Question Lancer Ralliart vs Subaru 2.5RS Sedan

Breif description
Lancer Ralliart starting from $23,008 CND
Horsepower: 162 hp @ 5750 rpm
Torque: 162 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
Subaru 2.5RS Sedan starting from $26,995 CND
Horsepower: 165 hp @ 5600 rpm
Torque: 166 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm

The question is simple, which is better? both cars are extremly even (stat wise and price wise) My family is deciding between these two. Personally i'm leading towards the but yet my brother thinks its too "rice y" i plan to prove him wrong haha, so i want to know ur personal experiance's with between these cars. (realibilitly, saftey, etc..)

But with my "adult" personality aside...who will simply win over a race? Does anyone have any articles on these two? Or if anyone even tried racing each other for personal fun
Please give me some feedback, my famliy is planing to purchase one of the cars in the upcoming month or two

That is f*#^ing s#@t that u get the Mivec. Down here, the best engine in a Lancer apart from the 4G63T is the 2.0L SOHC 92kw We have the FTO down here, 6A12 Mivec (150kw stock) which is a complete bolt in on a Lancer.

Cheers

The new motortrend compares these two as well the the Focus and SE-R Spec V. They have the Lancer Ralliart running:
0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds and 1/4 mile in 14.97 @90.88 mph
The Subie runs a 8.3 second 0-60 mph and does the quarter mile in 15.97 seconds @ 84.37 mph. Hope this helps.

I dig the new Ralliart Lancer, but it is missing one key feature for me: all wheel drive. My last 2 cars have been awd, and after 5 winters, I can't see myself owning anything but for daily drivers....

Umm, motro trend was paid off by Mitsu. The ralliart beat the Spec V?????????? How in hades did that happen. Oh well they must be smoking somthing. Ill try to find the numbers of the actual Ralliart and not some hopped up one that mitsu gave to them on a silver platter.

The numbers Road & Track posted were the official press release numbers. R&T did not track the car themselves.
Either way, comparing the numbers is just magazine racing. We need someone to take a stock RalliArt to the track and race a stock SE-R V-spec.
One possible reason the RalliArt won, could simply be the the excellent 5-speed...

I beat one of the new subaru RS's. Quite convincingly too. Now had the floor been wet, i dunno. With that said, I recommend the Ralliart over the RS Impreza. But if you're looking for Safety, I guess AWD is the way to go. But if you wanna win, go with the Ralliart!
