Mazda 3 vs. Subaru impreza ?
which car is better .. .

mpg wise = mazda wins hands down 24-33
looks wise = impreza wins ...
both are v4
both cars are in my budget 12k - 18k

what car has both looks (sports car look) and good mpg ......... i know i will be racing but not as much .. i just want a bad *** looking car which gives great mileage when driven like a human being and fast as hell when being raced...

what do you all think ..... if you can recommend me a different car which has all the other qualities let me know ... if not tell me which model you would prefer ....
 
Sorry hanZ the impreeza is a boxer 4 that is a harozanly oppoised 4 cyclinder!!! looks great and has many options for up grading pick the subie they last forevery!!!
 
it's hard

my friend just got rid of his 2007 mazda 3 hatchback, it was awesome...looks good, fast for the engine it has. nice ride, great interior, great sound system. i think it looks cleaner and better than a impreza but the impreza is a great car to as far as performance and quality. i would pick the mazda since my friend loved it.
 
NEITHER are V-4..The mazda is an INLINE 4 and the Subaru is a "flat 4" like old Volkswagens except they are liquid cooled with overhead cams.

The Mazda beats Subaru because the Mazda is easier to maintain, Subaru`s are a pain to service with he engine down low like that.

Also Subaru`s build quality isn`t that great.

I`m going to give you a 3rd choice....Fast with V-6-like torque, 50mpgwhen driven normally (WITH MODS!) and averages 43 when he tromps on it.
and No tune-ups, Only oil and filter changes! and they are fast. Note that he has 275,000 miles on his car? yes these will exceed 500,000 miles easily.

first of both are not V4, there's no such thing as V4. They are inline 4.

also looks are personal, i think the 3 looks way better than Impreza.

It all depends, the 09 Impreza has base hp of 224, it is basically a 08 WRX but no stick shift. Plus the Impreza is all wheel drive.

Since you only have a low budget, I'll take the 3. 3 by far is one of the best handling car in its class, and way better than Impreza.
