I reckon it depends how much stuff you want to put in the car, as to looking at the 6 rather than the 3. Personally I think the 6 is more attractive and I once bought an entire bed back from Ikea in mine - it fitted with a bit of spare room. There's just me using mine; no kids, no pets, but I like big cars.
I reckon it'd be worth looking at the 6. You can get a 2.0L 2008 petrol for about £5.5k (£500 more for the diesel version).
The only difference I can see for the 3 is that you're getting a 2008 plate 1.6L with generally lower mileage than the 6 for around £6k.
I've no major negatives to report. I've only ever had to replace headlight bulbs and wiper blades on mine. Perhaps others will beg to differ, but they will run sweetly for a long time with relatively little looking after.
