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.

Plenty of kit as standard. Quirky looks. Very reliable.
