I can tell you mileage sucks on subarus, and there isn't that much room for improvement with out major mods (like taking out a set of axles). But they are great in the snow. My first car was a 92 legacy, with studded snow tires. I tried to get it stuck, but never managed to. My 99 impreza is not as good (too light & I need snow tires), but it gets better mileage (28 vs 25 with similar driving). Subarus are not too hard to work on or find parts for, and they always seem to start, and get you where your going.
That said, I'd recommend the civic.
