Which one will you prefer Lancer EX GLS 2008 or Subaru 2008 Impresa 2.0R

*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....

impreza 2.0R MT has a high and low range final ratio..they also claim that their ATs are made by PRODRIVE...

mitsu ATs are not ATs but CVTs.

me...as stated above, i'll go for 2.0RMT

for 1.06M, sa dami ng technology inside(may traction control, cruise control) plus it is CBU-JAPAN...

un lang 2.0R MT is avail only in hatch... impreza sedan comes only in 4AT form..

well as for observation, hello, 2.0 liters yan, so 7-9 is a common thing, and 10-12 is a rare sight. but going below 6km/l on a modern 2.0 is now inefficient.

since may forester ka na pala, why not stick to the impreza?

So far...

Performance: The Evolution X has a little advantage over the impreza in terms of handling and grip. So are the evo engines have more bhp and torque than the impreza. But both are quick: 0-100 in under 5sec.
Looks: The Impreza wrx sti is definitely more "agressive" and noisy while the evo X is subtle. Just like Rambo for the impreza and James Bond for the evo.
Durability: As for now, I haven't heard or read about lemons with Subaru. Mitsu? Well, it had a reputation of overheating in the first 3 years and gearbox failures within 6 years. Maybe they already solved that problems.
Reliability: I think it goes hand in hand with the durability factor. But, in rallys, Subaru is a consistent "trouble-free" contender while Mitsubishi, Toyota and Citroen had their shares of mechanical and engine problems.

Ford focus rs or volkswagen gti are worth to check.

That's great if we're talking about the Evo and WRX, but we're not...

Hamunin mo... buy a 2.0R MT, and challenge him to a parking lot drift... I've tried both... one will (obviously) but the other won't. And with the puny 16" wheels on the MX, it'll start to understeer really badly if you try.

To each their own... the Lancer is a more practical car, but the Subie has a nicer interior and better driving dynamics.

both have rallye heritage but its subaru who offers more of a rallye car experience/security under most driving condtions and with the addtion of superior driver/pansenger/pedestrian safety . AWD, boxer engine on all of its models. Low range transfer case on the M/T.

Hahaha. Natawa ako dito. Puwede din bumili ka ng WRX, palitan mo ng FMIC at swap ka ng hood tas si misis pa ang ipa drive mo.

Bakit di na lang Forester o WRX ang ikuha mo kay misis? Baka sabihin nagdi discriminate ka! hehehe.

I loooove the sleeper look...

300+ hp STi with a stock Impreza hood, blacked-out FMIC and rear wing deleted... change the mags for smaller ones, too...

Would sure shock a lot of people on the highway...
