mr.alcheng- the subaru's ive own all broke down or had problems so i am not very convinced of your statement. on the other hand, both Fits ive owned have had no issue. plus, the way subaru treated me over the years, i should not even be looking at their line up.

but due to the fact that i made myself review all potential hatches in the price range (especially those made in japan), i have forced myself to look at subaru and mazda.

i think while the impreza is potentially a better hatch with everything considered it is still a risk for me (especially if cvt), it is more expensive so i need to find justification why im spending $6K more on a hatch that im not going to really enjoy anyway.

at the end of the day, i think im going to get the FitSport. just not the one from the dealer that i keep failing to get to.

Mr.kenchan, sorry to hear about your bad-experience with the Subaru... feel she treated you like her ex-husband... LOL

Not sure when was the ownership of your Subaru, but my friend drove two Subaru (a Legacy and a Sti, 4 years each), no issue at all. My sister just bought a Legacy about 18 months ago, no issue too.

I think they have improved some of their reliability issues through the years...

You might want to re-consider the (3) option...

They have direct swap kits for lsx or just regular 350.

Lol Mr.kenchan... don't worry too much on it.. honestly... lemon could happen to anyone from any brand...

In this case, really, go with your instinct, can't worry too much...

Also, this is a DD that might serve you for only 2 yrs... after that, it's Mrs..

However… If I will suggest you, then the 1st is still Impreza then 2nd is Fit...

Ms.blackberry, I bet Subaru almost pop itself into ken-san's 'iggyland'

My case was more between the two color... lol, because none of them were in stock... PW is my favorite color and BC will get dirty easily..

Took 5 months for my Z to arrive...
