Megane Tourer vs Laguna Tourer - Which is best?

I can't decide between the Renault Megane Tourer or the Renault Laguna Tourer. Both are 2009 models. Is one a better buy than the other? Is there anything specific I need to look out for?

The Laguna is a bit bigger and I think better built, in Sandouville, Northern France rather than in Palencia, Northern Spain. See the entries in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar for problem areas.
