I'm looking at these two for my next car. MSRP prices are almost the same, a little over $18K. Mazda3 s Sport 5dr 5sp $18520 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 5dr 5sp $18140 Any thoughts? Replies to this message: exit123 (Oct 22, 2007 8:44 am) exit123 (Oct 23, 2007 3:23 pm)

Replying to: exit123 (Oct 21, 2007 5:53 pm) The Impreza will probably have better crash test results, but for now, neither of these 08 models have been tested. And, if they don't test the 08 Mazda3 with air curtains the side-impact test is worthless anyway.
