Default (Owner's) opinions on 2005/2006 3 & 6 series wagons?

No flaming on the worthiness of these cars to mod! Just looking for a daily driver.

Both cars seem almost identical on the interior dimensions. I'm not concerned about luxury per se so that aspect of the 6 isn't something I have to have...

The 3 series 5 door (aka wagon) is about 9k cheaper and gets 5 mpg city/ 4 mpg highway better mileage than the 6 so that's definitely a plus..

Owners please lmk what you like/dislike about either of these cars.

Thanks!

Honestly i think they'd both make a nice daily driver - i like the 6 better though.

Get the mazda3 wagon, those things looks sooooooo nice. If they were rear wheel drive with a rotary I would kill somebody to get one.

Ive got a 3 wagon and I love it. They arent fast cars but they are peppy and they handle real nice. A friend of mine has a 6 wagon and those are real nice also. Personally, I think the 6 looks a little more sophisticated; plus they are a little faster (if you get the V6). I have read that the 3's are supposed to be a little more reliable, if that matters to you. Both are great cars. Get which ever you like better.

I have a 3 hatch. Good daily driver and handling is decent. There's 2 kits out so when you get tired of the daily driver factor, boost it. I'm happy with my decision
