What to pick for second hand sedan?

I want to spend about $25,000 on a second hand car and would like your advice. I'm looking at a car from 2011 to 2012 and considering the Mazda6, Falcon G6E turbo or Subaru Liberty with 2.5 or 3.6-litre engine.

I'd go for the Mazda6, which has a combination of class and comfort, and not the Falcon unless you're a sporty driver. The Liberty in that age was a bit 'off' by Subaru standards because of the Global Financial Crisis, and the 3.6 is no real improvement over the 2.5 unless you tow.
