Neither are good buys, both diesels have a poor reliability reputation. Mazda's reputation for diesel is very poor indeed. You woud be far safer looking at the petrol options. Diesels of that age can be a big money pit. The best of its generation is the VAG 1.9 tdi, but all cars of that age are likely to come with things that need doing. Check the car by car review section for masses of information on these two models. Most on here would probably advise the Mazda 3 in petrol format, with a decent service history.
