Change yours to Mk6 loh....fast fast we can DIT......hhahhahhahahBoth are good cars. On the looks department, i'd say maybe the E90 edge it a little. More matured loking. The VW still carries that racer boy feel to it. This is just my opinion.
But in conclusion, i vote MK6. All rounder works for me. A plus point is when i am bored, the mods are easily available for me to play around with the car
VW is the Proton of Germany....
True. And the F/C advantage for E90 320d doesn't make a significant difference for my usage as I don't cover that much KMs.Both are good cars.

My brother owns the Mk5, and I have 2 friends who owns the E90 320d. Sure, parts costs more if you compare to Japanese counter parts, e.g. brake pads, rotors etc. But they are also quite sturdy and things don't fail that often.
My worries also on those German cars are the electronics/sensors/systems which are complicated and may cost a lot to repair.
I feel buying a Subaru Impreza in automatic is stupid of me. Colin Mcrae would rise from the grave and kick me for buying an auto preza. As for the parts, not sure if Impreza got that much parts availability. For sure Golfs are more common here on the road than the Impreza v10.
True the GTI seems to be more common nowadays compared to the Impreza but the Impreza engine is pretty much similar to the old ones right, especially if opting for 2.0, no? I don't know maybe you're right also. Choices for mods/tuning the Impreza should have more I think, rims also a lot more choices due to common PCD. Anyway that's just to give you a different idea. I know automatic Impreza is like missing the point but I think still a safer choice than the GTI. Furthermore, your brother already uses a GTI and your friends the E90 then why not be different instead of just follow everybody else? Like you said GTI also pretty common now on the roads (plus it looks the same like the TSi), so with the Impreza at least more rare/different, plus you'll smoke your brother and those 3 friends too at least in the straights.
Well. At least it's not going to give me STD, and it's not a CVT. By the way I really liked the Subaru Impreza V9, in black, manual of course. But not practical for my usage, the manual that is.True the GTI seems to be more common nowadays compared to the Impreza but the Impreza engine is pretty much similar to the old ones right, especially if opting for 2.0, no?

Anyway it seems you've made your mind at least to about 80-90% like my friend last time, so I suppose not much I can say anymore. Just go ahead and buy, hopefully it turns out good for you.
I like older Impreza, the GC8, but yeah the V9 also quite nice in black, especially the S204. Normal STI V9 now quite cheap also. But I'm much more of an Evo fan.
Isn't the Boxer flat four engine higher maintenance like for timing belt, service etc....Evo still straight 4.....I like older Impreza, the GC8, but yeah the V9 also quite nice in black, especially the S204. Normal STI V9 now quite cheap also. But I'm much more of an Evo fan.
Bite the bullet, Go for Mk6, your heart is already there.....
I agree that German cars electronics, sensors and not to forget parts are expensive. It's not wonder that some of my friends whom drive German cars always drive down to Singapore for major repair work.
Yup, aside form other factors maybe that's also one factor that makes the Impreza used prices much cheaper compared to Evo.
