[SIZE=3]Madalang pa lang kasi ang Subaru dito kaya fresh ang dating ng LOOKS. As for the RELIABILTY & DURABILITY, the Mitsubishi had their share of bad products in the past. PERFORMANCE? Both brands are active participants in Rallye racings. I'd go for the Subaru.[/SIZE]

The EX and the Subaru 2.0R are similar in terms of performance... but the GLS? I thought that Mitsu was only selling the EX in MX, GTA and GT. The GLS is, as far as I remember, not the new EX model, but the previous generation Cedia-based Lancer.

Para sa akin choice ko Subaru . My brother own one in the states . He use it for daily driving until now still strong with a 220,000 + MILES on it .As long as it has Proper maintanance change oil every 3000 Miles. Even though it not a 2008 Impresa 2.0 based on his experience in engine durability, reliability, performace . I`ll choose SUBARU.

Nice thread. I was about to ask the same question. Good thing I saw this one. But what I have in mind is the Lancer EX GT/GT-A model, not the Lancer EX GLS/GLX models since both GT/GT-A are above the 1M++ price tag, as well as the Impreza 2.0R. Additionally, I was eyeing for the Impreza 2.0R 5-door, not the 4-door.

Anyway, my thoughts on this one would go like this:
[SIZE=5]1. Performance[/SIZE]
Though I have not driver one, I looked at the specs and the Lancer EX GT/GT-A is a tad more powerful and torquier than Impreza 2.0R. Lancer EX has a very slight advantage on this one given they have the same curb weight.

[SIZE=5]2. Looks[/SIZE]
This is a base to base casis It's up to you. But either way, you won't go wrong with the looks.

[SIZE=5]3. Reliability[/SIZE]
Still can't tell since I don't own one (just planning to own one). Though both are used in Rally racing, both cars maybe can be relied on.

[SIZE=5]4. Durability[/SIZE]
Both are still relatively new, and you can only count with your fingers if you see one when you drive from home to your office. Maybe Lancer EX and Impreza 2.0R owners can give their thoughts on this one.

Just another note, since Subaru has only one dealer here in the Philippines, you're left with no other choice but to always consult them. So -1 point to Impreza.

I'm more inclined to Lancer EX. But that's with a personal note.

There's a GLS, even a GLX version of the 2008 Lancer EX. These are the Lancer EXs that come in stock/bare. They don't have rear spoilers, skirts, 18" mags, etc. that come with the GT/GT-A versions.

Ah. So if it's a base version, then the performance nod turns slightly to the Subaru 2.0R.

1. Performance:

AT to AT, the Subaru is no match for the Lancer in terms of straightline performance. MT to MT, it's an even match. And the MT Impreza has a low-range gearbox. Fun stuff.

In terms of driving appeal, the Subaru 2.0R MT and the Lancer EX GTA and GT are almost par... the Lancers with 18" wheels have more grip, while the Subaru has better composure and is more tail-happy when you push it. Against a base Lancer with the puny 16" wheels, the Subaru is vastly better.


2. Looks:

Purely subjective. I'd give the higher-end Lancer a nod, but base Lancer to base Impreza, it's about even.

3. Reliability:

Rally cars have almost nothing to do with the base cars. The turbocharged engines in the EVO and WRX STI are chock full of forged parts and more expensive engine internals. The bodyshells are also different, with extra stitch and seam-welding... the transmissions and differentials are heavy duty... and the suspensions are heavily upgraded. And these are the Group N cars. For the higher end machines, both cars are stripped to the bare shell and rebuilt with motorsports specific parts that bring the cost of each car to around a million dollars.

Subaru's record is not spotless, but I'd pick one over an old Mitsubishi. But the current Mitsubishi, with its Hyundai-Mitsubishi engine and grounds-up redesign... is still an unknown quantity. It might be better than old Mitsus... it might not.

4. Durability:

Same question. Same answer.

[renzo_d10]

Subaru for me. Performance is pretty much the same since they`re carrying the same engine displacement which is 2.0

Space wise, a +1 for the lancer. The EX has a trunk while the impreza doesnt ( except for the sedan )

Reliability - Subbie for me

Looks - GLS versus Impreza = Impreza

subaru po.

*thread starter, na test drive mo na ba both cars? If not test drive mo muna. After mo ma test baka mag fall ka for either car.

Both of them have ok reviews.

I think fuel consumption-wise, the lancer is better than the subie. I get around 7.5km / L. You did not mention fuel consumption as a factor though so I guess this doesn't matter.

For questions 1 and 3 I agree with Niky. As for looks I really think that the lancer looks better (angry look). For 4, not sure what to say here.

Thanks...actually I own a Subaru Forester 2009....and veryyyy happy with the performance...

The reason why im asking is that my wife planning to change her honda to another car and our neighbor bought a Lancer ex GLS which he's telling to us that the Impresa is no match with his lancer mx gls....so i decided to asked your opinions...

sa lahat po...

Maraming TY....
