Mazda 6 or Ford Mondeo?

I’m in the process of changing my car and can’ make up my mind. Given the choice, would you buy a used Mazda 6 Sport or a Ford Mondeo 2.5? Both are three years old.

No Mondeo IV 2.5. The 2.3 was a bit of an oddball and is rare. The Mazda 6 2.5 wasn't great either. 2.0 makes more sense. Mondeo 2.0 EcoBoost the best.
