Subaru all the way, stay away fm. Mitsu. They don't deserve to do business. After they covered up all of the defect / feedback / complains from customers for so many years. how can u trust a company like that? besides their in financial trouble, so they may not be around for long.
Also Subaru's AWD is superior to other designs because of its Low Center of gravity (boxer engine) and Symmetrical 4WD layout. making it very stable.
Bro, OUTLANDER na, think of maintenance bro and resale value, magsawa ka man mataas pa rin bentahan, bihira lang may gus2 ng Subaru, tignan mo na lang ang Subaru Legacy 4x4 pa sya, pero baba ng resale value almost 1M+ din ang SRP nya noon, mahal pa 2nd hand na SIR. Kunin mo Black and put a 18" mags, Gwapo!
I sincerely doubt that the outlander will retain any significant resale value... most mitsus, other than pajero and lancers don't have much of a resale value.
The Legacy is a really old car when they sold it here, in addition, GM wasn't that "established" when they sold the Legacy, people don't even know what Subaru is... My 02
