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 ....

someone just told me about the 2006 honda civic soupe si ...
 
I like the mazda 3 i love how they drive. and since gas prices are high id deff go for a car that is better on gas.
 
First, Mazda 3 vs, Impreza.
Mazda is lighter. This explains the higher MPG and faster acceleration.
Looks are subjective, but I agree with your assesment.
Mazda has an inline 4, Impreza has a boxer 4.
A stripped Impreza will probably cost a little over $18k after taxes.

The impreza has All Wheel Drive. Handy when traction becomes a problem. But the AWD adds weight and friction. That makes it slower than the Mazda.

I think the Subaru is more sturdy and more stable at higher speeds. If probably retains it's value a little better.

Also consider the Honda Civic Coupe. Nice looking, handles well, good MPG.
