Hello! Tho di affrcted ang Mazda sa excise tax, but were planning on buying a crossover befire this year ends. Would like to ask for your opinions

Concerns:
1) both are gas, so medyo my dad is not okay with this + 2.0l.
2) Subaru maintenance (idk if its true) is expensive but what im sure is the parts are very expensive especially the cvt fluid
3) mazda only has around 150mm ground clearance tho enticing ang PMS. D ko lang alam ang parts na gagastohin if ever
4) i thnk mas long term ang subbie? Esp sa safety and durability + may xmode pa


Any suggestions are really appreciated. Thank you po!!
