What type of subaru should I buy next?

You're on a Subaru forum asking if you should buy a Honda product over a Subaru product, I think your answers are going to be a little biased. Why would u want a wrong wheel drive, heavy, torqueless rice burner anyway?

Why is the spare tire in the engine compartment?

I'm pretty sure that's where it belongs on those old Subarus.

I guess with the low boxer engine and small wheels, they had room, so the engineers figured why not save some trunk space

They come that way. it fits on a metal plat that's behind the engine and over part of the tranny.
