I really wanted to consider the Impreza. It's identical to the Crosstrek under the hood. But my sole reason for not getting the Impreza: no spare tire. Plenty of small cars have spares. They could have put one in there. A flat-fix kit and jack are provided, but you'll still need to get you car towed if there's a blowout or gash. Nobody wants to be stuck on the side of the road for such a simple fix and no spare.
