3: Driving Dynamics / Handling
4: Ease of Ingress / Egress

I'm not concerned with maintenance costs no with fuel economy, I just want a ride that's dependable and whose ownership is hassle-free. Thanks for anyone who's willing to share any feedback.

Durability goes to Mazda for sure. Subaru’s CVTs aren’t the best historically when it comes to reliability. I’d go with the conventional 6 speed of the mazda.
