C3 Picasso or Skoda Yeti. I will only drive on short journeys and cover 5000 miles in a year. Which car should I buy, and should I get a diesel or petrol?

Petrol. Yeti 1.8 TSI 160 4x4 will be best.
