I can't get the drivers seat back far enough in my BA wagon to to be really comfortable with my 3yo in a baby seat behind me.
My Mum has the Mazda 6 wagon, we borrowed it on holiday and it was noticeably cheaper to run, but we felt like sardines in a can, had no where near the carrying space in the back, lacked overtaking power compared to the falcon when loaded and it felt like a tin can, i see why they have curtain airbags, when closing the door it felt a quarter the weight of the BA, it needs them.
Whilst i could live with one if i had too, i certainly would not choose to, they are not big enough for a family, a tandem pram would take the cargo are on it's own.

Too true...........horses for courses...........although I think you'll find both cars will have the same NCAP rating so don't be fooled by doors that feel "light" to close.........
Sure....if you need to lug around a heap of stuff, the Falc may be your cup of tea......but even then, the CAMRY boot space is quite large........In fact the boot space in the new VW Jetta may even be bigger !!!!!!.....but I think for most people these days, the Mid Sized car is turning out to be a better day to day choice.
Don't get me wrong..........I own a BFGT Falcon and a Mitsu Ralliart modded Verada.........I like BIG cars...........but it is clear to see on our roads that there are more and more Mid to small sized cars making an impact. It's been a little while since the official release of the FG Falcon and I've still really only seen a handful on the road...........Our local FORD Dealer is choccas with them and there are still runout BF Falcs in the yard as well............
I guess the monthly sales figure will tell some of the story.......
