Renault Captur or Suzuki Vitara?

What is the best value for money between the Renault Capture (automatic diesel) and the Suzuki Vitara (petrol manual)? I do about 6000 miles per year, mainly town driving.

The Captur 1.5DCI EDC is a lot more expensive than the basic Vitara 1.6 manual, but the one to get is the Vitara S 1.4T BoosterJet, which is more than the Captur: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/suzuki/suzuki-vita.../ Other tests: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/suzuki/suzuki-vita.../ and: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/renault/renault-ca.../ Two tone paint suits the Captur much better than the Vitara. But the Vitara S looks good in metallic grey or red.
