Toyota Yaris or Ford B -MAX?

I'm thinking of buying a new car, but cannot decide between the Toyota Yaris Hybrid or Ford B-MAX. My annual mileage is mostly short journeys and I intend to keep the vehicle for five years.

Taking in to account service costs, depreciation, resale value and reliability, which car would you buy?

I'd go for the Toyota Yaris.
