I'm new here. My brother suggested I join as I am looking at two different mazdas. Perhaps you guys can give me a bit of info. I'm looking at a Mazda3 hatchback grand touring vs a Mazda5 touring. They are at the same dealer and exactly the same price. Both are 2006 year model

Mazda3 specs- 170k, automatic 5-speed
Mazda5- 150k, automatic 4-speed

It should be mentioned, I have two children... I like the space in the Mazda5 but the gas efficiency on the Mazda3 is pretty nice...

so hit me with your best shot! Which would you go with??
 
With that many miles on each, it may boil down to which one was maintained closest to factory-recommended intervals. Look up the requirements and try to find out what was done to the cars over the years. All things being equal, the 3 is likely to be more reliable, at least according to Consumer Reports.
