Impreza 2.0 R-Sport vs Tucson CRDI 4x2

[stormgray]

Ok, ok, I know the subject vehicles are not in the same class, but they are approximately in the same price range (P1.14M for the Impreza, P1.12m for the Tucson).

Assuming both vehicles are ok with you, size-wise, what would you buy and why? Pros and cons?

Priorities... Priorities... Answer that first and we can give a better opinion. The Impreza might be a much more exciting car but then its not going to be as flexible as the Tucson in case you do gorceries. Tucson for a family car and Impreza for a personal car...

I had this dilemma before but in the end I chose the 2.0R.
Mainly because it has alot more to offer for roughly the same price and the ride is really good.

Pros:
Ride is good
Comes with good tires (ADVAN)
AWD
Cruise control
Traction control
Quiet engine
Side mirrors are bigger, thus better visibility

Cons:
only 1 CASA
gas consumption is higher than average
4 speed AT
no coin holder
low ground clearance

The Tucson is a good pick for the baha and because it's CRDI, definitely cheaper on fuel, likely on consumption as well (although if I do buy the Impreza, it'll be mostly on an E10 diet).

I'm married but no kids yet, so mainly it'll be my wife and me. If we do get a kid, I don't think the Impreza will be a problem, as most baby trolleys are foldable nowadays.

With all these considerations, what would you get?

meateater, how's the Impreza's consumption? Is it worse than my current ride, an 03 Lancer MX (7-8 city, 11-12 highway, 9 mixed)?

City is around 7-7.5 on average.
Highway is around 10 -11.
I guess this has something to do with my driving style I shift around 3k rpm usually.

Before I forget, I use the manual tranny pala.

My friend istan also has a 2.0r he does around 9-10 city (super tipid mode driving, he shifts at low rpm).

Then maybe the Impreza is the way to go then...

Personally the imprezza is an I want car..But if I were in your shoes, married,no kids yet but soon to come, Id get the tucson..

Pag dating kasi ng baby sigurado may yaya yan siempre plus 1 seating,plus all the bags,accessories and stroller etc etc..

Kung Imprezza naman muna ngayon tas bili nalang ng mas malaki pag dating ni baby, pwede din, pero kung bebenta mo muna yung car bago bili ng malaki sayang naman yung depreciation..might as well use the money on baby's needs..my two cents
