New to the Forums and need advice!!!

Ok .. I need some help!!

I am looking at getting either a ms3 or ms6. I like both cars a lot. I can't decide on which to get.... I drive 48 miles round trip to work mon-fri. When I have some "man time" away from the wife and kids i like to go on some weekend rides. Just sold my 2011 Sonata Turbo SE which was for my wife and my first experience with a Turbo'd 4cyl and now i have the Turbo bug....

I am going to get one or the other this week or next but I need to decide on which to get. Im rather torn on which one.

Questions i am pondering over:
Do I need the AWD?
Will the MS3 give me the power on take off that i really want?
Being 34 now, is the 6 a better fit for my family being that the 3 is a small hatch?
The 6 was only made for 2 years ... the 3 is still in production... does that mean anything?

I want to get the most out of this ride because i have switched cars several times in the past 3 years and i really want to find something i like and that I will keep for at least the next 4-5 years. I have already driven a 07' ms3and I am going to drive a Silver 06' ms6 on wed to see which i like the best. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am really torn between which one to get.

Thanks for reading and an advanced thank you to any input given!!

You'll get better gas milage and a little better performance with the 3, but the 6 has AWD and that's a big draw to a lot of people. I looked at both and went with the 3, to me it was sportier and more fun to drive.

I fit a family of 5 and the dog in my MS3 on a regular basis with no issues. Living in GA I wouldn't say you need AWD. I live in CT and got through last winter (a bad one snow wise) with just all seasons.

I really think you need to drive both and then decide. I think either car would serve you well.
