Which Mazda should I go for?
 

Hey guys, I just joined the forum today. I'm looking at options for my first personal car.
I'm obviously set on getting a Mazda. My parents bought a new 2001 Millenia and owned it until 2013. I enjoyed driving it and I appreciate an exhilarating driving experience.
Two specific vehicles I am considering are a 2008 Mazda 3 2.0, and a 2012 Mazda 6 Touring 2.5.
The 3 has 70k miles, and the 6 has around 60k. They both have a clean Carfax. The 3 is listed for around $8k, and the 6 is listed for around $11k.
Which is the better buy?
