Well, I can only give you my personal experience with a Toyota Yaris 1200cc and that is a fantastic and reliable car ! had mine for 8years no problems, does 50 miles per gallon. easy to drive, spacious when the back seats are down for loads of carrying, . 5stars. I think best car toyota have produced!!
either one is nice.. you would LOVE a mazda6 wagon...i have the sedan version v6 its fun to drive swift in traffic great get up and go...had it since 04 brand new with absolutly ZERO problems at about 70000 miles
