Should I pick a 2017 Mazda 3 or Subaru Impreza?

I am looking at purchasing either a new Mazda 3 Maxx or the Subaru Impreza in the near future. I was leaning towards the Impreza, but all the comments about the CVT transmission have me concerned, and there’s no manual transmission is available. Which would be your pick out of the two?

I’m not a fan of the CVT auto, so my pick would be the Mazda, which has a conventional automatic transmission.
