Are you looking at the car to be your daily driver? If so, there's not much comparison between AWD and RWD regardless of the manufacturer. The Mustangs will probably start showing up all over the place and be a dime a dozen within a year so it most likely won't hold value like the Subaru will. A 2 door vs a 4 door is also an apples to oranges comparison so it's really tough to weigh the cars. It really depends on your needs and what you're willing to sacrifice. If we continue to have significant snow storms in the upcoming winters, you'll regret the rwd. The downside to the awd is the lousy gas mileage every single day when you might only need the awd a couple of times a year. Do you ski, snowboard, do other winter sports that the awd will be able to get you there where the rwd won't? Will you ever need to tow anything like a pwc, boat, bike, landscape trailer? How many miles will you put on it in a year? I really think the Subaru will probably be the better vehicle for most people and if it holds value better, then that's a bonus.
